Job description
ComForCare Home Care is hiring two full-time caregivers to help seniors and adults live independently in their own homes in Calgary and environs. You will work in clients' homes, follow each client's care plan, and report to a care coordinator who is available to you by phone throughout your shift. This is not a live-in position.
What you will do
• Provide personal care, including bathing, grooming, dressing and toileting, while protecting each client's dignity and privacy.
• Help clients walk, transfer and change position safely, and guide them through prescribed range-of-motion exercises.
• Plan, prepare and serve meals that meet each client's dietary needs, and assist clients who need help eating.
• Give medication reminders as the care plan directs.
• Perform light housekeeping, including laundry, changing linens, tidying and cleaning the kitchen and bathroom.
• Run errands and accompany clients to appointments.
• Provide companionship to clients and respite to their family caregivers.
• Observe and record each client's condition, mood and activities, and report changes or concerns to the care coordinator and the family promptly.
• Follow infection-prevention and safe-work practices on every visit.
What you need
• Secondary (high school) diploma or GED.
• At least 6 months of experience caring for clients in private homes, senior communities or care facilities.
• Fluent English, spoken and written, to communicate with clients, families and the care team and to complete care notes.
• A clear Police Information Check with Vulnerable Sector Search, provided before your start date.
• Reliable transportation to reach clients' homes.
• Physical ability to assist with transfers and mobility using safe techniques.
• Standard First Aid and CPR certification is an asset.
• Legal authorization to work in Canada.
What we offer
• Wage of $21.00 per hour, with overtime and vacation pay as the Alberta Employment Standards Code requires.
• Flexible scheduling that we match to your availability wherever client needs allow.
• Paid orientation and regular, ongoing training.
• Support from a care coordinator at all times, so you are never alone in the field.
• Careful matching with clients you are compatible with.
• Wellness resources and opportunities for advancement.
