Medical Office Assistant – Critical Care / Internal Medicine Specialist

An exciting opportunity is available for an experienced, motivated Medical Office Assistant (MOA) to work alongside an energetic and driven Critical Care / Internal Medicine Specialist in a new, single-practitioner specialist practice in Central Nanaimo.

This is not your typical MOA position. You will have the opportunity to be involved from the beginning, helping establish office systems, workflows, and the EMR while shaping a position that can grow alongside the practice.

We are looking for someone who is hard-working, self-motivated, organized, outgoing, and takes genuine pride in their work. The ideal candidate enjoys working independently, takes initiative, and is comfortable being the key administrative support for a busy specialist.

What We Offer

  • Permanent full-time position
  • Starting wage of $28.00/hour
  • Clinical hours of 9:30 AM – 5:30 PM - No Clinic Thursdays
  • Opportunity to work from home for some administrative hours
  • 2 weeks paid vacation
  • Central Nanaimo location
  • On-site parking
  • Opportunity to help develop the role, office systems, workflows, and EMR from the ground up
  • One-on-one working relationship with a motivated Critical Care / Internal Medicine Specialist
  • Professional, positive, and energetic work environment
What We're Looking For The successful candidate will have:
  • Medical Office Assistant training and/or relevant medical office experience
  • Excellent customer service and communication skills
  • Strong time-management and organizational skills
  • A friendly, professional, and outgoing personality
  • The ability to work independently and manage competing priorities
  • Strong initiative and problem-solving skills
  • Excellent attention to detail and follow-through
  • Confidence communicating with patients, physicians, hospitals, and other healthcare offices
  • Ability to maintain professionalism and confidentiality in a specialist medical setting
  • Accuro EMR experience is an asset
  • Previous experience in specialist, internal medicine, or hospital-based healthcare settings is an asset
The Right Fit We are looking for more than someone to simply manage a schedule and answer phones. This position would be an excellent fit for an MOA who is driven, dependable, proactive, and excited by the opportunity to help build an efficient and welcoming specialist practice from its early stages.

If you enjoy taking ownership of your work, creating organized systems, providing exceptional service, and being an important part of a small healthcare team, we would love to hear from you.

Starting wage: $28.00/hour

Please submit your resume along with a brief introduction outlining your MOA experience and why this opportunity interests you.

Pay: From $28.00 per hour
