This is a part time role and is not expected to exceed 20 hours of work per week. It is ideal for individuals seeking a position with flexible hours that can provide experience in health and patient care, along with supplemental income during off-work hours.
Hours are flexible and can be adjusted upon negotiation, though we have a strong preference for individuals who are available at fixed times each week.

Wednesday from 8am-10am, and 6:30pm-9:30pm
Thursday from 8am-10am, and 6:30pm-9:30 p.m.
Though we have a slight preference for individuals with current or future careers in healthcare (e.g. nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, social work, pre-medicine, special education), no PCA or healthcare experience is needed. Patience and a willingness to learn are the key qualifications. Students welcome.
