Role and Facility Information
About the Opportunity
The Central Interior Rural Primary Care Network is seeking a passionate, Primary Care Nurse Practitioner to join our team providing health care to the community of Anahim Lake, Ulkatcho First Nation.
About the Area
The Chilcotin is rich and vibrant in both ranching and indigenous history, with strong cultural influences. There is access to a wide variety of outdoor activities, including hiking, camping, skiing, fishing and other water activities.
The Central Interior Rural region currently has 4 Primary Care Nurse Practitioners who enjoy working in our Northern Communities of Williams Lake and 100 Mile House. These positions offer a balanced practice for those wanting to enjoy a rural lifestyle. Within a smaller network of Physicians and other practitioners with great community need, there are endless opportunities for professional experience and growth which can be catered to your interests and goals. Pair that with the family-oriented, slower-paced lifestyle of the Cariboo, rich with cultural and outdoor activities and affordable housing, and you will be glad you came!
There is something here to be enjoyed by everyone! There are endless outdoor adventures, including mountain biking, hiking/snowshoeing, skiing/snowboarding, or kayaking/swimming in one of our many gorgeous lakes. The Cariboo offers cultural experiences with First Nations traditional events, arts, community theatre, food, local shopping, and farmer’s markets. A great place to raise a family, the Cariboo is a welcoming and beautiful place to live and work.
