  • Maintaining accurate, timely medical records and clear handovers between shifts
  • Communicating empathetically with owners, explaining findings, options, and expected outcomes
Package:
  • High base salary with an additional production structure rewarding emergency caseload
  • Flexible rota centered around 10-12 shifts per month with extended periods of consecutive days off
  • Medical, dental, and vision cover with access to tax-advantaged spending or savings accounts

  • Generous paid time off combining vacation, personal days, and sick leave
  • Continuing education support with paid CE days and funding for courses or conferences
