Maxwell Management Group Ltd. is proud to partner with the North West College in search of a
Psychiatric Nursing Instructor and Clinical Lead (Y2) to join their team.
About:
North West College is a leading regional post-secondary institution serving communities across northwestern Saskatchewan. With campuses in North Battleford and Meadow Lake, and programming delivered throughout rural and First Nations communities, the College is committed to expanding access to high-quality education and workforce development opportunities across the region.
