Port Alberni Midwifery is looking for a part-time Midwife to join our practice. 1:4 or 1:3 call and clinic for 45-50 EDD per year plus prenatal and postpartum care for patients that do not birth with us. Our volume is variable month to month and we would accept up to 80 EDD per year if our communities’ delivery numbers increase. Clinic fees are low, set just to cover expenses. PT MOA support. Juno and Cortico EMR used in clinic. West Coast General has cesarean capacity but doesn’t have a NICU so we have deliveries 36 weeks and up with low and moderate risk level cases. Having surgical assist and IOL scope would be an asset but we can arrange for mentorship to support gaining these skills. RMs cover NRP call at our site as needed so willingness to develop competency in NRP and newborn stabilization without local pediatric back up is required. We receive full RN support for labour management and use LDR nurses, paramedics and community nurses for home birth back up often. Experience working with equity deserving populations would be helpful but a commitment to social justice in your practice would be acceptable. We value diversity in our clinic so people who identify as a member of an under- represented/marginalized group are encouraged to apply. Start date is flexible for anytime in 2026.

Port Alberni has a population of 18,000 and is a nice community to live in for people who love the outdoors. There is easy access to hiking, fishing, swimming, kite surfing, camping, hunting, and foraging all nearby. If you come work with us, I will show you my chanterelle and pine mushroom spots. A 1.5 hr drive away, there is surfing and beach walking in Ucluelet and Tofino and skiing on Mt Washington out of Courtney. Nanaimo is an urban center 1 hr drive away for anything you can’t get or do in Port Alberni and you can stop at Coombs and see the goats on the way there or walk the beaches of Parksville. Real estate here is the most reasonable for the mid and south island. Lots of youth sports leagues, French immersion schools and francophone schools and an indigenous elementary school. There is a growing foodie culture here and we love our Junior A Alberni Bulldogs hockey team.

Please email clinic@portalbernimidwifery.ca if you are interested in this position.

Squamish Birth Program Registered Midwife – Full-Time Locum (1 Year)

Start date: April 1, 2026 (flexible for the right candidate)
With possibility of permanent placement

The Squamish Birth Program is excited to welcome a full-time Registered Midwife to join our midwifery team for a one-year locum, with the possibility of a permanent role thereafter. We are a small, tightly knit, and deeply collaborative maternity care group of midwives and GP's which is the only maternity care providers serving the Sea to Sky corridor. Our team is passionate about rural maternity, home birth and family centered care.

How We Work

As a locum, you would be working on a team with two other midwives and working within a larger collaborative care clinic. Our midwifery call schedule is a three-week rotation:

• One week on call (home birth call, pager, clinic, labs, and home visits)

• Two weeks off midwifery call

During off-call weeks, midwives may choose to pick up hospital shifts, shared between GPs and midwives, allowing for flexibility of pace, practice exposure and income.

The midwifery team currently attend an average of 3–6 home births and care for 10 + prenatal/postpartum clients per month.

On average our collaborative group attends between 30-50 births in the hospital per month

Our Community & Supports

Squamish is a rural community. We work closely with GP-surgeons, locum OBGYN's, and family physicians and our amazing L&D nursing team. Our hospital does not have a NICU or in-house pediatricians, so strong clinical skills, teamwork, and comfort in rural practice are essential.

What We Value

We are a team that truly enjoys working together. We value:

• Client autonomy, informed choice

• Excellence and stability in rural maternity care and home birth availability

• Clear, supportive, and positive communication

• Strong interprofessional relationships

• Flexibility and sustainability in work–life balance

Experience in rural midwifery is an asset. Surgical First Assist and Induction of Labour within scope are also assets, but not required.

Why Squamish

Outside of work, Squamish offers an incredible lifestyle with mountains, ocean, forests, and a welcoming community. Whether you love being outdoors, living in a smaller town, or building meaningful professional relationships and working full scope midwifery, Squamish has a lot to offer.

We are seeking Registered Midwives to join our team for a full-time locum starting this summer!

Who We Are:

We are a team of Registered Midwives working with clients from Victoria, BC’s Westshore (Langford, Highlands, Colwood). Many of us have been working within the Victoria Midwifery community for >10 years. Currently, we have 2 teams, one smaller team and one larger team to accommodate for different schedule types and preferences for practice. We are, however, open to shifting and changing our team structure to support incoming midwives and their desired way of practicing/doing on-call work. 

We have supported interdisciplinary students within our practice and regularly support midwifery learners. We all hold privileges at Victoria General Hospital. We operate in a cost-sharing model – we all earn equal billings, we all pay equal portions of the overhead, and we all contribute to the work of keeping the clinic running smoothly. This lends to cooperation and a feeling of inclusion for all midwives at the practice. We value and believe in supporting one another. We believe this  is critical in sustaining midwifery life balance. We have a lot of fun together and try to regularly plan team events, meals, and activities. We especially love admiring photos of each others’ pets after busy or difficult weeks.

About Our Clinic:

We serve a diverse population of pregnant people. Langford and the Westshore community is a rapidly growing community of young and diverse families and some of the most affordable housing left in the South Island! We regularly support young/teen parents, IBPOC folks, non-native English speakers, and 2SLGBTQIA+ families. Our office is located within a clinic space that is shared with acupuncturists and pelvic floor physiotherapists whom we routinely refer to. Overhead costs are shared proportionate to how much you work (full or part time) and affordable. We enjoy support from an excellent MOA. Our space includes laundry, parking, a small kitchenette, and everything you need to keep your clinic day running smoothly. 

Our clinic is located in downtown Langford; steps away from several restaurants, coffee shops, a public library, a grocery store, and a gourmet ice cream store. It is accessible (no stairs) and is on a major bus routes.

Who You Are:

A Registered Midwife licensed to work in British Columbia with hospital privileges or New Registrant privileges at Victoria General Hospital. We are hoping to hire either a full time or a part time RM, ideally someone wanting to stay with us long term if it’s a good fit. 

Victoria Midwifery is a growing Department of 45+ midwives, we have Department meetings every other month, and we have an active Signal chat group for home birth back ups and call support. Victoria also has an In House Resource Midwife position to provide in-hospital support for midwives. Victoria has approximately a 10-15% home birth rate, and approximately 10% of our clients plan home births. 

We have a fully booked caseload with a long waitlist of local pregnant people excited to secure midwifery care. We can easily support 6 full-time midwives on the Westshore!
