Come be part of one of the most ambitious healthcare projects in Canada and help shape what’s next for mental health care.
As Canada’s healthcare landscape is changing, the new St. Paul’s Hospital is being built to lead that change, including a major expansion of mental health services.

Opening in February 2027, the new St. Paul’s Hospital is one of the most technologically advanced and ambitious healthcare projects in Canada, bringing together digitally enabled care, research, innovation and an integrated approach to meeting the needs of the patients and communities we serve. As part of this transformation, PHC is expanding its Mental Health services, creating an opportunity for RNs and RPNs to join our Acute Mental Health Program at a pivotal time and help shape how complex mental health care is delivered in purpose-built, inpatient rooms designed from the ground up to help support both patients and clinical teams.

PHC's Mental Health Program is a global leader in the treatment of complex mental health disorders, and the largest integrated mental health program in British Columbia, Here, you’ll be part of a united, multidisciplinary team driven by one shared belief: people living with mental illness deserve better. Our RNs and RPNs are core members of our interdisciplinary teams, working closely with other care providers like Peers, Psychiatrists, Social Workers, Physiotherapists, and Occupational Therapists to tackle the variety of treatment needs of the patient populations we serve.

With a tight-knit and supportive working environment that fosters a sense of community amongst practitioners dedicated to patient care, being a mental health nurse at PHC provides incredible opportunities for interdisciplinary learning, mentorship, and professional development.
