Healthcare Workforce Solutions for Rural & Northern Communities
Struggling to Find Qualified
Healthcare Professionals?
We help healthcare organizations in rural and northern communities hire permanent, part-time or rotational pre-vetted professionals — and support them every step of the way.
The Challenge You Already Know Too Well
-
You’re short on nurses, support staff, and allied health professionals
-
The local talent pool is exhausted
-
Staffing agencies are expensive and unsustainable
- The candidates you do get aren’t the right fit, causing disruptions instead of solutions.
-
Overtime and burnout are impacting your existing team
-
And even when someone is ready to relocate… housing is nearly impossible to find
Sound familiar? That’s where we come in.
The Blue Branch Approach: Long-Term, Not Short-Term
We help rural and northern healthcare organizations reliably hire and relocate professionals into the hard-to-fill roles you need.
Our candidates are:
-
Qualified and credentialed (RNs, RPNs, PSWs, HCAs, and more)
-
Pre-vetted for rural readiness
-
Willing to relocate permanently to your community
-
Fully supported by us throughout onboarding and integration
And yes — we work within your existing hiring practices, policies, and CBAs.
Housing is Half the Battle –
We’ve Got It Covered!
We understand housing is one of the biggest barriers to recruitment in rural and remote areas. That’s why every candidate comes with:
-
Full relocation support and housing coordination
-
Help securing rentals, shared accommodation, or temporary housing near your facility
-
Pre-screening for rural lifestyle readiness – we prioritize candidates who want to live and work in smaller communities
-
Community onboarding – we help candidates not just relocate, but settle and stay
“We don’t just bring talent in – we help them build a life in your community.”

Relocating Talent to Communities Most In Need
At Blue Branch, we specialize in Labour Mobility, helping you connect with healthcare professionals across Canada – including internationally educated healthcare professionals. Many of these individuals are currently underemployed or working outside their field in major city centres, despite being highly qualified. Through our strategic MOUs with partner organizations, we identify skilled professionals ready to relocate to high-need areas. We help them transition into roles in rural, remote, and northern communities where their expertise can make a real difference.
