August brings bounty of Job opportunities in Health Care for Prince Rupert

Northern Health is on the search for some medical help at
Prince Rupert Regional Hospital with a range of positions listed
on their Employment portal this month

Medical practitioners, Nurses and a range of medical support staff professionals looking for a new home and new horizons, should look no further than Northern Health's Help Wanted listings, which this month feature a number of openings for those that may want to call the North Coast Home.

The start of August makes for a pretty extensive listing of opportunities, indicative of the competitive nature of the medical professions and the challenges that Northern Health has had in finding talent to travel to some of the more distant places on the Northern Health map.

The Highlight job for the week was recently featured through a twitter post, with Northern Health's quest for a Primary Care Nurse for Prince Rupert Regional Hospital also including a short snapshot of the lifestyle available on the North Coast.
