Position Summary
We are currently seeking Community Health Workers to join our team in Revelstoke, BC. Are you dedicated to delivering patient-centered care? Are you looking for a flexible work schedule? If the answer is 'yes' then we want to hear from you!
As a Community Health Worker, you will work as part of a dynamic team of Nurses and LPNs who support Community Clients’ independence and ability to stay at home. Community Health Workers provide home support services to clients, by assisting with personal care and daily living, while promoting maximum independence. Community Health Workers are key players in the home health care plan for each client.
Typical duties include:
• Activities of daily personal care, such as bathing, dressing, grooming and oral hygiene

• Meal preparation in accordance with designated plans

We currently have MULTIPLE PERMANENT PART TIME opportunities. We have one permanent part-time (0.73 FTE) with rotating evenings and shift times from 13:30 to 22:00 and another permanent part-time (0.60 FTE) with rotating evenings and shift times from 15:00 to 22:00.
The successful applicant of a permanent posting will be eligible for our full comprehensive benefits plan including medical and dental coverage, group life and disability insurance, paid sick and vacation time and an excellent pension! For people with certain health issues, age-related limitations or other disabilities, managing everyday tasks can be challenging. The support that we provide through the Home Support program enables clients to recover or simply remain at home rather than in a hospital or care facility – in many cases our visits can be the highlight of their day!
If you are looking for an opportunity to do meaningful work while joining a great team, Revelstoke Home Support is the place for you. Apply today!
