Lethbridge Medical Clinic jobs

Surgical Centre Manager (Full-Time)

Meadowlark Surgical Centre & Cosmetic Clinic

Meadowlark Surgical Centre & Cosmetic Clinic is Edmonton’s one-stop destination for cosmetic and surgical care. Owned by seven plastic surgeons and supported by a team of approximately 50, we operate three surgical suites across the full continuum of care: pre-operative assessment, surgery and post-operative recovery.

We are hiring a full-time Surgical Centre Manager to lead the day-to-day operation of our surgical facility. This is the person our surgeons, anaesthesia team, nurses and reprocessing team look to for clarity, and the person our shareholders rely on for a clear picture of facility readiness, staffing, compliance and operational performance.

This leadership and operational role combines surgical scheduling, team leadership, facility readiness, equipment and supply oversight, policy management, accreditation support and reporting. You will work independently while collaborating closely with the medical directors, surgeons, anaesthesia providers and surgical team.

The successful candidate will bring calm, reliable leadership to a complex clinical environment. They will anticipate operational risks, follow through on commitments and maintain high standards for patient safety, communication and accountability.

Our Values

You will thrive at Meadowlark Surgical Centre & Cosmetic Clinic if you value:

• Trust - in the service you deliver and the experience you create
• Authenticity - building relationships that are real and results that last
• Simplicity - systems, processes, and conversations that feel easy
• Consistency - showing up professionally, every time
• Connection - with our team, with clients, and within our community

We apply these values across everything we do, from how an operating room is prepared to how a schedule change or safety concern is communicated.

Compliance, safety and accreditation

• Keep WHMIS, SDS, infection prevention and occupational health and safety requirements current and consistently followed.

Reporting and accountability

• Track operational measures such as room utilization, cancelled or delayed cases, overtime, supply costs and recurring facility issues.

Qualifications:

• Exceptional organization and the ability to manage multiple surgical, staffing and facility priorities without losing critical details.
• Strong verbal and written communication, including the confidence to address concerns directly, respectfully and promptly.
• Comfort with digital tools, reporting systems and process improvement.
• Advanced computer skills, including Microsoft Office.
• A consistent record of setting expectations, following through and improving team performance.
