Your Opportunity:
We are looking for dependable team members with flexible availability and the ability to respond to short notice shifts to join our casual pool within our Peaceful Sunset unit. Peaceful Sunset is a unique independent living community for the Sisters (Grey Nuns), offering a quieter environment where residents are more independent and require less direct support. HCAs in this unit work independently, making it an excellent fit for confident, self-directed individuals who value meaningful work within a historically rich and community-connected setting. Youville Home is a compassionate continuing care community offering a broad spectrum of services to support its residents, including an on-site nurse practitioner, occupational, physio, and recreation therapy, palliative care, and spiritual support. Our facility also features a chapel, open daily for quiet reflection, and hosts regular services. Covenant Health is deeply embedded in Alberta’s integrated health system. With a legacy spanning over 150 years, we deliver high-quality, innovative services across 19 sites in 13 communities. As one of Canada’s largest Catholic health organizations, Covenant Health is committed to excellence, recognized as one of Alberta’s Top 85 Employers for 2026, and named among the World’s Most Ethical Companies for nine consecutive years.
Description:
The Health Care Aide (HCA) is a regulated health professional who provides direct personal care and health support services to clients across the lifespan, in accordance with their scope of practice, regulatory standards, and government legislation. Functional supervision is provided by a member of the nursing team and may occur directly or indirectly in accordance with client needs, care context, and regulatory standards. Working collaboratively with the interdisciplinary team the HCA provides care in alignment with documented care plans and assigned or delegated tasks, delivering assistance with activities of daily living, monitoring and reporting changes in health status, and supporting the physical, emotional, psychosocial and behavioural well being of clients. HCAs attend to clients¿ comfort, engagement, and safety by recognizing changes in behaviour, responsiveness, participation, or signs of distress, and by promptly sharing observations with the appropriate team member. They play a vital role in promoting comfort, dignity, and continuity of care, and demonstrate flexibility in responding to the needs of clients and the care team. HCAs actively engage in continuous improvement through feedback, self-reflection, and learning opportunities. The role requires initiative, openness to growth, and a strong commitment to professionalism, responsibility, and accountability. This includes intentionally living Covenant¿s values in day-to-day practice and reflecting them in decision-making, client interactions, teamwork, and the overall approach to care.
