Rural Career Opportunities in Southcentral Alaska

By Southcentral Foundation Corporate Communications

Join a dedicated health care team, like the one featured above at McGrath Regional Health Center, and start your next adventure in rural Alaska.

Have you ever dreamed of working in a health care setting in some of the most beautiful places in Alaska? Can you imagine having access to fishing, hunting, hiking, and boating from your back door? Southcentral Foundation has rewarding career opportunities that allow you to live and work close to nature while making a lasting difference in your community.

These positions range from entry level, skilled, and specialty positions at health care clinics across Alaska. Some job categories offer training opportunities while others require skilled experience.

SCF offers paid training through the Community Health Aide Trainee/Practitioner Program in partnership with the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium. Successful completion of the program can lead to a lifelong, rewarding career at SCF. The Community Health Aide Trainee/Practitioner Program was designed exclusively to expand services in rural clinics to include acute, chronic, emergency, and preventive care. Community health aides work under the direction of providers in Anchorage. Job opportunities in rural clinics also include advanced practice providers (nurse practitioner or physician’s assistant) registered nurse case manager, behavioral health aide, and case management support.

“A rural Alaskan clinic isn’t just where health care happens – it’s where community voices are heard, relationships are built, and lives are improved,” SCF Administrator of Valley and Villages Group Brandy Gallagher shared.

In addition to working with an award-winning health care team and being a part of a tight-knit community, SCF offers amazing benefits including relocation support, additional paid time off, sign-on bonuses, and differential pay depending on the position. SCF also offers scholarships, academic leave, and more.

If you have been considering working in a rural community, now is a great time to work within the SCF Rural Anchorage Service Unit – with clinics spanning from St. Paul to Chitina.
