Health Care Aide – McQueen Home Edmonton (part-time)

Are you passionate about working with Albertans with disabilities and supporting your local community? Do you have what it takes to champion our Vision to Inspire Potential, Build Community and Enrich Lives?

Easter Seals Alberta is a provincial not-for-profit organization that has been in existence for over 70 years. Our mission is to provide services that foster inclusion, independence and recreation for individuals with disabilities and medical conditions. We strive to ensure that the resources Albertans need for an independent and full life are available.

Easter Seals fosters a work environment that is inclusive as well as diverse, where our people can be themselves. Every idea and perspective is valued to reflect the people we serve.

Easter Seals Alberta’s McQueen Home is located in Edmonton, AB. It is a specialized nine-bedroom home for physically disabled adults who require physical and mental health support. Due to their high medical needs, these individuals would be unable to live independently without support. They are able to connect and actively participate in their community, including volunteering, attending courses, working part-time, and spending time with family and friends. Like any home, residents dine together, watch hockey, play board games, provide input on their home, and enjoy many summer barbecues.
