General Duty Nurse

The Manitoba government recognizes the importance of building an exemplary public service reflective of the citizens it serves, where diverse abilities, backgrounds, cultures, identities, languages and perspectives drives a high standard of service and innovation. The Manitoba government supports equitable employment practices and promotes representation of designated groups (women, Indigenous people, persons with disabilities, visible minorities).

Employment Equity is a factor in selection for this competition. Consideration will be given to Indigenous people, visible minorities and persons with disabilities.

An eligibility list may be created for similar positions and will remain in effect for 12 months.

Licensed Practical Nurses may be considered at the rate of: $28.98 to $33.45 hourly. Registered Nurse may be considered at the rate of: $35.55 to $41.92 hourly. Relocation Assistance of up to $5,000 is available for eligible nurses willing to relocate to Manitoba to work. More information is available on the Nurses Recruitment and Retention Fund website.

This unique opportunity will be of interest to a dynamic and broadly-experienced nurse who would like to become a member of a professional medical unit that provides assessment and treatment to clients within a correctional environment.

We offer a competitive salary in addition to overtime. We have a substantial benefits package which includes extended health, health spending, dental, vision, long term disability, supportive employment, maternity and parental leave, and a defined pension plan (pension plan has a reciprocal transfer agreement which provides portability of accrued pension benefits and service between the Civil Service Superannuation Board and eligible employers). You may also qualify for additional education and relocation assistance from the Nurses Recruitment and Retention Fund.

Milner Ridge Correctional Centre (MRCC) is located in the Agassiz Provincial Forest, southeast of Lac du Bonnet. It is a minimum and medium security facility that has recently been expanded to accommodate medium security adult males.

MRCC is currently searching for Registered Nurse's (RN), Registered Psychiatric Nurse's (RPN) or Licensed Practical Nurse's (LPN) to work on a full-time, regular basis. Candidates are asked to consider the following before applying; work schedule includes days, evenings and weekends. This environment is highly autonomous and requires nursing staff to work independently and in consultation with the on-call physician. The successful candidate will have the ability to make critical decisions, utilize standards of practice, policy and procedure as well as access resources while working alone. This is a challenging, fast paced environment providing a unique experience not seen in traditional nursing roles.
