West Coast Health Collective (WCHC) is looking for one FULL TIME Midwife to cover a one year leave starting September 2019.  We are excited for the possibilities of applicants from all Provinces and welcome new graduate applicants. 

AT WCHC we believe in collaborative care and share a commitment to the community as well as informed choice.  We have excellent inter-professional relationships and currently hold privileges at Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Langley Memorial Hospital.  Our catchment area includes: Abbotsford, Langley, and parts of Mission and Chilliwack. 

Our midwives currently work in a primary care model amongst a team of supportive midwives, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and registered massage therapy. This has allowed for more personalized care for our clients and a more balanced work/life schedule for our midwives.  We value regular and meaningful time off and strive to work collaboratively with schedules that work for everyone.  This means we are flexible and are committed to supporting one another for regular time off.  We are open to brainstorming other models and will take the successful candidates suggestions into consideration. 

Our Midwives are experienced and passionate about home birth. We host regular information sessions around the safety of home birth and other hot topics such as placenta encapsulation, birth art, optimal fetal positioning, menstrual health/cup workshops, etc. 

Our beautiful and cozy clinic is located conveniently in the heart of Abbotsford.  We are also close to many great areas for hiking, camping and adventuring,  We’re a quick jaunt over to Harrison Hot Springs, Vancouver, the Interior and of course beautiful Washington state.  And let’s not forget Vancouver Island and Whistler aren’t too far for a weekend away.  Abbotsford International Airport also makes travelling out of province or country fast and convenient. 

We are hoping the right locum will be available to start clinic in August and go on call starting September 1^st 2019. Dates are somewhat flexible.

Remuneration is consistent with British Columbia Midwives’ Locum fees, unless a permanent position with us is granted and then this will be renegotiated.

Family Health Midwives​ in Langley, BC​

Seeking a Part-time or Full-time ​Locum Midwife for assistance between May - September, 2019. ​

The locum would be working as a member of a team of 2 or 3 Midwives during this time period.

The team can be flexible with scheduling, rotation, time off, and clinic, if a suitable applicant has specific time constraints or needs.  

The practice is alternatively open to Registered Midwives who would be able to offer our practice coverage for any duration of time during the months above, including coverage for primary or second call shifts, or assistance with clinic days on Tue/Wed/Thurs.

We have the option of applicants applying for either short-term locum or temporary hospital privileges.  Applicants with current hospital privileges within the Fraser Health Authority would be helpful, but not necessary.

The practice has 9-10 EDD’s for these months, July with 12 EDD’s.  We are committed to a schedule that allows for a manageable and satisfying work/life balance.

The Family Health Clinic, founded in 1982 as a Naturopathic clinic, (with Midwives since 1998) is situated in Langley, a fast growing area with many young families. We serve a diverse population including Karen refugees. We have a high number of repeat clients and a home birth rate that ranges from 20-30%. Langley Memorial Hospital is our primary site with Surrey Memorial Hospital (our regional center) serving as our backup, and we work closely and collaboratively with a small group of local specialists. The practice uses electronic charting, an answering service that sends text messages/calls directly to the midwife scheduled on call, and has an MOA providing administrative assistance throughout clinic days.

The Fraser Valley is still quite rural with a variety of organic farms, wineries and markets, opportunities for horseback riding, hiking, canoeing, close to camping, skiing and more! For those keen on enjoying Vancouver itself, central Langley is only 45 minutes from downtown Vancouver to provide the perfect balance of city and country.

We are looking for a General registrant with minimum 1 year practice experience.

Remuneration is expected to be according to MABC locum fee guidelines unless negotiated otherwise.

We would love to hear from you! Please reach out to us if you have any questions.
