Correctional Health Services

 

Correctional Health Services (CHS) is a province-wide, specialized program providing care for clients who are incarcerated in one of BC’s 10 provincial correctional facilities. People who are incarcerated are often in poorer health than the general population, and are more likely to live with chronic illness. Treating adult clients across the province within the correctional centres, CHS provides health care services including medical and nursing care, primary care, mental health and substance use treatment support, basic emergency response services, opioid antagonist treatments and care, dentistry, and post-discharge supports.

We believe everyone deserves a chance to access healthcare treatments and heal, and CHS offers a non-judgemental place to help make that happen.

Join our dedicated, compassionate, multi-disciplinary team, where safety comes first and you make a difference…every single day. CHS offers diverse career opportunities including nurses, physicians, dentists, social workers, psychologists, Indigenous patient navigators, specialized team members who help patients transition back into the community, and more.View all Correctional Health Services jobs
