Health Care Assistant jobs

Health care assistants help people with daily living: bathing, dressing, eating and moving safely, and they notice the changes worth telling the nurse about.

What a Health Care Assistant needs to join

  • Your BC Care Aide and Community Health Worker Registry number, if you are listed.
  • Photos of your licence or certificate and your ID, from your phone. You can add them after you join.
  • Proof you can work in Canada, added privately to your profile.
  • The days and shifts you can work.
  • An email you check: the sign-in code goes there, and there is no password.

To join you need only your name, email, city, role and when you can work. Everything on this list can wait.

How a Health Care Assistant licence is checked today

Today we check licences on BC regulators' public registers.

Who licenses it in BC

No regulatory college in BC

Health care assistants have no regulatory college in BC. They are listed on the BC Care Aide and Community Health Worker Registry, which is a registry rather than a college, so employers check registry standing themselves.

We record the registry number you give and say that it came from you. The employer confirms your registry standing.
