Hello all,
We are looking for a locum to join our shared care practice in Mission which is in the heart of the Fraser Valley--close to Vancouver, the US border, and endless recreational opportunities. The dates of the locum would be September 1, 2020, to September 1, 2021. New grads are welcome to apply.
Mission is a wonderful place to live and work, with a small town feel but with easy access to the city an hour away. You will be joining 3 other full-time midwives to work as a team of 4. We work as a shared care group, booking on average 4 births per month per midwife. This model allows ample off call time to explore the area, spend more time with family, or whatever your heart would like to do!
Our clinic is located in the heart of downtown Mission in a restored heritage house, with excellent administration support. We use electronic charting, and an answering service which makes switching call very easy.
We attend hospital births at Abbotsford Regional Hospital which was built in 2008 and features single-room maternity care and 3 tub rooms. We have 24 hour OB and Pediatric availability at our Level 2 hospital, and are lucky to have excellent relationships with our OB and Pediatrician colleagues as well as our nursing staff. As well, we are very committed to having a fun, fair and supportive environment between ourselves as midwives--this job can be stressful enough, am I right? We strive to make sure all the midwives in the group feel valued and supported.
Mission is located on the north side of the Fraser River in the Central Fraser Valley, an outdoor paradise surrounded by mountains, forests, and lakes. There are plentiful trails for hiking or mountain biking, where you can be rewarded by magical views of the Fraser River and the majestic Mt. Baker watching over us. We are lucky to be surrounded by farmland and get to enjoy fresh bounty through local markets and restaurants.
