We operate structured homes with consistent teams, strong leadership, and high standards of care. Our focus is on providing safe, stable, and well-supported care for children and youth who require more than basic supervision. We are also a young, growing company with a close-knit team culture. We take the work seriously, but we also believe the home environment should feel warm, positive, and human. We want staff who care about doing meaningful work, enjoy being part of a team, and want to grow with a company that is building something special.About This RoleThis role is within a specialized residential care home for a child/youth who requires a high level of structure, medical awareness, emotional regulation support, and consistent daily care.The child/youth supported in this home may require support with:Structured daily routinesEmotional regulationPersonal careToileting and hygiene routinesFeeding-related routinesTube feeding related routines, if included in the care planMedication administrationHealth monitoringCommunication supportSensory needsBehavioural support during periods of distressDetailed documentation and shift reportingThis role is well suited for someone with a Health Care Assistant background, complex care experience, pediatric care experience, or strong child and youth support experience with comfort around medical routines. We are looking for staff who can stay calm, follow instructions carefully, notice small changes in presentation, and work as part of a consistent team. The right person understands that behaviour is communication. They are able to stay regulated under pressure, notice early signs of discomfort or distress, and support the child/youth with patience, dignity, and consistency.Medical Routines and Delegated CareThis role may involve medical routines such as feeding-related care, medication routines, health monitoring, and other delegated care tasks as outlined in the child/youth's care plan. Some routines may involve enteral or tube feeding related support, feeding equipment, flushing, placement checks, or other feeding safety steps if these are part of the approved care plan. All medical routines will be completed only with appropriate training, oversight, authorization, and competency sign-off.Any delegated health tasks must be taught, documented, and signed off by the appropriate regulated clinical professional before staff perform them independently.

or delegated health tasks is a strong asset.
