Job description

Visiting Nurse - Home & Community Care Registered Nurse (RN) / Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) Casual | Flexible Scheduling | Multiple Service Areas

The Care Company is a home healthcare organization dedicated to creating A Better Life for Those at Home .

We support clients of all ages to live safely, independently, and with dignity in their own homes. Our mission is to help people Make Each Day Count by delivering exceptional, person-centred care that puts people first. We are currently seeking compassionate and clinically confident Registered Nurses (RNs) and Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs) to join our Visiting Nursing Team . This role is ideal for nurses who enjoy working independently in the community, managing a varied caseload, and providing skilled nursing care to clients in their homes. Rather than being assigned to one client for an extended shift, Visiting Nurses travel within a designated geographic area to provide scheduled nursing visits based on individual client needs.

Geographic areas include Central (Bradford, Simcoe, East Gwillimbury, Georgina, North York, Markham, Thornhill, Richmond Hill, etc.) and Central East Regions of OH@H (Scarborough, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Peterborough, Haliburton, Kawartha Lakes, etc.). Our Visiting Nurses support clients with a wide range of health needs, including post-hospital care, medication management, wound care, chronic disease management, catheter and ostomy care, enteral feeding, wellness assessments, vital sign monitoring, and other skilled nursing services. Previous experience providing visiting nursing services in the community and/or supporting Ontario Health atHome (formerly HCCSS) clients is a strong asset.

What You'll Do As a Visiting Nurse with The Care Company, you will:

• Complete comprehensive nursing assessments and develop, implement, evaluate, and update individualized plans of care based on client needs, clinical findings, medical orders, and evidence-informed nursing practice.
• Manage a community caseload and, when designated as the primary provider, act as the point-of-care lead while collaborating with other members of the client's healthcare team.
• Provide skilled nursing interventions in clients' homes, which may include wound assessment and treatment, medication administration, injections, catheter care, ostomy care, enteral feeding and G-tube care, oxygen therapy, and other nursing procedures within the nurse's scope of practice and demonstrated competency.
• Administer medications orally, topically, subcutaneously, through enteral routes, or by other authorized routes in accordance with medical orders, CNO standards, and the client's plan of care.
• Assess and monitor vital signs, pain, skin integrity, respiratory status, cognition, mobility, and overall health status and respond appropriately to abnormal findings or changes in condition.
• Provide wound care in accordance with prescribed treatment plans, including wound assessment, dressing changes, monitoring healing, and escalating concerns when required.
• Educate clients and caregivers regarding medications, treatments, disease management, equipment use, symptom monitoring, safety, and strategies for managing care at home.
• Support clients through care transitions by collaborating with hospitals, physicians, Ontario Health atHome, pharmacies, rehabilitation professionals, community agencies, and other members of the interdisciplinary team.
• Identify changes in client needs and communicate concerns promptly to the appropriate Care Coordinator, physician, Clinical Supervisor, or other healthcare provider.
• Maintain accurate and timely electronic documentation, including nursing assessments, progress notes, medication administration, incident reports, and other required clinical records.
• Practice appropriate infection prevention and control, including the proper use and disposal of PPE.
• Independently organize and manage assigned visits while communicating proactively with The Care Company regarding scheduling, client concerns, and changes in care needs.
• Maintain professional, therapeutic relationships with clients and families while delivering compassionate, respectful, and culturally sensitive care.
• Practice in accordance with College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) standards , applicable legislation, and The Care Company's policies and procedures.

What We're Looking For

Our Visiting Nurses must be comfortable working independently in clients' homes while recognizing when additional clinical support or escalation is required. The following are mandatory:

• Active registration and good standing with the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) as an RN or RPN .
• Current CPR and First Aid certification through a recognized training provider.
• Current WHMIS certification .
• Negative TB test meeting The Care Company's onboarding requirements.
• Satisfactory Criminal Record Check with Vulnerable Sector Screening .
• Ability to communicate effectively in English, both verbally and in writing, including completion o
