Description

The British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) is the largest health regulator in Western Canada and the first in Canada to regulate both nursing and midwifery. With more than 75,000 registrants across five professions—licensed practical nurses, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, registered psychiatric nurses, and midwives—BCCNM plays a vital role in ensuring that nurses and midwives provide safe, ethical, and competent care across the province.

BCCNM is seeking a visionary and strategic leader who also brings a deep understanding of operational excellence to serve as their next Registrar / CEO. This is a rare opportunity to lead a respected and progressive organization at a pivotal time in health care.

• Lead BCCNM through a period of significant transformation, including legislative change and internal modernization.
• Balance long-term strategic vision with the practical realities of regulatory operations.

• Collaborate with government and health system partners to address critical issues such as health workforce shortages and systemic inequities.
• Represent BC’s regulatory leadership on national and international stages.
• Inspire confidence and trust among registrants, partners, and the public.

Guided by BCCNM’s values— Nutsamaht (we are one), Caring, Leaderful, Collaborative, Strategic, and Humble —the new Registrar / CEO will lead with courage, compassion and a deep respect for Indigenous rights and ways of knowing.
