Excellent opportunities to work in 3 month locum positions in a stunning region of Ontario.

Offering flexible 3-month contracts at 120 hours per month, with the opportunity — but not the requirement — to transition into a permanent role if desired following successful trial period.

Serving a population of more than 170,000 residents and over 2 million short-stay visitors annually, the employer operates six hospitals across Grey and Bruce counties providing emergency, acute, ambulatory, and specialty care within an integrated regional network.

Specialist services include comprehensive surgical services, internal medicine, critical care, neurology, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, psychiatry, anaesthesia, oncology, full diagnostic imaging, and laboratory services.

Locum to Full-Time Opportunity

Locum shifts are pre-scheduled and can be balanced across 4 weeks or condensed into shorter durations each month to then allow physicians time to explore the region. We often say that we work, where others come to play.
