The Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre is currently looking to fill approximately 47 job openings as it works to maintain care for over 245,000 residents in Northwestern Ontario. These vacancies span a variety of clinical and administrative roles, including nursing, healthcare professionals like social workers and technicians, and administrative and support services.
The local hospital is recruiting during a challenging period for the healthcare sector. According to the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario, the province is experiencing a nursing shortage where more than half of vacant registered nurse postings remain unfilled for at least 90 days — nearly twice the rate across all occupations in Ontario. This adds pressure to the local labour market in Thunder Bay, which has seen record-high employment levels and one of the lowest unemployment rates in the province.
As the regional facility prepares for the 2027 completion of a new 76,000-square-foot cardiovascular wing, it is emphasizing its work environment to attract new staff. The hospital offers comprehensive benefits and the Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan. Officials also highlight a commitment to inclusive hiring, with explicit encouragement for Indigenous applicants and persons with disabilities to apply.
Interested individuals can view current openings and submit applications through the hospital’s e-recruitment system. For further information, the human resources department is located at 980 Oliver Road and can be reached at 807-684-6218.
