Health Services Nurse

Important messages

All job applications must be submitted through the www.jobs.gc.ca system.

It is the responsibility of the candidate to clearly outline within their application that they meet each of the screening criteria (i.e. Education and Experience Qualifications, both Essential and Assets). For example, one approach is to use each screening qualification as a heading, and provide a description outlining how that qualification is met. Please note that it is not sufficient to only state that the requirement is met or to provide a listing of current responsibilities, rather the candidate must provide concrete examples that illustrate how they meet the requirement. Failure to do so could result in the application being rejected from the process.

For this selection process, our intention is to communicate with applicants by e-mail for screening/assessment purposes (including issuing screening results, and sending invitations for written tests and interviews). Applicants who apply to this selection process must include in their application a valid e-mail address and make sure that this address is functional at all times and accepts messages from unknown users.

Intent of the process

The immediate need is to staff one position on an indeterminate basis, with a linguistic profile of Bilingual Imperative (BBC/BBC) and an RCMP Reliability security clearance.
