About the Role

The Book Off team will be a regularly scheduled group of PSW who will be deployed to cover patients left without a care provider due to Book Off’s and illnesses. The role will not provide regular scheduled vacation coverage. Employees will be required to drive in the Hamilton - Niagara - Haldimand - Brant area.

Book Off employees will not be assigned a regular patient caseload schedule. Book Off employees will receive their schedule as soon as the Book Off coordinator is aware of a book off.
