Continuing Care Assistant - Casual (External)





Job Summary:

The Continuing Care Assistant (CCA) is an essential member of the interdisciplinary team, providing respectful, person-centered care to seniors living in a supportive housing environment. Under the direction of a Registered Nurse and in collaboration with the care team, the CCA supports older adults with daily living activities, personal care, and wellness needs in alignment with individualized care plans.

Using a trauma-informed, harm reduction, and strength-based approach, the CCA helps seniors maintain dignity, independence, and quality of life. Responsibilities include assistance with hygiene, mobility, basic cleaning, meal preparation, and life skills support. The CCA also plays a critical role in implementing care plans developed with input from the residents, nurse, and social worker, and may be required to respond to overdoses and administer naloxone as per established protocols. All care is delivered in accordance with organizational policies and the principles of Housing First and inclusive aging.

Education and Experience:

  • Completion of a recognized Continuing Care Assistant (CCA) program is required.
  • Current certification and registration with the Nova Scotia CCA Registry is mandatory.
  • Valid First Aid and CPR certification is required.
  • Additional training in harm reduction, trauma-informed care, dementia care, and non-violent crisis intervention is considered an asset.
  • Minimum of 1–2 years of experience working with seniors, preferably in community, supportive housing, or long-term care settings.
  • Experience supporting individuals with complex health and social needs—including substance use, chronic illness, cognitive decline, and social isolation—is an asset.
  • Familiarity with Housing First and strength-based care models preferred.
