Health Care Aide (Registered Only) HCA

Job description:

Health Care Aide (HCA) – Private Home Care

Enhance Home Health | Edmonton, AB

Casual Positions | With the Potential of Growing into Part-Time & Full-Time Positions

About Enhance Home Health

$22.00–$25.00/hour, based on experience and availability

Enhance Home Health is a new and growing private home-care provider in Edmonton. We provide premium, personalized, relationship-based care designed around each client's individual needs, preferences, and lifestyle.

Our approach is simple:

Fewer rushed interactions, greater continuity of care, and a higher standard of service.

We are currently building our team of compassionate, professional Health Care Aides (HCAs) who want to be part of that growth.

A Transparent Look at the Opportunity

We want applicants to know exactly where we are today.

As a new business building our clientele, many of our current HCA opportunities are casual, and hours may initially be limited or fluctuate based on client demand.

For this reason, these roles are particularly well suited to HCAs who already have employment, school, family commitments, or another source of income and are looking to supplement their income with additional private home-care shifts. We do not offer sleep shifts.

Casual staffing, however, is not our long-term model.

As our client base grows and consistent care schedules are established, we intend to offer:

• Guaranteed-hour positions
• Permanent part-time positions
• Permanent full-time positions

We are looking for great people now who are interested in the opportunity to grow with Enhance Home Health as our business expands. Future positions will depend on client demand, scheduling needs, qualifications, availability, and suitability for individual client assignments.

The Role

As an HCA with Enhance Home Health, you will provide personalized care and support in clients' homes, helping them maintain their independence, dignity, safety, and quality of life.

This is more than completing care tasks. We are looking for caregivers who understand the importance of professionalism, discretion, emotional intelligence, attention to detail, and building trusted relationships.

Observation & Clinical Support

• Observe and report changes in mobility, skin condition, cognition, behaviour, or overall well-being

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for HCAs who are:

• Compassionate, dependable, and professional
• Excellent communicators
• Comfortable working independently in clients' homes
• Attentive to detail
• Respectful of privacy and confidentiality
• Emotionally intelligent and able to build genuine rapport
• Committed to providing an exceptional client experience

Candidates must also be physically capable of performing the essential duties of the position, including assisting with mobility and transfers and lifting/supporting up to 23 kg (50 lbs) when required.

Why Join Enhance Home Health?

This is an opportunity to join a new organization at an early stage and grow with us.

While hours may initially fluctuate, our goal is to build a strong, stable care team as our clientele expands. For the right HCAs, that means the potential to progress from casual work into guaranteed hours, permanent part-time, or permanent full-time employment as positions become available.

You'll also benefit from:

• Competitive compensation
• Flexible scheduling
• Consistent client assignments where possible
• A lower-volume, relationship-focused care model
• Meaningful one-on-one time with clients
• A professional and supportive work environment
• Opportunities for continued learning and development

Apply

Please submit your resume, CLHA directory number and relevant certifications for consideration. Selected candidates will be contacted for further screening and an interview.
