Nurse Practitioner – Chilcotin Area, BC (Part-time, Full-time or Casual)

The Chilcotin region of British Columbia is located between the Coast Mountains and the Central Interior of BC. The diverse landscape ranges from grassy plateaus and rolling meadows to picturesque canyons and high mountain peaks. Although you'll find cowboy boots and Stetson hats to be standard issue, this breathtaking area offers camping, great fishing, kayaking, canoeing, outstanding snowmobiling and the spectacular environment attracts valuable wildlife habitat. The local residents are friendly, full of stories, and are always ready to entertain. Don’t take our word for it – this video speaks a thousand words!

An Exciting Opportunity

The Nurse Practitioner will work with nurses employed by the province, First Nations and Inuit Health, and First Nations employers. This position provides professional guidance to other health professionals, and practices autonomously and interdependently within the context of an interdisciplinary health care team, making referrals to specialist physicians and others as appropriate.

This position also collaborates with patients/clients/residents and other health professionals to identify and assess trends and patterns that have implications for families and communities, develops and implements population and evidence based strategies to improve health, and participates in policy-making activities that influence health services and practices.

To succeed in this role, your ability to lead a team and work within a team, teach, coach and mentor will be invaluable, as will your ability to critically assess and evaluate health research literature to determine best practices.

Your relevant clinical nursing experience together with current registration as a Nurse Practitioner with the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia (CRNBC) matches the critical qualifications for this role. If you have excellent communication and collaboration skills, the ability to consult with and formally refer clients to physicians and other health professionals, and work with a diverse cultural group of several First Nations in the area, we look forward to hearing from you.

A Better Life

We have more than 2000 hours of bright sunshine in a year and offer a breathtaking “four seasons” playground with affordable homes, first-rate schools, the serenity of living in a smaller community, and an enviable quality of life.

Room to Grow

We provide Competitive Wages, Comprehensive Benefits, a Pension Plan, and a Relocation Assistance Program.
