We’re currently hiring for a casual LPN Casting position — join a specialized team where your skills directly support patient recovery and care across orthopaedic, plastics, and minor surgery services!

Reporting to the Patient Care Manager and working under the direction of a Registered Nurse and/or Plastic and Orthopaedic Physician, this role combines hands-on orthopaedic care with holistic nursing support within an interdisciplinary environment. As an LPN Casting, you’ll play an important role in supporting patients through treatment, recovery, and education.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Applying, modifying, and adjusting casts, splints, bandages, and traction equipment.
• Providing wound care and removing sutures, staples, casts, and pins as directed.
• Assessing patients’ needs, implementing care plans, and documenting care.
• Collaborating with the interdisciplinary team, advocating for patients, and supporting care conferences.
• Assisting with orientation of staff/students and providing support to the Minor Surgery Clinic as needed.
• Operating within the framework of Providence Health Care’s mission, vision, and values.

Minimum Nurse-to-Patient Ratios (mNPR) set the minimum number of nurses required to safely care for patients on a given unit. Developed in partnership with the Ministry of Health, the BC Nurses' Union (BCNU), and health organizations across British Columbia, mNPR provides a consistent and transparent approach to staffing that supports safe nursing practice and high-quality patient care. At Providence Health Care (PHC), our approach to implementing mNPR reflects our commitment to person-centred, socially just, compassionate care and our dedication to Indigenous cultural safety.

Guided by our mission and values - Spirituality, Integrity, Stewardship, Trust, Excellence, and Respect - PHC is working collaboratively across all departments to ensure mNPR is thoughtfully adapted to the unique needs of each clinical program and specialty area. This tailored, values-driven implementation aligns with our commitment to compassionate, innovative, and patient-centred care and positions PHC to meet the evolving health needs of our patients, residents, families, and communities.
