Health Care Workers Needed

We are asking healthcare workers not currently in the workforce to help their communities by filling positions in long-term care facilities to address staffing shortages caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing vacancies.

Long-term care facilities are recruiting people with needed skills and training who are retired or not currently working in the sector, as well as those who are working on a part-time basis and can move to full-time hours on a temporary basis.

Temporary, short-term and long-term paid positions are available now.

If you or someone you know is interested, please share this post or go to Continuing Care Recruitment.

We Need Your Help. Healthcare workers are needed in Long-Term Care.
