Written By Neurodiversity Wellness Collective

About This Role

We are looking for a Family Nurse Practitioner to join NWC on a contract basis to provide neurodivergent-affirming assessment and ongoing medication management for neurodivergent adults. This is not a high-volume, transactional role, we are looking for a practitioner who approaches care holistically and understands that medication management for neurodivergent adults is inseparable from identity, experience, and context.

 

Assessment at NWC will be grounded in the CARES framework, Collaborative Understanding, Accessibility, Recognizing Intersectionality, Empowerment, and Strengths Recognition, a neurodivergent-affirming model for collaborative psychological assessment. The FNP joining NWC will be expected to apply this model in practice.

 

What You'll Do

  • Deliver neurodivergent-affirming assessments for ADHD adults, grounded in the CARES framework (O'Neil Woods, Brook & Angoff, 2025)

  • Provide ADHD medication management in a holistic, person-centred framework, attending to the whole person, not just symptom reduction

  • Order and interpret relevant lab work to rule out physical contributors to presenting concerns where appropriate

  • Collaborate with NWC's counselling team to provide integrated, coordinated client care

  • Communicate with clients in affirming, non-pathologizing, identity-first language throughout

✦ Lived experience with neurodivergence is valued.

✦ POC and culturally diverse practitioners, strongly encouraged to apply

 

What NWC Offers
