Your Opportunity:
Grow your career as a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) while enjoying the balance and quality of life that rural Alberta offers. Based at the Bonnyville Community Health Services Site, this multi-site role spans both Bonnyville Community Health Services and the Bonnyville Healthcare Centre.

Your strong communication and interpersonal skills will help you build lasting relationships with clients, families, and colleagues in a close-knit community. Rural Alberta provides a peaceful, fulfilling lifestyle, and Bonnyville - located on the traditional lands of Treaty 6 and the Métis - embodies this through its welcoming atmosphere and natural beauty. Known as “Multi-Natural,” the town celebrates its diverse cultural heritage and rich natural resources. Surrounded by lakes and boreal forest, with Cold Lake and Moose Lake nearby, it offers year-round outdoor recreation alongside excellent health, education, recreation, and cultural services. With a lower cost of living and slower pace than larger centres, Bonnyville is an ideal place to live, work, and make a difference while enjoying a strong sense of community.
