Who We Are

The British Columbia College of Nurses & Midwives (“BCCNM”) is the college empowered under the Health Professions Act to regulate the practice of all licensed practical nurses, nurse practitioners, registered midwives, registered nurses, and registered psychiatric nurses in British Columbia. Regulation helps to protect the public by ensuring that professional care or service received by the public is competent, ethical, and meets the standards that society views as acceptable.

As western Canada’s largest health profession regulator, we believe a diverse and inclusive team enriches our efforts to protect the public. We welcome applications from all who reflect of the communities we serve, and especially encourage Indigenous Peoples and members of equity-seeking groups to apply. We believe diverse perspectives and experiences bring both innovation and better outcomes to the work we do and the decisions we make.

BCCNM’s commitment to Indigenous Specific Anti-Racism

As the largest health regulator in Western Canada, BCCNM has the opportunity to influence the health professionals we regulate, as well as the broader health-care system, to break the cycle of racism, and improve health outcomes for Indigenous Peoples. BCCNM has pledged to become culturally safe and anti-racist, and to support the health professionals we regulate to do the same.

We promise to provide you with rewarding work that challenges you. You will be part of a passionate team contributing to our important mandate of protecting the public. As a member of the team, you can expect to be working in a collaborative, team-based environment, and treated in a respectful and professional manner.

The expected starting base salary for this position is $109,000 - $120,000 annually, depending on a variety of factors including qualifications and experience.

The college takes a total reward approach to compensation. In addition to base salary, the college offers a generous vacation and extended benefits package. As an employee, you receive 100% employer-paid health and dental benefits. And we contribute to B.C.'s Municipal Pension Plan to help you secure your retirement income. To support you in work and life, we provide an employee assistance program and fitness allowance perk. Working with us allows you to enjoy flexible hybrid work. This position is located in Vancouver, but you’ll be able to work remotely up to 3 days a week. Our office is closed for the 11 statutory holidays in B.C. as well as Easter Monday and Boxing Day.

• Ensure that the project remains on track by managing timelines and milestones and resolve any issues that could delay the CRM delivery. Work with the vendor to ensure their sprints are aligned with overall project timelines.
• While the external vendor will manage daily standups and grooming sessions, ensure internal participation in key Agile ceremonies where necessary, such as sprint reviews, retrospectives, and backlog refinement, to maintain alignment with internal objectives.
• Ensure that appropriate documentation for the CRM solution is created and maintained as defined in the project plan. Plan for knowledge transfer sessions with internal teams post-delivery.
• Conduct retrospectives with internal stakeholders to capture lessons learned, identify areas for process improvement, and apply these insights to future sprints.
