Combined Laboratory / X-Ray Technologist I

Your Opportunity:

Two disciplines. One rewarding rural career. You have trained in both Laboratory and Diagnostic Imaging. Why choose between them when you can practice both every day? At the Elk Point Healthcare Centre, being a Combined Laboratory and X-Ray Technologist (CLXT) truly means working to your full scope of practice.

At a rural site like Elk Point, your expertise is valued, your contributions are visible, and your role has a direct impact on patient care. You will gain diverse hands-on experience, build confidence, and play an essential role in supporting rural healthcare services in the community. Beyond the workplace, the town of Elk Point is a true nature lover’s paradise with a welcoming small-town lifestyle. It has a strong sense of community, affordable living, and access to Alberta's beautiful Lakeland region. It is an ideal place for those who value the outdoors, community connection and work-life balance. If you became a CLXT because you wanted the variety and challenge of practicing in both Laboratory and Diagnostic Imaging, Elk Point gives you the opportunity to do just that. Join our Team and make a meaningful impact in rural healthcare. This vacancy is eligible for the Recruitment Incentive.
