Registered Nurse

Job title: Registered Nurse

Job description: Your Opportunity:

Imagine growing your practice in a picturesque mountain town virtually unknown to tourists. In Grande Cache, you’ll have the opportunity to work to your full scope of practice as a Registered Nurse, and cross train with the Acute Care and Emergency Department or Residential Care in the course of your regular assignments. In the northernmost reaches of Alberta’s Rocky Mountains, the community of Grande Cache rests on a subalpine plateau about 431 kilometres north of Edmonton. With plentiful mountain trails, lakes, and waterways, Grande Cache residents love to get outside. You may glimpse a wide variety of wildlife, or lay eyes on tracks left behind by dinosaurs. Back in town, you will find the essential amenities and services for modern living, including a k-12 school for the approximately 3,600 people who live here. Whether you are interested in organized sports, theatre, music, or visual arts, you can lead an inspired lifestyle in Grande Cache. If you need to relocate, we can offer three months’ free temporary accommodations to help you transition to a more permanent home. AHS is Canada’s first and largest province-wide, fully-integrated health system, and has been named among Canada’s Top 100 Employers, Alberta’s Top 75 Employers and a top employer for young people and diversity. With a supportive employer, endless opportunities for professional development, and comprehensive benefits, including health and dental, you and your family can truly thrive.
