About the role
Our team is looking for part time and full time midwives to come work for periods of 2 to 8 weeks, 2 to 8 times a year.
We are a team of Inuit and non-Inuit midwives who are dedicated to training more Inuit midwives and keeping births in the community. We work in a small hospital in a remote community (no ER, no anesthesia), where midwives provide all prenatal care, as well as care during labor for low to medium risk pregnancies, with support from family doctors in cases of emergencies or higher risk pregnancies and births. We also participate in medical evacuations (by plane) from smaller communities, mostly for preterm labor and birth. Our common language of work is English, but a lot of charting at the hospital is in French, and Inuktitut is most of the population's first language.
Please reach out for any additional information or to offer your support to our team!
