Update on April 17, 2018:\u00a0Thank you to everyone who has sent their application to the College.\u00a0 Members are still able to apply for the assessor positions, but as we have received a large volume of applications, members applying after today\u2019s date may not be considered for the initial round of hiring and training. All applications received will be kept on file for future opportunities.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

The College is recruiting midwives to work as assessors who will conduct peer and practice assessments.<\/p>\n

Assessors are registered midwives with the knowledge and expertise to evaluate whether a practicing midwife is meeting an acceptable standard of care and working within the legislation and regulations that govern their profession. Assessors also apply their knowledge to provide peer support to members during the assessment process.<\/p>\n

We are planning to hire a pool of assessors that reflect the profession, and so midwives from rural areas, urban areas, large practices, small practices, and midwives who are French speaking are all encouraged to apply.<\/p>\n

What is involved<\/u><\/h4>\n

Assessments include pre-assessment preparation, a review of the midwife\u2019s practice, and a written report.<\/p>\n

The time commitment will depend on the type of assessment, but most will be completed in less than one day. Some assessments will require travel to midwifery practices and other assessments will be conducted remotely, using computer technology.<\/p>\n

All assessors must be willing to make a commitment to a schedule of initial and ongoing training. Selected assessors must also be willing to pilot the new assessment tools.<\/p>\n

Assessors are independent contractors and not employees.<\/p>\n
