Role and Facility Information

Shape the future of adult mental healthcare in Cranbrook at East Kootenay Regional Hospital (EKRH), where your specialized expertise in adult psychiatry and compassion will significantly impact the care of adult patients. Join a dynamic mental health team extending services from inpatient and outpatient settings to community-driven initiatives and Indigenous collaborations, tailoring a holistic approach to the unique wellness needs of adults.

In our 12-bed inpatient unit and outpatient clinic, as well as through consultations in medical, surgical units, and the ER, you’ll deliver comprehensive care tailored to adults. Beyond the hospital, your initiatives will expand mental health access in the rural East Kootenays, pioneering innovative adult-specific treatment with our clinical teams and Indigenous partners.

This role offers abundant opportunities to manage a spectrum of conditions prevalent in adulthood, including chronic mental health issues, substance use disorders, and developing strategies tailored to an adult population. You’ll be instrumental in driving significant improvements and uplifting the lives of adults across the region.

At EKRH, we're committed to your growth, fostering work-life balance, continuous learning, and career advancement within a community that supports your journey.
