Compass Rose Care
Priddis
Compass Rose Care is a "boots-on-the-ground", registered nurse-led private home care company serving Calgary and the surrounding area. We are in an active growth phase and building a team that reflects our high standard of care: clinically informed, professionally grounded, and genuinely invested in the people we serve.

What We Are Looking For
We are looking for someone who brings genuine skilled maturity to their work. That means good instincts, sound judgment, and the self-awareness to know the difference between what you can handle independently and when to pick up the phone.

Care, "that’s not my job" is not something we say. Neither is "it’s not in the care plan so I can’t."
