About You

Principal Duties and Responsibilities

The First Nations health Authority has 1 contract position available for a midwife on North Vancouver Island to join two other midwives. The position also includes funded-clinic space, a part time Medical Office Assistant and maximum 5% of hours allocated for work-related travel.

The Midwife will provide comprehensive prenatal, intrapartum and postpartum care to the local First Nations communities and the north island region. The midwife will also ensure that these clinical services are provided in a culturally safe and appropriate way.

The components of this role include provision of clinical midwifery care and non-clinical work including collaborating with the Kwakwaka’wakw Maternal Child and Family Health Program as well as offering education to acute care nurses, other health care providers and doulas. These roles also involve community-based education to support families and outreach to local First Nations communities.

The successful midwife will collaborate with other midwives and practitioners to meet the care needs of mother and baby, whether the birth is planned to take place locally on the north island or requires a higher level of care at another site on Vancouver Island. Call coverage will be shared, with at least one midwife on call at any given time.

This unique midwifery opportunity provides clinical care, leadership activities and educational support to other health care providers.
