Personal Support Worker and home care positions across Canada — one of the most accessible and rewarding entry points to healthcare.
Personal Support Workers (PSWs) and home care workers are in critical demand across Canada. With an aging population and government investment in community-based care, PSW positions are abundant, accessible, and increasingly well-compensated.
Long-term care homes, retirement residences, home care agencies (SE Health, Bayshore, CarePartners), hospitals, and community health centres.
PSW certificate programs take 6–8 months at a community college. No previous healthcare experience required. Ontario offers a $3/hr wage enhancement for home care PSWs.
