You'll work with a team of amazing healthcare professionals every day. You'll join them to listen, then serve, guide and heal, because health means everything to our patients we serve.

Here are some ways you'll serve patients:

• Interact with patients to promote comfort, express compassion and empathy as they heal
• Critical monitoring, like obtaining blood pressure, temperature, pulse, respiratory rate and glucose checks – so we can better assess their health
• Transport them to appointments and procedures – to get them the right care at the right time
• Walking – It's one of the most important things we can do for them- and you get to help them do it safely
• Assist with ADLs (activities of daily living) – these are things we often take for granted that patients may be unable to, or need help doing, themselves. ADLs include bathing, brushing teeth, toileting, feeding and more.

Qualifications :

• We'd prefer that you've already completed a Nursing Assistant training course but we're happy to provide training to those with a passion to serve
• Some healthcare experience is preferred but not required
