Health Care Aide - Home Care

Your Opportunity

The amazing Home Care team in St. Paul has an opening for a Health Care Aide (HCA). This role is critical to Home Care as you provide care and build relationships with your clients. Your critical thinking skills will be utilized as you are the person who will need to notice changes in your clients and if additional care is required.

You will work to the full capacity of an HCA and grow your skills as you work independently and become an advocate for the client. You are a compassionate and empathetic individual as you work in this interesting, challenging, and continually changing field with some complex patients who require your support. The Health Care Aide functions as a member of the team providing healthcare services for clients and family members in their home environment.

St. Paul is an active community with lots to offer with multiple recreation facilities and 14 lakes with numerous campgrounds nearby. Located within Alberta’s Lake country on the traditional lands of Treaty 6 and the beautiful lands of the Metis, St. Paul was founded in 1896 as a Metis colony. St. Paul is along the Iron Horse Trail that has been adapted for hiking, biking, horseback riding, quadding, or snowmobiling.

If trails aren't for you, you can now find all the essential amenities, a variety of recreational options including sports, arts, and social groups, and enjoy outdoor playground right in your backyard. There are English or French K‑12 schools, while Portage College and Blue Quills University offer local post‑secondary options. Whatever your life stage, or interests, you can grow and thrive in St. Paul.

Rural Alberta is beautiful, peaceful, and provides a great backdrop for a fulfilling career. If nothing feels better than making a difference in the lives of families in your own community, this could be the opportunity for you.

As a Health Care Aide (HCA), you will work as a collaborative member of the multi‑disciplinary team providing personal assistance including supporting activities of daily living and support services to patients (clients, residents) who require short‑term assistance or ongoing support, in accordance with the patient care plan and facility policies and procedures. In this position you will work closely with patients, families, and caregivers spanning the continuum of care in home, community or health care facilities assisting nurses with the provision of routine care to meet patients' hygiene, nutrition, mobility, recreation and safety needs, assisting with organized activities or programs and observing and reporting on a patient's mood, health, and wellbeing.

Working under a regulated health professional you will be assisting in the maintenance of a safe environment for patients, staff and visitors, and maintaining effective communication with patients and health professionals.
