For most positions, a system generated email confirming your application was submitted will be emailed to you. Check your spam/junk folders. Due to a high volume of applications, we are unable to provide individual application status updates online or over the phone. Thank you in advance for your patience and please know the recruiter(s) and hiring leader(s) are reviewing applications. Once a status update is available, you will receive an email advising you whether or not you were selected to be moved forward in the process.

Our pay structure follows market pricing and is reflective of labor market conditions. This ensures we can offer competitive levels of pay to attract and retain talented employees. Pay rates for positions can be discussed during the interview process. We are unable to provide pay rates before the interview process because more detailed evaluation of related experiences, education and competencies is required before a comprehensive compensation analysis can be completed.

• Standard full-time is 1.0 FTE with 40 hours/week and 0.9 FTE working three 12 hour shifts/week.
• Part-Time roles are typically 0.5 FTE with 20 hours/week but less than 1.0 FTE or 0.9 FTE (three 12 hour shifts).

Casual roles have an FTE of 0.0. An employee in a casual position works on an as-needed basis. They may cover staffing vacancies due to leaves of absence, illnesses, holidays and any other condition that requires additional staffing. Casual positions may not have a set schedule or guaranteed hours. They are not eligible for benefits.

This is sometimes also called a “pool” position. It’s similar to “as needed,” but has specific minimum shift/schedule requirements. PRN roles are not eligible for benefits.

If a position is listed as a .5 FTE (20 hours/week) or greater, it is benefits-eligible.

• Turn off your cell phone. You don’t want to be distracted by a call or text.
• Practice some interview questions with a friend. They’ll let you know if you’re giving long-winded answers, or not giving enough information. Their feedback can help you get it right when it matters most.

• Be sure to smile and make eye contact. You want it to be evident that you are happy and enthusiastic about the interview. We would expect that you greet our patients, families, clients and members in this way too.
• If you are participating in a video interview, be sure to follow a similar process to an in-person interview.
• Remember to keep things positive. The interviewer is evaluating you as a potential co-worker.
• Maintain good eye contact during the interview. Avoiding eye contact may lead your interviewer to think you are not interested in the job.
• Avoid using “umm,” “like” and “you know” when answering interview questions. Pause for a few seconds and gather your thoughts before you respond.
