About the role

Personal Support Workers are the heart of home healthcare.

At Stay at Home Nursing, our Personal Support Workers help people live safely, comfortably, and with dignity in their own homes. We are building a stronger future for homecare — one where PSWs are respected professionals with real career growth, fair compensation, and genuine support.

If you are a PSW who wants meaningful work, a team that has your back, and a career — not just a shift — we want to meet you.

About Stay at Home Nursing

Stay at Home Nursing is a rapidly growing home healthcare organization — one of Southern Ontario's most trusted homecare providers.

  • Founded in 2017
  • 250+ caregivers and nurses delivering over a quarter of a million hours of care annually
  • Serving Hamilton, Niagara, Brantford, Haldimand, and surrounding communities across Southern Ontario
  • Accredited with Commendation
  • Fully prequalified with Ontario Health atHome at the highest level for Personal Support Services and for Nursing

Our caregivers are the foundation of everything we do. We believe caregivers need care too — and we invest in creating a workplace where Personal Support Workers feel valued, supported, and proud of the work they do.

What You'll Do

As a Personal Support Worker (PSW), you will provide one-to-one care to clients in their homes across Hamilton, Niagara, Brantford, and Haldimand — supporting their health, comfort, and independence every day.

  • Provide personal care and hygiene assistance
  • Support mobility, transfers, and safe movement — including mechanical lifts
  • Assist with activities of daily living (ADLs) including dressing, grooming, and toileting
  • Prepare nutritious meals and assist with feeding when required
  • Provide companionship, conversation, and emotional support
  • Monitor client wellbeing and report changes in condition to the care team
  • Follow individualized care plans and document care activities accurately
  • Support clients with light household tasks related to their care
  • Accompany clients during outings or appointments when required

Every visit is different. The goal is always the same: helping clients live well at home.

What the Work Actually Feels Like

This role matters — and it's also real work. Here's what to expect:

  • You will travel between client homes within your local community in Hamilton, Niagara, Brantford, or Haldimand
  • You will provide one-to-one home care in clients' private residences — working independently with the support of a professional care team
  • Schedules include days, evenings, weekends, and overnights depending on your availability and client needs
  • Mileage is paid for all travel between clients during your shift
  • Many of our PSWs tell us the most rewarding part of this role is the meaningful relationships they build with clients and families

We know homecare is demanding. That's exactly why we focus on building an environment where Personal Support Workers feel supported — not left to figure it out alone.

About Stay at Home Nursing Care Services

201-500

At Stay at Home Nursing, we help individuals and families deal with ageing, chronic conditions, and medical recovery — all from the comfort of their own homes.

We understand that each healthcare journey is deeply personal, and there's no place safer, more dignified, personalized or comfortable as our own home.

Our mission to provide this level of comprehensive healthcare at home begins with carefully matching clients with optimal caregivers, and guiding families through the complexities of the healthcare system.​​

And this vital role of homecare in our healthcare system can only thrive when our caregivers experience their own personal growth and learning. With continual education, development, and certification, we ensure that caregiving is a rewarding career opportunity rather than a temporary job.

In turn, we must provide fair and equitable compensation for the valuable skills and certifications our caregivers possess. Our dynamic compensation structure ensures that caregivers are financially rewarded for their dedication and expertise in this challenging profession.​​ We combine this with community and support for our caregivers to prevent burnout and maintain their passion for making a positive impact on our clients' lives.​​

So join us in making a difference! Become part of the home team and contribute to providing exceptional care and support to our clients throughout Southern Ontario.
