Registered Nurse - Continuing Care

Your Opportunity:

Edson is a town that offers it all - an affordable housing market, all the amenities you need (big names as well as family owned), and is situated in a perfect location with only a two hour drive to Jasper National Park to the west and Edmonton to the east, allowing you to fully take advantage of the work-life balance working in Northern Alberta offers! Here in Edson, you'll find a community that is friendly, engaged, and looking to offer the best to its residents. You can enjoy your time at the leisure centre, outdoor arenas, numerous campgrounds or spend time with your four-legged family member at the dog park or walking trails along the McLeod River. You can get out and meet new people at the many community events that take place year round, and perhaps even sample some of the best farm-fresh treats this region has to offer. As a Registered Nurse, whether a new graduate or experienced, you will have the opportunity to grow or expand your skillset here with us, collaborating with compassionate and skilled healthcare professionals of diverse backgrounds. The Edson Continuing Care Centre is bright, supportive and offers a progressive working environment, embracing resident-focused care through our interdisciplinary team approach.
