Re:                  New Position at Menno Place:  Health Care Support Worker

---

Menno Place is pleased to announce that we have been approved for 18 Health Care Support Worker (HCSW) full time positions fully funded by the Government of British Columbia’s Health Career Access Program (HCAP).  This program was developed in response to the urgent staffing needs across long-term care and assisted living sectors in BC.

Menno Place has received approval for 8 candidates for Menno Home, 6 candidates for Menno Hospital and 4 candidates for Menno Apartments – Assisted Living.

The HCAP program works like a co-op – successful candidates work at the site and go to school for the HCA program at the same time.  This is a temporary position when, once completed, the person graduates with their HCA certification.

The HCAP education and training program will take approximately 12-18 months to complete. Start date to be determined early 2021.   It provides an opportunity for individuals to receive paid employer-sponsored training leading to a HCA credential.  The candidate must make a 12 month commitment to the employer to work as a HCA at the site once they have graduated from the program.
