Skills and Abilities

Ability to provide respectful, person-centred personal care.
Ability to establish and maintain professional, supportive relationships with residents.
Understanding of trauma-informed practice, cultural safety, consent, dignity, and professional boundaries.
Ability to recognize and report changes in a resident’s physical, behavioural, cognitive, or emotional condition.
Strong verbal and written communication skills.
Ability to document and relay information clearly, accurately, and concisely.
Ability to work independently with limited supervision and cooperatively as part of a team.

The role requires emotional patience, adaptability, sound judgment, professional boundaries, and the ability to treat all individuals with dignity and respect.

Resident Care Aides may be required to respond to unexpected health, behavioural, or safety concerns and must be able to communicate relevant information promptly to supervisors, emergency services, health-care providers, or other members of the support team.

The position involves regular standing, walking, bending, reaching, assisting with resident mobility, completing household tasks, and moving personal-care or program supplies. Applicants must be physically capable of performing the required duties safely and consistently.

Applicants must be available to work a varied schedule, which may include weekdays, evenings, and weekends.

Additional Information

This position is connected to a new facility that remains under development.

Any adjustments will be made in accordance with the applicable collective agreement, employment standards legislation, and Cedar Strong policies.
