• Support specialist referrals based on clinical directives, including preparing referral documentation and required forms.
• Assign referrals to appropriate specialist clinics based on patient location, clinical need, and specialty.
• Redirect referrals when clinics are unresponsive or decline them.

• A Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN).
• Current registration and good standing with a Canadian provincial or territorial nursing college.

• Strong clinical judgment and confidence reviewing lab results and specialist documentation.
• Comfort working independently in a remote, technology-enabled environment.
• Proficiency using Mac devices and learning new digital tools quickly.
• Excellent English communication skills, written and verbal.
• Bilingual proficiency in French is a significant asset, but not required.
