Career Opportunity: Regional Health Recruitment Liaison

Job Posting No. 2022.29

The Regional Health Recruitment Liaison plays a critical role in the recruitment and retention of healthcare professionals to the Northern Rockies. As a term position, reporting to the Corporate Manager, the Liaison works closely with local, regional and provincial health care employers to design, resource and launch recruitment campaigns, coordinating and tracking campaigns to improve effectiveness and impact, and liaising with prospective candidates to promote living in the Northern Rockies.

• A university degree in a related field (e.g., marketing, communications, public administration, health administration) and/or an equivalent combination of education and at least five years’ experience.
• Demonstrated experience in recruitment and retention including needs assessment, supply planning, developing recruitment campaigns, supporting virtual and on-site visits and understanding the needs of health care providers and their families relocating to a new community.
• The candidate will recognize the importance of developing and sustaining high-accountability relationships with public and private sector health care employers at the community, regional, and, as needed, provincial level.
• This position has frequent contact with health care providers, health employers, First Nations, media and community partners requiring exceptional communication skills. Considerable tact and diplomacy.
