Description
Currently seeking interested applicants for our casual Medical Communications Officer positions to be short-listed for the next available Entry to Practice training offered through the Ministry of Health. Qualified candidates will be interviewed for future spots in this training and subsequent Medical Communications Officer positions.
Performing the responsibilities of a Medical Communications Officer requires a dynamic individual. Incumbents must use professionalism and interpersonal communication skills, and understand spatial concepts (e.g. reading maps, calculating times, distance and movement) to excel in a fast-paced and demanding environment.
Medical Communications Officers (also known as call takers and dispatchers) must have strong coping skills and be able to solve problems and work effectively both independently and as part of a team.
Processing 9-1-1 emergency and non-emergency requests for ambulance and fire services requires the ability to work rotating shifts in a 24/7 environment.

We cannot make any promises, but we will consider your qualifications and the potential you bring.
