Want to do nursing differently?
At Vytality at Home, our purpose is simple:
Creating Exceptional Experiences.
For our clients.
For their families.
For our caregivers.
And for the people who choose to build their careers with us.
We are looking for an exceptional Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or Registered Nurse (RN) to join our leadership team as Care Manager.
This is a unique opportunity for an experienced nurse who loves seniors, understands the complexities families face as care needs change, and wants the opportunity to make an impact far beyond a traditional clinical role.
You will build relationships.
You will solve problems.
You will help families navigate difficult moments.
You will coach and develop caregivers.
You will advocate for clients.
You will help people navigate Alberta's health-care system.
And you will play an important role in helping us continually raise the bar for what exceptional home care can look like.
If you are looking for a role where your experience, judgment, ideas and leadership genuinely matter, we would love to meet you.
About Vytality at Home
Vytality at Home is a locally owned and operated Calgary home care company founded in 2018.
We help seniors remain safely and comfortably where they most want to be: at home.
Our clients and families trust us during some of the most important and sometimes most difficult chapters of their lives. We take that responsibility seriously.
Our values are:
Compassion. Respect. Integrity. Innovation. Care.
We are growing, evolving and continually looking for better ways to support seniors and their families.
We are looking for someone who wants to be part of that.
The Opportunity
As our Care Manager, you will have a significant amount of autonomy and responsibility for the clinical experience of our clients and families.
You will work closely with Vytality's Co-Founders and Co-Presidents, our internal team, caregivers, clients, families and community health-care partners.
This is not a desk-only position.
It is a relationship-driven, community-based leadership role for someone who enjoys variety, can confidently move between clinical care and people leadership, and is comfortable making decisions.
No two days will look exactly the same.
One moment you may be completing an assessment with a new client and their family.
The next you may be helping a family navigate Alberta Health Services, supporting a caregiver through a change in condition, developing a complex care plan, coaching a team member, or helping coordinate care for someone approaching end of life.
What You'll Do
Create exceptional client and family experiences
- Conduct comprehensive client assessments and reassessments.
- Develop highly individualized care plans based on each client's medical, cognitive, functional and personal needs.
- Build trusted relationships with clients and families.
- Act as a key resource when care needs change or situations become more complex.
- Help clients and families understand and navigate available healthcare and community resources.
- Coordinate with other health-care professionals to support continuity of care.
- Help prospective clients and families understand their options and determine whether Vytality is the right fit for their needs.
- Work closely with the HR Manager to manage schedules for clients and caregivers using our matching process.
Lead, coach and support caregivers
Our caregivers are at the heart of the client experience.
You will:
- Mentor, coach and support caregivers.
- Provide hands-on education and training.
- Help caregivers understand complex care plans and changing client needs.
- Support caregivers working with clients living with dementia, chronic illness, complex medical conditions or palliative needs.
- Partner with our Scheduling and HR teams to help ensure the right caregivers are matched with the right clients.
- Help develop caregiver confidence and clinical competency.
- Step into difficult situations with calm, clarity and leadership.
Navigate complexity
You will often be the person families and team members turn to when the answer isn't obvious.
We need someone who can:
- Assess a situation quickly.
- Make sound clinical decisions.
You should be comfortable working independently while also knowing when collaboration is required.
Help us continually get better
We don't believe exceptional care happens by accident.
You will work with our leadership and internal teams to:
- Strengthen care processes and standards.
- Identify opportunities for improvement.
- Maintain accurate and timely client documentation.
- Support regulatory and internal compliance.
- Contribute ideas, challenge existing processes when appropriate and help turn good ideas into better practices.
- Use technology effectively to keep clients, families and team members informed and connected.
The Nurse We're Looking For - Clinical experience matters. But how you lead matters just as much.
We're looking for someone who is:
A strong clinician.
You are confident assessing seniors and recognizing changes in medical, cognitive and functional needs.
A relationship builder.
Families trust you. Caregivers seek your guidance. You know how to communicate with empathy without avoiding difficult conversations.
A leader.
You set expectations, coach others and hold people accountable while still making them feel supported.
A problem solver.
When something doesn't go according to plan, you don't freeze or wait for someone else to figure it out.
Organized.
You can manage multiple clients, priorities, conversations and follow-ups without losing sight of important details.
Comfortable with autonomy.
You enjoy being trusted to use your judgment and take ownership.
Tech comfortable.
You can confidently work within Microsoft 365 and learn client-care, scheduling and communication platforms.
Passionate about seniors and families.
You understand that behind every care plan is a person and a family placing enormous trust in us.
Minimum Qualifications
We want to be transparent about what this role requires. Applicants must meet all of the following to be considered:
- Current registration and good standing as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or Registered Nurse (RN) in Alberta.
- Professional experience working with seniors and geriatric clients.
- Demonstrated dementia and Alzheimer's care experience.
- Demonstrated palliative and end-of-life care experience.
- Experience working within Alberta's health-care system, with strong knowledge of health-system navigation and available resources.
- Experience developing, implementing and managing individualized care plans.
- Minimum two years of leadership or managerial experience.
- Minimum three years of local driving experience.

- Reliable personal vehicle and ability to travel throughout Calgary and surrounding communities.
Experience That Would Make You Stand Out
We would be especially interested in candidates with experience in:
- Home care, case management or community nursing.
- Dementia programs, palliative care or complex care.
- Alberta Health Services or another Alberta health-care environment.
- Client-Directed Home Care.
- Cognitive or functional assessments.
- Caregiver education and clinical training.
- Leading multidisciplinary or caregiving teams.
- Learning new systems including scheduling software, CRMs, and MS Office.

A Note About Flexibility
Home care happens outside the walls of an office.
This position includes travelling to clients throughout Calgary and surrounding communities and requires flexibility when client or caregiver needs arise.
This role includes overnight on-call, one week in three. Our office supports clients from 6am to 10pm daily, so overnight calls are infrequent. On-call weeks are paid on top of your salary and we provide a monthly phone allowance. You will also step in to provide direct client care or hands-on caregiver training when required.
If you are looking for a predictable role where every day follows the same schedule, this likely won't be the right fit.
If you like variety, autonomy, people and solving meaningful problems, it might be exactly what you've been looking for.
Why Vytality?
Because we believe work should mean something.
You'll have the opportunity to:
- Build genuine relationships with clients and families.
- Make meaningful decisions that directly affect quality of care.
- Develop and mentor caregivers.
- Work closely with the founders and leadership team.
- Influence how we deliver care as we continue to grow.
- Bring forward ideas and actually see them implemented.
- Help seniors remain safely and comfortably in their own homes.
And while we take the work very seriously, we don't believe that means we need to take ourselves seriously every minute of the day.
We like smart people.
Kind people.
People who follow through.
People who speak up.
People who care.
And people who want to leave things better than they found them.
