Tillsonburg’s main hospital is hiring again, posting two new clinical jobs this week even as the community absorbs the loss of 27 personal support worker positions earlier this year. Rural Roads Health Services, the organization that runs Tillsonburg District Memorial Hospital, is looking for a cardiac technician and a registered nurse to work in town.
The openings appeared on the national Job Bank within days of each other. A registered nurse position, paying $41.15 to $58.98 an hour, was listed on July 16. Two days later, the hospital posted a cardiac technician role offering $32.59 to $37.26 an hour. Both are full-time, onsite jobs in Tillsonburg.
The hiring push reflects a broader shift in how the hospital delivers care. In April, Tillsonburg District Memorial Hospital laid off 27 personal support workers from its acute care unit, saying patients now need more complex care that requires a registered nurse’s level of assessment and clinical skill. The move was part of a wider trend across southwestern Ontario, with St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital also cutting 26 PSW roles at the same time.
Rural Roads Health Services was officially created on April 1, 2026, through the merger of Tillsonburg District Memorial Hospital and Alexandra Hospital Ingersoll. The new organization published its first annual report on July 6, providing an overview of its initial months of operation. The 2025-2026 Annual Report is available on its website.
As of mid-July, Glassdoor listed 32 open positions for Rural Roads Health Services in Tillsonburg, suggesting the hospital is in a sustained recruitment phase. Job seekers can find the postings directly on Job Bank.
