BCHealthCareers.ca is a resource that works in partnership with health authorities, regulatory colleges, organizations and other partners to connect health professionals to jobs in British Columbia.
The website is primarily focused on recruiting:
In short, the website is designed to attract a broad range of talent to ensure the health needs of everyone in British Columbia are met. And so far, the response has been positive. This initiative builds on recent marketing campaigns undertaken in the U.K. and Ireland last year to attract health professionals to B.C., and complements the work that B.C. is doing to fast-track credential recognition for health professionals from other countries and provinces.
Since announcing the recruitment campaign in March, nearly 1,600 American nurses, doctors and allied health professionals have expressed interest in working in British Columbia.
While the objective of BCHealthCareers.ca is to connect health-care professionals with current job openings, there are additional government-funded programs to help individuals already living in B.C. become a health care assistant or a mental health and addictions worker. Visit the Health Career Access Program (HCAP) to learn more.
