Your Opportunity:
Join Our Life-Saving Team at Canada’s largest VAD implant center! We’re seeking a passionate and skilled Clinical Perfusionist to be a key player in the exciting world of cardiopulmonary support where cutting-edge technologies and life-saving care come together. You’ll have a critical role in preparing, managing, and executing cardiopulmonary bypass and advanced support modalities for patients of all ages. In this dynamic role, you will deliver life-saving cardiopulmonary support, including extracorporeal life support (ECLS) and long-term ventricular assist device (VAD) management. You’ll also be at the forefront of innovative therapies like intra-aortic balloon pumps, autologous blood processing, and transplant organ circulatory support - all within the Clinical Perfusion scope. What sets us apart? We perform both Adult and Pediatric Cardiac Surgeries in one Cardiac Centre – the only one of its kind in Canada! We pride ourselves on hybrid operating room technology and a team of trained ECMO specialists, allowing our perfusionists to focus fully on patient care. As a teaching facility, we offer opportunity to engage in research, backed by a supportive environment. What’s in it for you? These casual opportunities provide a competitive pay rate along with the flexibility and work-life balance you desire. Why Edmonton? Whether you're into sports, food, culture, or outdoor adventures, this city has something for you. On your days off, explore the iconic Rocky Mountains for hiking, skiing, or unwinding. Nature lovers can enjoy our many parks and river valley trails. With our low taxes, your hard-earned dollars go further. You’ll find plenty of options to settle into a community that suits you - a modern downtown condo or a quiet suburban home. If you’re ready to work with a team that’s making history, while enjoying their quality of life, apply today!
