Find A Job

Imagine being part of a journey that helps restore balance, joy, and fulfillment to someone’s life. If your heart is in caregiving, this unique opportunity in Vernon, BC, could be just what you’re looking for.

We are seeking a compassionate, dedicated Care Attendant to work one-on-one with an inspiring woman in her mid-50s who has been living with a cranio-cerebral trauma (brain injury) for several years. She is an individual who thrives on community interaction and outings and now seeks someone to enhance her daily life and provide support that will make a meaningful difference.

Our client is intellectual, speaks multiple languages, and has a deep appreciation for music and the arts. While fluency in English is essential, the ability to converse in German, French, or Spanish would be a tremendous asset (but not required) in connecting with her on a personal level and enriching her day-to-day experiences.

As her Care Attendant, you’ll have the flexibility of part-time shifts during afternoons, evenings, and weekends, accommodating both your availability and her evolving needs and interests. She resides in a care home that provides onsite support by the care aid, nursing and rehab team but allows for an opportunity to hire private support enhancing her individualized care tailored to her own personal needs and desires ranging from assisting with aspects of personal life skills to exploring the arts, music and community events.  It is an exciting time to bring her life back into balance with the things she loves. She does not require personal care, feeding or assistance with mobility. What she does need is someone patient, yet assertive, who can guide her through her occasional moments of agitation and help her manage impulse control and obsessive-compulsive tendencies.

Your role will be diverse, from accompanying her to medical appointments to sharing enjoyable shopping trips, community outings, playing cards and having interesting conversations. The ability to gently redirect her and provide emotional support is crucial, along with a strong understanding of behavior management principles. You’ll work closely with her care team and play an active part in ensuring her overall well-being.

We require someone who is able to foster positive relationships with the client’s care team (residential care team, consultants, medical professionals) and is effective in observing and identifying potential changes in the client’s care needs and providing feedback and recommendations to individuals within the care team.

This isn’t just a job—it’s an opportunity to build a trusting, long-term relationship and friendship with someone who needs you to help her live a fuller, richer life. You’ll not only be a caregiver but also a companion who contributes to her happiness and stability.

What we’re looking for in the ideal candidate:

• Experience or training in working with adults living with brain injuries or other neurodiverse conditions.
• Understanding of behaviour management principles.
• Previous experience in fields like social work, health care, behavioral intervention, mental health, nursing, or some other related field of training for working with someone within the various scopes of neurodiversity including areas such as brain injury, mental health and cognitive impairments would be ideal.
• A patient, compassionate approach, balanced with the confidence to set boundaries and offer guidance.
• Demonstrated patience and compassion with a “doing-with” approach to assistance and care.
• Strong problem-solving and conflict resolution skills with the ability to remain calm in challenging situations.
• The ability to assess situations and diffuse critical incidents.
• Strong communication skills in English. The ability to speak intermediate German, French, or Spanish is an asset.
• Ensure excellent standards of care, health and safety are maintained at all times.
• The flexibility to adapt to her needs while fostering a positive, fun and enjoyable environment.
• First Aid/CPR certification is an asset
• Current Criminal Record Check for Working with Vulnerable Adults is required.

The reward? A competitive wage of $35 per hour and the chance to make a tangible impact on someone’s life, starting immediately.

If you’re ready to take on this rewarding challenge, we would love to hear from you. Please send your resume and A COVER LETTER telling us about yourself and why this role speaks to you, to the attention of Stacey Davidson at [email protected]. Please state “Care Attendant” in the email subject line.

• Enhancing Internal Controls & Compliance: Establish and refine financial policies and procedures, ensuring they meet nonprofit accounting standards and regulatory requirements.
• Delivering Financial Reporting: Prepare and present monthly financial statements and quarterly reports for funders, providing the Executive Director and Board with the insights they need for effective decision-making.
• Leading Audit & Tax Compliance: Guide the organization through annual audits and ensure compliance with all tax filings and regulatory reporting requirements.
• Managing Payroll & Cash Flow: Oversee payroll processing and ensure the organization’s cash flow is managed efficiently, implementing strategies to optimize financial reserves.
• Providing Strategic Financial Guidance: Be the go-to advisor for financial insights, offering strategic advice that supports the organization’s long-term goals.
• Leading and Developing the Finance Team: Supervise and mentor a small accounting team, fostering a collaborative, high-performance environment.
• Mitigating Financial Risks: Identify potential risks and develop strategies to mitigate them, ensuring the organization’s financial security.

What My Client Offers:

• Competitive Salary: $85-120K annually (based on experience)
• Generous Vacation: 3 weeks to start, plus a paid week off at Christmas
• Comprehensive Benefits: Excellent employer-paid extended benefits plan
• Pension Plan: Matching program to support your future
• Professional Development: Ongoing training opportunities
• Perks: Free parking and a Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM schedule
• Work Location: Preference for candidates in Kamloops, BC, but remote work is available for candidates across British Columbia.

What My Client is Looking For:

• Education: A Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field, along with a CPA designation.
• Experience: At least 5 years of progressive experience in financial management, with a strong background in nonprofit and fund accounting.
• Technical Skills: Proficiency in QuickBooks online software and advanced skills in Microsoft Excel. Experience with financial modeling and forecasting is essential.

• Compliance Expertise: A thorough understanding of nonprofit financial regulations, audit processes, and tax requirements.
• Attention to Detail: An exceptional eye for detail and accuracy in financial reporting and documentation.
• Adaptability: The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, managing multiple priorities with ease.
• Team Player: A collaborative spirit, ready to roll up your sleeves and contribute to the organization’s community-focused mission.

 Additional Requirements:

• A clear provincial criminal record check.
• Physical ability to carry out the duties of the position.

Our client is an equal-opportunity employer who celebrates diversity and is committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
