With a population of almost 32,000 people, the charming city of Stratford, Ontario is big enough that you’ll never have any difficulty with finding something to do, and small enough that it feels more like a close-knit town. The city has the lovely Avon River running through it, and swans can regularly be seen floating on the water, creating ample opportunity for great photography. And the Stratford Festival takes place annually, giving you the opportunity to see some incredible shows and performances on-stage.
Most importantly, however, our client in Stratford has recently submitted a request to RPI Consulting Group for a registered nurse (RN), for a full-time opportunity that is available immediately.
