CommunityPlus is BC's only private Living Wage home care employer. We're locally owned, based in Metchosin, with 50+ experienced caregivers and nurses across Vancouver Island.
Before You Apply
This work demands real reliability and conscience. If you don't genuinely love caregiving, don't apply. We weed out roughly half of new hires within their first three months, so save us both the time.
Two hard requirements before we'll consider you: you must currently live on Vancouver Island, and you must have a BC Care Aide Registry number or a strong skilled caregiving background (dementia care, safe patient handling, medication administration). No exceptions on either.
Compensation and Benefits
We pay $26/hr for caregivers, $41.20/hr for LPNs, and $53/hr for RNs, plus shift premiums of $4 to $8/hr. Benefits include excellent health and dental coverage that escalates with years of service, up to 6 weeks of paid time off with bonus PTO for health and pensioners, and regular group events. Full details are on our compensation page.
Retention and Reliability
New hires have roughly a 50% chance of being dismissed in the first three months. Employees who make it past one year have a 90%+ retention rate. That's by design. Pruning unreliable people quickly means clients, caregivers, and coordinators all deal with fewer short-notice absences and less last-minute scrambling. The people who stay are the ones who show up.
Hiring Requirements
To apply, you'll need to have or provide:
- Completion of a certified caregiving course or equivalent experience
