We are excited to be moving to a bright, beautiful, and much larger space located near VCC/Clark Skytrain Station and Clark/Broadway intersection in March 2022. Within this new space, we have an area perfectly suited to a new midwifery clinic with 3 patient rooms (potential for more if needed) and a large reception area.

Seeking a long-term partner to join our team - 0.5-1.0 FTE (negotiable)

Terra Nova Midwifery in Richmond BC is seeking applications for a new member to join our growing team for June 2022 (or earlier ).

We are currently a team of 3 people working a 2.5 FTE caseload.  We are growing to meet the exploding demand for midwives in the Richmond and South Delta (Ladner, Tsawwassen) areas and referrals from local physicians.     

Our hospital privileges are at Richmond Hospital (Vancouver Coastal Health) and we do around 30% of our births at home each month. Our clinic is located in the charming Steveston Village area of Richmond, with access to sunny walks on the pier, great restaurants and a small-town vibe. Our two MOA’s are both efficient, friendly and very knowledgeable birth workers who provide amazing administrative support. 

We care for a diverse population of lovely families in the area and have a full roster of clients each month (plus a substantial waitlist), with both primips and multips, lots of repeat clients and many word of mouth referrals. We have been nurturing relationships with birthing families in the Tsawwassen First Nation and have enjoyed being a part of bringing home birth back to their  traditional ancestral land.

We enjoy excellent collegial relationships with our consultant OB/Gyn’s and pediatricians and work well as a team in our hospital Birth Centre. We have highly-cooperative professional relationships with the RN’s at our hospital, who provide 1:1 nursing care. Our hospital is lauded for its low cesarean birth rate/dedication to normal birth, and is a very pro-midwifery working environment.

Applicants shoul be eligible for registration in BC and in good standing with the BCCNM.  You should be someone who has integrity, a good work ethic, is a caring team mate and is interested in building a burn-out proof/sustainable practice.  

If you are interested in this opportunity, please email a CV and a brief introductory email to info@terranovamidwifery.com. 

Thanks for your interest.

Midwives needed in Kamloops, BC!

https://mightyoakmidwifery.ca

Our approach to care emphasizes continuity of care provider in a supported solo or two-midwife shared caseload model: A fulltime midwife carries 4-5 primary clients per month full time (or less part time) based on individual preference for caseload.  We support each other in back up pods of 2 - 3 midwives in order to preserve continuity for families and work-life balance for midwives.  Each midwife takes 8 weeks holiday per year and we schedule flex days off each month, within our pods. 

Our midwives work autonomously and cooperatively under the umbrella of Mighty Oak Midwifery Care.  

Our homebirth rate is approximately 30 - 35%.  We have a lovely clinic space that also houses group prenatal classes and a team of three professional Doulas.  Our office is established with Accuro EMR and we have MOA support.  We serve a diverse population including Indigenous communities, both rural and urban families, university students, immigrants and refugees.

Royal Inland Hospital is a Level 2 hospital with 1100 – 1200 births per year.  Midwifery services here were established in 2008 and we have excellent working relationships with our consultants and nursing staff.   There are four active second attendants in our community; all nurses from LDR and/or NICU.

If you are interested in applying for a position, please send a letter of interest and CV to joanna@mightyoakmidwifery.ca or call 250-377-8611.

Thank you,
