If you take pride in being compassionate, honest, professional, and safe, consider an exciting and rewarding career at Shannex. Our communities offer more than a place to work – they welcome and celebrate Great People who inspire meaningful connections while Leading the Way to Better Living.
With the anticipation of opening a new building in March 2026, we are searching for a Social Worker to join our Shannex Transitional Health Services Limited team providing transitional care services at West Bedford Transitional Health in West Bedford, Nova Scotia.
Through an innovative partnership with Nova Scotia Health (NSH), Shannex proudly operates the province's first transitional health facility in West Bedford. This facility provides specialized care for NSH patients in the central zone who no longer require hospital care but need additional support and services before safely returning home or to their community.
The Social Worker is integral in supporting the goal of returning to home/community by being engaged in interprofessional collaboration, offering evidence based clinical expertise to inform care plans that fit with patient/family goals, using effective communication strategies, shared decision-making, and mutual support.
The Social Worker focuses on relationships between people and their environments, which are integral to psychosocial, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. Social Workers build upon the strengths of patients/families by focusing on existing coping strategies and problem-solving skills, past successes, and personal resources.
The Social Worker supports a commitment to ongoing quality improvement, continuous exploration and implementation of new approaches, learning, teaching, and mentoring.
