About the Role:

The Book Off team will be a regularly scheduled group of PSWs who will be deployed to cover patients left without a care provider due to Book Off’s and illnesses.  The role will not provide regular scheduled vacation coverage.  Employees will be required to drive in the Waterloo-Wellington region comprising of Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge & Guelph.

Process:

Book Off employees will not be assigned a regular patient caseload schedule.  Book Off employees will receive their schedule as soon as the Book Off coordinator is aware of a book off.  This could be as early as the evening before or the day of in the morning (by 7am, earlier if possible). The process will be they simply inherit the schedule of the employee that booked Off. Any assigned\trained\delegated tasks may need to be assigned to an already trained employee. If PSWs complete the book offs prior to end of shift they will be assigned additional work.

What's in it for you: 

• Direct care rate only
• Mileage reimbursement at current PSS rate
• Will work a full shift (i.e. 7-3, 2-10 etc.).  

Minimum Requirements:

• Must have a car and be okay with travelling all over Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, and Guelph and rural areas
• Must be PSW certified (and have experience) or an experienced HSW
• Must be able to work available schedule
• Cannot have any limitations in terms of clients they can see
