Chief Officer, Licensing, Standards & Education
Chief Officer, Practice, Oversight & Quality
Location: Vancouver, BC
With great respect, we acknowledge that BCCNM’s office is located on the unceded territories of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ speaking peoples – xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, and the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh-ulh Sníchim speaking peoples - Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation) whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
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. Regulating more than 79,000 licensed practical nurses, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, registered psychiatric nurses, and midwives, BCCNM plays a critical role in protecting the public by ensuring safe, ethical, and competent care across British Columbia.
Following the retirement of its Chief Officer, Regulatory Policy and Programs, BCCNM has created two new executive positions: the Chief Officer, Licensing, Standards, and Education (CO, LSE) and the Chief Officer, Practice Oversight and Quality (CO, POQ). Together, these complementary roles reflect BCCNM's commitment to strengthening regulation, elevating its voice at the executive table, and advancing a modern, risk-informed approach to public protection.
Reporting to the Registrar & Chief Executive Officer, both Chief Officers are key members of the Executive Leadership Team. Working in close partnership, they provide strategic leadership across the regulatory lifecycle – from entry to practice through ongoing oversight and quality assurance. The CO, LSE leads a team of 76 overseeing licensing, standards of practice & policy development, education program review, and standards support program areas, while the CO, POQ oversees a team of 65 responsible for professional conduct review, quality assurance, and research and evaluation functions.
While each role brings a distinct portfolio, both require accomplished, seasoned executives who can lead through influence, navigate complexity, and inspire high-performing, multidisciplinary teams. The successful candidates will be strategic, collaborative, and politically astute leaders who build trusted relationships, champion innovation, and advance regulatory excellence in service of the public interest.
These are exceptional opportunities to shape the future of health profession regulation in British Columbia while helping lead one of Canada's most respected and progressive health regulators. Guided by BCCNM's values—Nutsamaht (we are one), Caring, Leaderful, Collaborative, Strategic, and Humble—the successful candidates will lead with courage, integrity, and a deep commitment to reconciliation, equity, diversity, and inclusion, and public protection.
BCCNM is committed to an inclusive, equitable, and accessible workplace and strongly encourages applications from Indigenous candidates and candidates from equity-deserving groups.
These roles are based in Vancouver, BC, on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations.
The anticipated salary range for these positions is between $222,322 - $270,234. Placement within a salary band is typically based upon a review of skills, experience, and internal equity.
