Company Description

About the Opportunity
The Newcomer Health Clinic is looking for a compassionate and community-minded Family Physician to join our dedicated and interdisciplinary team. You’ll work alongside Family Physicians, Registered Nurses, a Dietitian, a Social Worker, administrative support, and visiting specialists in Pediatrics, Gynecology, Psychiatry, and more.

Our clinic is purpose-built to care for newly arrived refugees during their first one to two years in Canada. We focus on providing comprehensive care while helping patients transition to long-term primary care in the community. Language barriers are never a burden—we have excellent interpretive services fully integrated into our clinical processes and funded by the provincial government.

Whether or not you have a background in refugee or global health, you’ll be warmly welcomed. Our team culture is one of support and collaboration, and new physicians are always encouraged to ask questions and learn as they go. What we value most is compassion. The work can be intense, but for those with the right heart, it’s deeply meaningful.
