About the role

Joining us at Royal Inland Hospital, you’ll have a crucial role as part of our High Acuity Response Team (HART).

The HART program at Interior Health is a very successful innovative provincial initiative. The mission is to provide mobile critical care for patients who reside in the rural areas. The clinical scope of service encompasses adult, pediatric and neonatal patients who require greater than Basic Life Support level of care. The team is comprised of a Critical Care RN and Registered Respiratory Therapist as required. They are supported by Basic Life Support paramedics provided by the British Columbia Ambulance Service and an on-call transport physician. Working in a team environment, HART collaborates with rural clinicians to stabilize the patient and when appropriate, transport the patient to a higher level of care.

This is a relief part-time (0.70) requiring coverage until the return of the incumbent. The schedule for this role is rotating working days 7:00 to 19:15 and nights 19:00 to 7:15.
