Job Description

Do you believe that every senior deserves to live with dignity, purpose, and joy? AgeCare is seeking a Resident-Centered Health Care Aide to join our dedicated Calgary team. We aren’t just a care facility; we are a community that feels like home. If you have the “grit” to handle a physically demanding clinical schedule and the “wit” to brighten a resident’s day through genuine connection, you belong at AgeCare.

In this role, you are much more than a caregiver; you are a companion and a vital link in the healthcare chain. You understand that “resident-centered” means listening to a resident’s preferences and respecting their life story while providing expert physical support. Whether you are assisting with a morning routine or encouraging someone to join a favorite music program, your goal is to foster a sense of belonging and security. We look for “Integrity-first” professionals who treat every resident as they would their own family.

Joining AgeCare means joining a supportive team that values your growth and well-being. We offer competitive pay, a comprehensive benefits package, and a culture where your voice is heard. We provide a workplace where you can build deep, meaningful relationships and see the direct impact of your care every single day. If you are a certified HCA who is “obsessively passionate” about senior care and ready to grow your career in a dynamic environment, we invite you to apply.
