Cariboo Midwives is looking for a new owner or manager. This opportunity is for anyone who has wanted to try owning or managing a practice but doesn't know where to start. It is also a one-of-a-kind opportunity for someone who would like to break into the housing market and business ownership all-in-one as we are looking to sell the practice as a package with our very sweet little home. That said, we are open to considering a variety of other arrangements making this a "build-your-own-adventure" kind of posting.

 We love our community and are proud of our high-functioning, beautiful clinical space, and the high-quality care we provide. If this catches your eye, please see our posting and get in touch. We'd love to chat with you. 

The East Kootenay Midwives, a practice in Cranbrook in the beautiful Rockies, is seeking a midwife or two to join the practice. Two of our current four midwives are moving on to different projects at the end of May 2023.

We are a friendly, shared-care practice. We are committed to our clients and to one another, and value good communication, evidence-based care.

We are still paper charting (yes I know !) and same at our hospital. Our regional hospital is midwife friendly.

As the basecamp of the Kootenay Rockies, Cranbrook has it all - From all the trails one can dream of to multiple award-winning golf courses all within a 20 minutes drive from town, Cranbrook is an adventure and outdoor enthusiast's paradise. Kimberley Alpine Resort is 30 km from Cranbrook and lots of other mountains within a few hours drive. Add beautiful lakes to swim during the summer.

1 Year Locum in Campbell River with Ocean Grove Midwifery Collective

We are seeking a Registered Midwife for a 1 year locum in Campbell River starting in September 2022. Campbell River is located within the ancestral, traditional and unceded territory of the Ligwilda’xw people; the We Wai Kai, Wei Wei Kum, and Kwiakah First Nations. 

Campbell River is a wonderful spot to work as a midwife. This position is on a team of two who prioritize work life balance taking a caseload of 5-7 clients per month. The two week schedule is currently two days of clinic (Wed, Thurs) , 1 week on call (Friday 9 am- Friday 9 am) and five days off. Rural locum days are available for up to 15 days of holiday coverage over the 1 year period.

The clinic supports 5 midwives. Midwives provide care for 35-40% of the births in the community. There are approximately 350-400 births per year in Campbell River. The hospital is a very supportive and collaborative environment. There are three OBs in our community and two pediatricians. The hospital provides care for births over 36 weeks as there is no NICU. There is lots of support for RMs doing surgical assist if that is something that is of interest. Homebirth is an important part of team’s practice and we provide back up for the other RMs in the clinic.

The clinic is a cozy space across from the hospital. We use EMR charting and have amazing MOA support on every clinic day.

Campbell River is a beautiful ocean side community with great access to the outdoors. There is incredible hiking, biking, and camping near by as well as Mt Washington Ski Hill 40 min away. This position would be a good fit for someone who wants more work life balance in a rural location. The long weekends off allow for lots of exploration and time away from on call.

If you have questions or are interested in joining our team please email info@oceangrovemidwiferycare.com  

We are looking for a third midwife to join our small and stable team of 2 midwives as Community Midwives Kelowna in Kelowna, BC. We are hoping to have someone by this fall, but have a lot of flexibility on a start date for the right fit! 

I am seeking a locum ideally for next January through to August 2023, though there is the possibility of starting sooner if desired. You would be joining a shared-care team of 2, possibly 3 midwives in a very supportive clinic with three other midwives. Our typical schedule is flexible and offers work/life balance, and as a clinic we strive to support each other when we get busy. We have a fabulous MOA that supports us. There is a possibility for local accommodation. 

Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, a 224 acute-bed regional referral hospital, enjoys a new'ish perinatal unit with single room maternity care and Level II Special Care Nursing offering 1,200 deliveries per year with RMs currently doing 30% of these births. 

Nanaimo is a classic West Coast community that boasts access to local hiking trails, mountain bike trails and the ocean. It has a temperate climate with mild rainy winters and warm dry summers. Victoria, Tofino and Mt Washington (for down-hill and cross country skiing) are all within relative proximity. 

If this sounds right for you or you would like  more information please do not hesitate to contact me.

Warm regards,

We are welcoming expressions of interest starting Summer 2023!  Start date flexible.

This is an opportunity to enjoy a low-volume, primary/continuity model of care within the support of a larger practice group.  We can accommodate two additional full time midwives.

Each midwife carries 4-5 primary clients per month based on individual preference.  The midwifery group supports each other for back up, regular off call and holidays.  Our midwives work autonomously and cooperatively.  Each midwife takes 8 weeks holiday per year and has regular days off-call throughout the each month.

Our homebirth rate is generally around 30%.  We have a lovely warm clinic space that also houses group prenatal classes and a team of professional doulas and CBEs.  Our office is established with Accuro EMR and we have MOA support.

Royal Inland Hospital is a Level 2 hospital supporting 1100 – 1200 births per year.  Midwifery services here were established in 2008 and we have excellent working relationships with our consultants and nursing staff.   Three of the RNs from LDR / NICU are also second attendants.

Kamloops is an urban setting with a rural feel! There are plenty of family activities and outdoor adventures to enjoy, including water-sports, mountain biking, hiking, climbing, and skiing and snowboarding (Sun Peaks, just 45 minutes from Kamloops, is the second largest ski-hill in Canada).  Check us out, https://www.venturekamloops.com/why-kamloops/quality-lifestyle/
