Job description

Come Enjoy the Sunny Okanagan!

About Us: Vernon Midwifery is a dedicated midwifery practice based in the beautiful Vernon, BC. We are seeking a locum midwife to join our team with a flexible start date.

Position Details:

1. Locum position for up to 2.5 years.
2. Flexible start dates, with a preference for fall 2025, but we are open to considering later start dates.
3. Possibility of extension if the candidate receives general privileges.

Why Join Us? Build your dream practice with us! As a supported solo midwife, you’ll have the freedom to choose your caseload volume. You’ll be supported by two solo midwives (from different practices) and a part-time midwife whose primary role is to support other midwives in the community. This means weekends off, holiday time, and last-minute coverage. We are committed to ensuring a smooth transition into our community.

Our Care Philosophy: We provide boutique, relational care. About a quarter of our clients plan out-of-hospital births, within a 30-minute travel distance. We typically have an extensive waitlist.

Our Location: Vernon Midwifery is located in downtown Vernon, just a four-minute drive from Vernon Jubilee Hospital (VJH). VJH is a Level 2B facility with spacious labor rooms equipped with tubs and showers. We enjoy close, collaborative relationships with our obstetric and pediatric colleagues.

Our clinic is in the newly renovated Health Nest, which also houses a family doctor, pelvic floor physiotherapist, massage therapists, and an acupuncturist. We offer prenatal and other relevant group classes on-site. We use ACCURO for electronic charting and currently do not have an MOA.

How to Apply: Please send your questions, CV, and letter of interest to [e-mail]. We look forward to hearing from you and discussing the possibility of midwifery in Vernon further.

Warm regards,
