Full job description

Pilgrims Hospice Society (PHS) is a registered charity that provides supportive and compassionate family-centered care to enhance the quality and dignity of life for those diagnosed with a progressive, life-limiting illness as well as support to those who are grieving the death of a loved one, from any cause.

JOB DESCRIPTION

The Health Care Aide (HCA) is member of the Residential Care team, supporting the overall provision of the care of residents. The HCA is responsible for providing direct care to assist the residents with their activities of daily living, the comfort and safety of residents, as well as indirect services to support the overall care philosophy of PHS. These services are provided under the supervision of the RN or LPN. The type of supervision (direct or indirect) will depend on the complexity of the task or procedure being assigned, the stability of the resident and the skill of the HCA.

All Staff are encouraged to proactively identify and practice their best methods of ensuring self-care to ensure they are equipped to manage through difficult times.
