Smith Creek Village | West Kelowna | Full Time
About You
You're a compassionate and empathetic individual driven to provide the best possible care for the residents you serve. You love building long-term relationships with the people in your care and will go the extra mile for them when the situation calls for it. You're great at communicating instructions in a way that anyone can understand and speaking calmly and friendly, even when the conversation is difficult. You handle complex and stressful situations in stride, as your emotional resilience has given you the ability to remain calm under pressure. You've also learned to be adaptable to changing conditions and consistently plan for your resident's care. People remark that you genuinely care about them and make them feel heard. Your co-workers like you and always want to be on your team. You're also known for your sense of humour and fun-loving spirit. You’ll have graduated from a recognized post-secondary Licensed Practical Nurse program and current registration in good standing with the BCCNM.
About The Role
You’ll be responsible for leading the development, implementation and evaluation of person-centered care and plan development for the residents we serve.

You’ll become an ambassador of Baptist Housing and model our values in all interactions. These positions are a rotation of days and evenings. You'll serve in our Smith Creek Village community and report to the Administrator.
