Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre
There’s an opening for a full-time Patient Care Assistant at Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie, Ontario. It’s a hospital role, so it’s all in person — no remote option. You’ll be helping patients day-to-day, working alongside nurses and support staff. It’s a mix of physical work and emotional support. Some patients need help moving around, eating, dressing, that kind of thing. You might be in different units depending on the shift, but the goal is to make patients more comfortable and support their recovery. You do need to have completed a Personal Support Worker program, and CPR (Basic Life Support) is also required, though you can get that within 3 months after starting. If you’ve worked in a hospital or care setting before, that helps — but it’s not required. Being calm, alert, and kind is more important than experience sometimes.
