Winnipeg, Canada WRHA Community Health Services Full time

Position Overview

The Home Care Program supports care at home by providing services to enable clients and their families to remain as independent as possible in meeting their identified needs. The appropriate service provider is assigned to meet care needs which would normally, but can no longer be met by family or self.

The skills of the Rehabilitation Assistant (RA) are used where the client situation is stable and predictable and the RA has been trained in the skill required to perform the tasks. Specifically, the RA is responsible to assist the client through the provision of personal care, (as per Case Coordinator care plan), rehabilitation care (under the direction/supervision of a Speech-Language Pathologist, Occupational Therapist, and/or Physiotherapist) and limited home support services. The RA may be assigned more complex personal care and therapeutic interventions when he/she has been trained in the specific procedures.

Performs direct client care activities that are identified in the care plan, delegated and supervised by the therapist(s) responsible for the care of the client(s). Performs direct client care activities that are identified in the care plan by the Case Coordinator and scheduled by the Resource Coordinator. Performs indirect client care activities and non-client care assignments that are requested by the therapists and scheduled by the Resource Coordinator.

The Community Stroke Care Service (CSCS) is a centralized Home Care service that provides short-term home-based case management and rehabilitation for adults who have had a recent stroke. The goal of the program is to facilitate early supported discharge from hospital for people with stroke by providing home-based rehabilitation to help transition back into the community. The CSCS team includes Case Coordinators, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Rehabilitation Assistants, Resource Coordinator, Social Work, and Speech and Language Pathologists. The CSCS team works together with individuals and family to help people with stroke participate in home and community activities with increased confidence and independence. Once a person no longer requires CSCS, they may be referred to other out-patient or community services, transferred to a local home care office for ongoing services or it may be determined that no further rehabilitation or Home Care support services are required.

As a team member of the Community Stroke Care Service, the Rehabilitation Assistant (RA) will assist people with basic personal care and home support where indicated. In addition, the RA will carry out rehabilitation programs as developed, delegated/assigned and supervised by a Speech Language Pathologist, Physiotherapist and/or Occupational Therapist to address client goals and restorative/rehabilitation care needs.

Experience

Recent and related direct client care experience in Home Care and/or a Health care setting is preferred.
