Job description

This is a rare opportunity to step straight into a ready-made patient list in central Vancouver, with a clinic-held waitlist waiting to attach and minimum billing potential of CAD $445,740 based on 5 patients per hour (approx. £240,000) under LFP. Most of the team work 9am to 4pm and walk to work, with False Creek on the doorstep.

The Practice

• An independent, owner-run clinic that reinvests in its space, staff and physicians rather than running on corporate margins
• A brand-new clinic space opened two years ago in Vancouver's Broadway health corridor, close to Vancouver General Hospital, the largest hospital in Western Canada
• A collaborative, sociable team sharing an open workspace overlooking False Creek, with built-in mentorship and cross-cover
• An in-house OBGYN service on site, alongside family physician maternity care, a breastfeeding clinic and a high volume of IUD and contraception procedures
• A strong young family mix, with many new parents and babies coming through the maternity and breastfeeding services

Benefits

• A clinic-held waitlist of patients ready to attach, so you build your panel quickly without advertising
• Minimum earning potential of CAD $445,740 (approx. £240,000) full-time under LFP, based on 5 patients an hour
• Overhead of 25-30%, so you keep 70-75%, with scope for overhead to reduce once your panel is established
• A typical 9am to 4pm working day, with an optional and typically quieter late shift from 1pm to 8pm
• 10 or 15-minute appointments, set by you
• Working days agreed up front, and the practice has always accommodated requested days so far
• A deep locum bench covering your panel, so holidays and trips home don't leave a backlog
• LMIA visa sponsorship discussed, with the practice willing to apply
• A 2-3 year contract to align with your work permit, available to discuss at interview
• Colleagues happy to share local recommendations on schools and areas to live

Location Overview

The practice sits in Fairview on the south shore of False Creek, just 3km from downtown Vancouver, and most of the team live locally and walk to work in around 20 minutes. The False Creek Seawall links Granville Island's public market, Olympic Village and Stanley Park on foot or by bike, while Kits Beach and its outdoor saltwater pool are seven minutes' drive away. Families have Queen Elizabeth Park's gardens and city views five minutes from the clinic, with skiing and mountain hiking on the North Shore within an hour. The new Broadway Subway, due to open in 2027, will bring SkyTrain stations right to the clinic's doorstep.
