Job description

Are you seeking an exciting Primary Care Paramedic experience in Canada's remote northern communities? Bayshore HealthCare’s Northern Staffing program has provided high-quality community health care solutions to Canada's North since 1997. Our Healthcare Professionals work closely with diverse Indigenous communities (First Nations, Inuit and Métis), providing care to community members. We hire passionate team-members from all over Canada who travel on assignments to remote northern communities of British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. We provide a unique way to experience an expanded clinical scope of practice while enjoying an adventure at the same time! Average assignment durations vary from 2 to 6 weeks.

Do you have a passion to make a difference in the lives of those you care for? Have you thought about travelling for work to expand your personal and professional growth in health care? We provide a unique way to experience an expanded clinical scope of practice while enjoying an adventure at the same time! Average assignment duration is 2 weeks.

The work you will do:

Paramedics will primarily work in clinic-based environments and perform an expanded role in these communities, providing primary and emergency care to all residents – from newborn to elders – through a nursing station / Health Center in a clinic atmosphere.

Responsibilities include health promotion, assessments, support, and implementing care using Best Practice Clinical Practice Guidelines; primary care and emergency care.

Working as part of a care team with nurses in a clinic setting, handling urgent/non-urgent walk-ins, similar to a walk-in clinic here, as well as primary care follow-ups, similar to visiting your doctor’s office for a prescription, test, or follow-up on a condition. They also serve as ER in communities with no ER services.

Providing acute and primary care, with the ability to think and react quickly, prioritize patient needs, and operate independently as there are no physicians on site. Must be able to “hit the ground running.”
