Fill a vital role in the province
We are seeking an individual who is interested in an opportunity to serve the community in this unique position. Under the Direction of the Regional Coroner, you will work as an “as-and-when-required with no designated term date” medico-legal investigator. You must have a degree or diploma in a health, legal or social sciences field and have five years experience in a related field.

This position functions on a rotating on-call basis, and the successful applicant must reside in Powell River or surrounding areas and be available to respond to calls on a 24/7 basis while on-call.

Notes of the preliminary findings will be entered into a database and details forwarded to staff in the regional office who will undertake any necessary follow-up investigation.
This position is not open to current provincial government employees, current civilian employees of any police force or health authority, or anyone in a position which may create potential conflict of interest or perception of bias or interfere with the impartiality of your role. This is not a salaried position and is not an appointment under the Public Service Act.
