Experienced Caregiver / Home Support Worker — Morinville

Temporary Weekday Coverage | Potential Ongoing Relief Opportunities

Faith & Serenity Care Group is a locally owned, faith-based home care agency providing compassionate, non-clinical support that helps adults remain safe and comfortable in their own homes.

Our Christian values of compassion, dignity, service and integrity guide our work. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds who share our commitment to respectful, person-centred care.

We are recruiting an experienced caregiver for temporary weekday coverage with an established client in Morinville, Alberta. Applicants must have practical experience providing personal care and supporting adults with significant mobility limitations.

Assignment and schedule

This assignment involves hands-on assistance with personal care, mobility and daily living routines in a private home.

- Weekday daytime visits, generally Monday to Friday.
- The client’s current service allocation is approximately 120 hours per month, shared among assigned caregivers as needed.
- Individual visits and weekly hours vary with the confirmed care schedule.
- Applicants must provide their specific daytime availability and earliest start date.

This is a temporary coverage opportunity. The assignment’s duration is currently uncertain. Confirmed shifts and employment terms will be discussed before acceptance. Permanent placement and a fixed number of ongoing weekly hours are not guaranteed.

Additional relief assignments may become available based on client needs, qualifications and caregiver availability.

- Meal preparation and meal support.
- Safety supervision, fall prevention and companionship.
- Light housekeeping related to the client’s immediate care needs.
- Accurate visit documentation and arrival/departure records.

Client safety and continuity of care are essential. Caregivers must:

- Arrive on time and remain for the scheduled visit unless management approves a change.
- Remain available to respond to the client’s care needs.
- Follow agency rules on personal phone use, smoking and breaks.
- Never leave the client without the supervision or support required by the care plan.
