Full job description
Summary of Role:
Reporting to the Patient Care Manager (PCM) of Ambulatory Mental Health, the Neuromodulation Patient Care Coordinator (PCC) plays a key clinical and operational leadership role within the G2 Neuromodulation Clinic. This dynamic clinic includes Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), Ketamine treatment, and a Medication Clinic (LAI and Clozapine monitoring). The PCC provides day-to-day coordination and oversight of clinical operations, supports ongoing quality improvement, and ensures efficient patient care delivery across all neuromodulation modalities.

The PCC works in close collaboration with the ECT Team Leader (TL), who leads the clinical operations of the PACU-based ECT clinic during morning sessions.

The PCC and TL jointly identify trends, address operational challenges, and keep the PCM informed of emerging issues impacting patient care or clinic performance.

The PCC is also expected to assume a direct patient care assignment as needed, providing flexible clinical coverage and mentorship to nursing staff.
