**About the Job**:
As a Community Health Worker, you will work as part of a dynamic team of Nurses and LPNs who support Community Clients’ independence and ability to stay at home.

For people with certain health issues, age-related limitations or other disabilities, managing everyday tasks can be challenging. The support that we provide through the Home Support program enables clients to recover or simply remain at home rather than in a hospital or care facility - in many cases our visits can be the highlight of their day If you are looking for an opportunity to do meaningful work while joining a great team, Fernie Health Centre is the place for you.
