WorkSafeBC seeks resourceful, knowledgeable professionals to play leadership roles in facilitating return to employment for injured workers by developing supportive, consultative relationships with workers, employers, and health care providers.
As nurse advisor and part of an integrated service team, you’ll lead a collaborative effort to clear roadblocks to restore work continuity. Your academic/clinical background and experience enable you to find effective, personalized, and supportive solutions.
Your workdays will vary: You may don a hard hat, high-visibility vest, and safety boots at a work site to assess the suitability of modified return-to-work conditions. Or, you may present your assessment and recommendations to colleagues at the office.
You can organize your own work schedule to create a Monday to Friday (days only) schedule that enables you to fulfill your duties and meet the needs of your clients. You will attain the sense of achievement and job satisfaction that comes with seeing a challenge through to completion, and knowing you’ve made a positive impact on the lives of others.
As the ideal candidate, you possess the following:
- Valid registration with the CRNBC
- BSc in nursing preferred, plus 5-6 years of related experience
- Demonstrated knowledge in occupation health and safety, disability management, or similar focus
- Valid driver’s license
- Post-RN qualification in occupational health/community health preferred
These positions offer tremendous diversity and a stimulating work environment. We are committed to work-life balance and have excellent opportunities for professional growth, a competitive salary, and an attractive benefits package, including:
- Earned time off program: Three weeks vacation, with ability to add 13 days
- No weekend/shift work; all statutory holidays off
- Funding to support ongoing education
- Paid CRNBC registration yearly
- WCB Superannuation Pension Plan
- Care and nurturing program: Leave up to max five years for care/nurturing of children
- Self funded leave: Contribute 20 percent of salary annually for four years; take fifth year off and use your accumulated funds
A challenging and stimulating work environment and a competitive salary and benefits package can be expected. To make a difference and pursue a rewarding career, e-mail your résumé and cover letter, by January 9, 2009, to careers@worksafebc.com or apply online.
On January 9, 2009, the current cycle of recruitment will come to a close. However, we continue to welcome applications for positions at all our locations on an ongoing basis.
Please note that only those under consideration will be contacted. If you are unsuccessful, please accept our appreciation for your interest. WorkSafeBC is committed to employment equity objectives and invites applications from all qualified individuals.
