What advice would you give someone who wants to work for your organization?

Apply with good intention… commitment, demonstrate your ability to care for people.  Each ‘housekeeping’ position can grow into more (support work, meal preparation, companion care).  This all depends on the employee.  Do they love their clients, do they care about their clients’ well-being? How do they show that they take pride in their work?

What do you look for in a new employee?

Personality is the biggest key for us. We can teach product knowledge and industry knowledge but you cannot teach the right personality. We look for candidates that understand the customer experience and acknowledge customers have a choice where they shop. We want the customer feeling they were valued by walking through our doors.

What advice would you give someone who wants to work for your organization?

A lot of our best hires have come from someone being a customer first. They know what our team delivers in customer experience and they want to be a part of delivering that same level of experience. We suggest interested candidates get to know our store, get to know our business, and see if it is the right fit for them.

What do we look for in a new employee?

We look for people that are either Registered Care Aides, LPNs, RNs, as well as experienced caregivers and companions. Certification is important, but so is life experience. If someone has a passion for working with seniors and/or vulnerable individuals, or if you are a retired nurse, but want to remain in the field, we are interested in you.

We are looking for those individuals that can take on the responsibilities of working on their own, but within a team. We require people with excellent organizational and problem-solving skills, a good portion of common sense and can think on their feet. We value honest, friendly, kind and warm-hearted individuals with a strong work ethic.

Check out our website, www.nursenextdoor.com and after learning about our culture you can navigate to our particular franchise Qualicum/Courtenay/Campbell River.  Learn why we are different from other in-home care companies. Also, take time to understand why you have chosen to work with seniors and other vulnerable individuals whom require assistance to stay in their own homes and then tell us. We also require our staff to have smart phones. We recently implemented a system where our employees use their phones to do their client reporting on our apps. We embrace paperless technology.
