Who We Hire

At Thrive Group organizations, workplace culture matters. We believe that providing our employees with a supportive, healthy work environment means better quality service for our clients. Many Thrive Group employees describe what they do as “more than just a job”. Teams work collaboratively to enhance the lives of the people we serve and that creates a strong sense of satisfaction and pride.

For the past two years, Thrive Group has been certified as a GREAT WORKPLACE after a thorough and independent analysis conducted by Great Place to Work® Canada. This certification is based on direct feedback from employees, provided as part of an extensive and anonymous survey about the workplace experience.

Idlewyld Manor is an accredited, non-profit charitable long-term care facility situated on Hamilton’s west mountain. Our facility sits on a picturesque 13-acre corner lot surrounded by trees and lush gardens and is steeped in a rich history of community service of over 150 years.

In 1846 our roots began as a small soup kitchen on John Street in Hamilton. Approximately 23 years later, following an epidemic of cholera in Hamilton, the soup kitchen evolved to include an orphanage to serve those affected by the outbreak. Less than ten years later, we erected a home on our current parcel of land to address housing and supports for aging women in Hamilton. In 1964, the home’s name was changed to include Idlewyld in honor of a gift left by the estate of the late Col. Gordon and Mrs. Henderson. In 2002, construction began to create what is now known as Idlewyld Manor, a 192-bed facility serving 192 residents, both male and female in a continuum of care setting.
