Are We The Right Fit For You?

Are you passionate about helping others?

Do you enjoy making a difference in people’s lives?

Do you get excited about being part of a team that believes in lifelong learning and continuous improvement?

We certainly do.

We believe that work should be a place where you can have fun while doing something meaningful.

We’re currently looking for like-minded team members to join our movement, which is to provide the very best care and service to our clients.

We’ve been redefining ourselves and working towards this ideal for over 40 years. And, as times change, we change with them. We don’t claim to be perfect, but we do want to be the best place to work in Prince Edward Island. We try very hard to be there for our clients when they need us and to guide them through the changes in their lives.

But we can’t do it alone. As healthcare becomes more complex, we continually need new ideas and expertise to best serve our team and clients.

If this sounds like you, you may be a great fit for our team!

Why Join Us?

There are lots of great employers out there, and we believe that there is a right place for everyone.

We believe in lifelong learning. We’ve been out in front of, and welcomed, the major evolutions in the profession over the past 40 years. And we are excited about what’s next.

We understand that your time at work is an important part of your life’s journey, so we believe in providing ongoing training and opportunities for you to advance with us and within your profession.

Taking care of those that provide care is important to us. As part of our benefits package, we provide annual fitness membership subsidy and access to mental health support and other counselling, should you ever need it.

We want you to be supported during your entire time with us and beyond, so we provide a competitive benefits package including health, dental and life insurance, drug coverage, and a pension plan that matches up to 4% of your contributions.

Finally, we believe in partnering and supporting other locally owned businesses to build stronger communities so we’ve made arrangements with a few of them to provide you with discounts on things like home heating oil, restaurants and goods and services at local retailers.

How You’ll Spend Your Time…

Like any role, there are, of course, some precise duties that will need to be performed and we’ll tell you all about them.

But there are a few simple things that will determine your success on our team, and your enjoyment in your role.

Quite simply, treat your fellow team members as you would like to be treated.

Our most successful team members will always aim to do what is right, while keeping things simple and predictable. Our team members continuously look for opportunities to improve the clients’ experience. It’s what we believe in.
