Careers
Find your calling in the Compassion family
Let’s weave you into the next chapter of our story. For 30 years, Compassion Home Care has steadily grown to become Newfoundland & Labrador’s largest home-grown home care provider because our workers have continued to provide high quality, in-home care island-wide.
Whether it’s the start of your life in Canada, the beginning of a new career or a transition into the next professional chapter, let’s thread that path together.
We offer competitive pay, union benefits, flexible hours with work/life balance, and in-house training under the guidance of a Registered Nurse.

Rewarding work right at home
Servicing most of the province, we’re entwined in every community. A career in home care keeps the heart of each harbour, town, and city thriving. Homes are full of life and memories, and every time you’re welcomed into one your own heart will feel full.
Flexible hours with the right balance
Every client has their own story – and that’s echoed in their Plan of Care. In order to adapt to these individual care needs, our team has to be flexible and up to any task. That’s why we try to maintain continuity of care, helping you build bonds with clients and balance your own life too.
Always learning something new
From tales told over tea to threading a new quilt, there’s always something new to learn from your clients. Plus, we offer in-house, Registered Nurse designed training that will let you share your caring spirit with even more of your community. Further opportunities come from classes we organise with outside organisations, which can broaden your career and twist it into new directions.
Why a career in Home Care?
Because a well-lived life requires work. You’ll learn so much in the process: new recipes you’ll find delicious. Stories spun from every golden frame on the patterned wall. Blankets that once wrapped babies now left to be patched, trinkets telling tall tales now need dusting.
We’re a unique bunch here in Newfoundland & Labrador. With an aging population, home care has regularly been identified as one of the most crucial growth sectors in the coming years as we grow and adjust to changing times.
With more specialised training and benefits than ever before, becoming a home care worker offers a chance to establish a career of meaningful work, contribute to your community, and fulfil a highly in-demand role with plenty of opportunities.

– Satisfactory code of conduct including a vulnerable sectors check
– Immunization record for MMR, TB. COVID vaccination is strongly encouraged.
– 3 references, 1 of which should be work related.

If you are interested in a career with Compassion but lack some of the above requirements, or are in the process of obtaining them but have yet to do so, please reach out to us. We can chat through things and see if there’s anything we can do to help you.
Training certificates are crucial pieces of documentation for us. With photos, there is a decline in picture quality when they get sent back and forth. In order to ensure accurate documentation, we instead will accept a clear scanned image in a PDF format. Further, the letter of conduct and Vulnerable Sector Check must be brought to the hiring office as we must check the validity of the document. This is a provincial requirement, directly from NL Health Services.
At Compassion Home Care, we hold ourselves to a high standard. We’ve been in business for over 30 years and have achieved the highest levels of accreditation in our industry. We know that takes effort – and it takes the right people. With courses and training by Registered Nurses, we offer a thorough education on helping you care for clients.
That being said, we are always striving to get better, especially as the demand for quality home care arises. Feel free to reach out to us.
No – we have a government approved, in-house training program designed and administered by Registered Nurses. So besides the requirements listed above, we can train you to become a member of the Compassion team.
That being said, prior home care experience or a completed certification or course is considered an asset during the application and vetting process.
