Your Opportunity:

Are you tired of the long commute and traffic and looking for a simpler and quieter way of life? An exciting opportunity as a Health Care Aide (HCA) awaits you in Hinton! Alberta Health Services (AHS) needs a caring individual who is passionate about helping others. This key role has a massive impact on the well-being of our patients by delivering safe, quality patient and family-centered care. You will provide personal care by supporting activities of daily living, assisting in patient assessments and procedures, offering comfort measures to patients and their families, portering, as well as simple charting in patients’ records.

The town of Hinton in Northwest Alberta, with its stunning view of the Rockies, is located about 284 km west of Edmonton - close enough to visit friends and family on the weekends and holidays! You are also only 15 minutes from Jasper National Park and an hour from the Town of Jasper – perfect for that after-work or day trip! Besides the national park, you can also take in the natural beauty of one of the provincial parks just minutes away. In town, you’ll find public and Catholic K-12 schools offering instruction in English and French and arts, sports, cultural, and social activities across a wide spectrum. Here, you can truly get to know your neighbours and community, making Hinton a perfect place to call home.
