Your role with clients

CBI is looking for a full-time PSW to work in the "You Care at Home" Program for day or afternoon shifts and to cover every second weekend.
This is an intensive, 18-week program of home and community care that creates a direct pathway from hospital to home for patients who have completed their acute care length of stay, wish to go home and require a more complex plan of care to safely transition home.

As a caring, responsible healthcare team member, you will support clients to be as safe and independent in their homes as possible, helping them to live their best lives. You will provide personal care to clients in their homes and may assist them to mobilize and perform light exercises. You will act at all times with the client and their family at the heart of all you do, observing, documenting, and reporting any changes in their condition to your Manager/Supervisor. You may be required to perform light housekeeping tasks as indicated in client care plans.
