Reporting to the Care Manager, you will be scheduled to work shifts in both Designated Supportive Living (Type B) units, Enhanced Care Unit (ECU) or the Transition Care Unit (TCU).

The ECU is a dynamic environment that is designed to meet the needs of individuals who present with a combination of dementia syndrome and complex behavioral issues. If you are a Health Care Aide (HCA) who likes variety and thrives on giving client and family-centered care within an interdisciplinary healthcare team, this position will appeal to you.

Duties include assisting clients with activities of daily living, personal care, lifting and transferring, and assisting with health care tasks/procedures as necessary. In addition to a competitive rate of pay, AHS currently has a Remote Retention Allowance in place to an annual maximum of $3,000. This allowance is non-pensionable and is payable on an hourly basis for all hours paid at the basic rate of pay.
Description:

Working under the supervision of a regulated health professional, you will assist in maintaining a safe environment for patients, staff, and visitors, while supporting effective communication with patients and health care professionals.
