Locum RM​/Potential position

Overview

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 a small, tightly knit, and deeply collaborative maternity care group of midwives and GP's, serving the Sea to Sky corridor. We are passionate about rural maternity, home birth, and family-centered care.

As a locum, you would be working on a team with two other midwives 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 attends 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.

Squamish is a rural community. We work closely with GP-surgeons, locum OBGYNs, and family physicians and our 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.

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, surgical first assist, and Induction of Labour within scope are assets, but not required.

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 breadth and scope of midwifery, Squamish has a lot to offer.
