Job Summary
The Caregiver position at Casa Dolce Casa is a “Mobile Community Support” role covering the Hamilton and Niagara Region. This role requires the “wit” to manage independent shifts across multiple home environments and the “grit” to provide consistent personal care, meal preparation, and emotional support. You are a “Mobile Health Advocate,” ensuring that seniors in the Golden Horseshoe can age with dignity by following structured care plans while traveling to where the need is greatest.
Job Details
Employer: Casa Dolce Casa.
Service Area: Hamilton and Niagara Region, Ontario.
Status: Full-time (Traveling required).
Salary: $18.00 per hour.
Requirements: Police background check; legally entitled to work in Canada.
Assets: Driver’s license and car; PSW Certificate; CPR/First Aid.
Key Responsibilities: The “Mobile Care” Cycle
You act as a critical link in the home care chain, providing essential services that prevent social isolation and physical decline.
Personal Care & Hygiene: Assist with bathing, grooming, and dressing, ensuring the client’s physical comfort and self-esteem are maintained.
Mobility & Transfers: Provide hands-on assistance with moving and transferring, utilizing safe techniques to prevent falls and injuries.
Nutritional Support: Prepare healthy meals and assist with feeding when required, ensuring the client’s dietary needs are met.
Domestic Maintenance: Perform light housekeeping to ensure the home remains a safe and sanitary environment for the client.
Clinical Observation: Monitor and report any changes in the client’s health or well-being to ensure timely medical or family intervention.
Emotional Companionship: Build a trusting relationship with the client, providing the conversation and support needed for mental health.
Candidate Profile & Qualifications
The “Reliable Traveler”: Someone who is comfortable with a “Home Care” model that requires commuting between different client locations in the Niagara/Hamilton area.
Compassionate Wit: Excellent communication skills in English to accurately document health changes and engage with diverse client personalities.
Dependable Grit: A patient and professional demeanor, with the ability to follow safety protocols and care plans without direct on-site supervision.
Qualified Professional: While experience is preferred, holding a PSW (Personal Support Worker) certificate is a significant asset for career advancement within the team.
Technical Insights: Home Care Safety & Ergonomics
Working in private homes requires a high level of “Situational Awareness” and specialized physical techniques.
Safe Patient Handling: You must be proficient in “Pivot Transfers” and the use of gait belts. In a home setting, you often work in tighter spaces than a hospital, requiring precise body mechanics to protect your back.
Environmental Risk Assessment: On every visit, you perform a “Slips, Trips, and Falls” audit—checking for loose rugs, poor lighting, or cluttered pathways that pose a danger to seniors.
Infection Control: In a mobile role, “Hand Hygiene” and the proper use of gloves are your primary tools to prevent cross-contamination between different households.
Reporting Protocols: Understanding “Baseline Health.” You must know a client’s “normal” (e.g., skin color, clarity of speech, appetite) to recognize and report early signs of issues like UTIs or dehydration.
