Tri-Cities, BC | 4–8 hours/week | $22–$28/hour

We are looking for a warm, mature and dependable person to provide companionship and practical household support to an independent older woman living in the Tri-Cities.
This is not primarily a personal-care position. We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with older adults and would like to develop a consistent, long-term relationship with one person.

The ideal person will be comfortable moving naturally between helping around the home, spending time together and accompanying her to activities and outings in the community.

The Role

Responsibilities will include: Light housekeeping and general tidying

Laundry and changing bedding
Grocery shopping and occasional errands
Accompanying her to appointments
Driving/accompanying her to recreational activities, including snooker
Gardening together and assisting with light garden activities
Coffee, lunch and other social outings
Occasional meal preparation
Conversation and companionship
Supporting familiar routines, activities and interests

Our goal is to provide a little extra support while helping her remain active, socially engaged and as independent as possible.

Who We're Looking For

You are warm, patient, trustworthy and reliable. You enjoy conversation and spending time with older adults and are equally comfortable helping with laundry, heading to the garden, going shopping or accompanying someone on an outing.
Experience supporting older adults is preferred.
Experience or education as an HCA, home-support worker, nurse, recreation-therapy worker, occupational-therapy assistant or similar role would be an asset, but the right personality, maturity and reliability are equally important.
Retired or semi-retired health-care and community-care professionals are very welcome to apply.




Requirements
Excellent recent references
Criminal record/vulnerable-sector screening
Valid driver's licence and safe driving record
Reliable vehicle suitable for transporting an older adult
Appropriate automobile insurance
Legally entitled to work in Canada
Comfortable with light housekeeping and laundry
Dependable availability for consistent weekly visits
First Aid/CPR preferred

Hours & Compensation

Approximately 4–8 hours per week, ideally on a consistent weekday schedule. Hours may be divided between one or two visits depending on availability and activities planned.
There may be an opportunity for additional hours over time.
$22–$28/hour, depending on experience, qualifications and the scope of support provided.

Continuity is very important to us. We hope to find someone interested in becoming a trusted, long-term companion and household support, rather than someone simply looking to fill occasional shifts.

To Apply

Please send a brief introduction outlining: Your experience working with older adults

Why this particular position interests you
Your general weekday availability
Whether you have your own reliable vehicle and are comfortable driving to appointments and activities
Your experience with housekeeping, laundry and meal preparation
Any HCA, nursing, recreation, dementia-care or related education or experience

How long you hope to remain in a part-time position

Please do not send sensitive identification documents with your initial application. References, credentials and screening documentation will be requested from shortlisted candidates.
