Your Opportunity:
Nursing practice takes a Resident-first approach when working with the senior population, focusing on the whole person through advocacy as well as nurturing residents’ identity, integrity, security, growth and joy. Supported by the care manager, the Long Term Care Coordinator will collaborate with Health Care Aides as well as other Licensed Practical Nurses on shift, supporting both as a secondary role to their primary one of administrative tasks. In addition, the Coordinator will also work with the healthcare team consisting of Physicians, Occupational/Physical therapists, Speech Language Pathologists, and other healthcare professionals as needed to promote better outcomes for our residents. The community of High Level, Alberta, located eight hours north of Edmonton and three hours from the border of the Northwest Territories offers a variety of local activities and unique opportunities to experience a part of Alberta and Canada that many do not get to experience. The summertime boasts nearly 24 hours of daylight and the wintertime, while colder than our southern neighbors, offers spectacular Northern Lights and numerous winter activities. As a Long Term Care Coordinator, you will be responsible for leading weekly rounds with healthcare professionals, as well as daily handover with nursing staff. You will also conduct various audits, completing reports, admission and discharge paperwork, in addition to the completion for interRAI (Resident Assessment Instrument), the interdisciplinary instrument that contributes to individualized treatment, targeted nursing care, as well as monitoring the quality of service to continue to improve our residents’ quality of life while in a continuing care home.
