Join our team

 

TELUS Health is the leading Canadian virtual care platform; we are reimagining how healthcare can look differently – benefiting both patients and providers. We connect millions of Canadians across the country to our team of kind and knowledgeable primary care providers; through our user-friendly app, our team of Registered Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, and Physicians can help patients get new and refill prescriptions, obtain specialist and lab referrals, and have their health questions answered - 24/7, across the country, in French and English.

 

At the core of our mission is a passion to improve the health experience for patients and providers, leading to better health outcomes for everyone. We wake up every day with a single, simple question: “how can we help more people?” This question has united us more than ever during the COVID-19 pandemic, as we all rallied around this worthy cause. Aiming to put virtual care in the hands of every Canadian, we help employees stay healthy and keep them performing at their best.

 

Like the clinical service we deliver, our team culture values kindness, compassion, collaboration, and critical thinking. We’re a tight-knit, supportive team that is connected by our common mission to do good in the world and make a positive, impactful difference in Canadian healthcare.
