Registered Practical Nurse

JOIN OUR TEAM AND HELP LEAD WITH CARE, COMPASSION AND COMMITMENT!

ABOUT THE ROLE

Hogarth Riverview Manor is seeking compassionate and dedicated professionals to join our team at one of Ontario's largest long-term care homes. Our 480-bed facility is committed to people-centered care, respecting individual needs, cultural traditions, and lifestyles. Our staff works collaboratively with residents to promote independence and well-being, supporting them in achieving their highest level of self-care. Join us in delivering exceptional care in a modern facility designed to maximize comfort, engagement, and quality of life for our residents.

Reporting to the Clinical Manager, the Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) is responsible for assessing residents, developing a plan of care, implementing treatments and evaluating the outcomes, in consultation with the resident/Substitute Decision Maker (SDM) and other health professionals, in accordance with the Standards of Practice for the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) and current Long-Term Care Legislation. The extent to which the RPN carries out these components of practice is determined by the complexity of the resident’s condition including the predictability of the outcome for the resident; the knowledge, skill and judgment required to assess for and deal with the risks involved; and the resources (human and otherwise) available in the environment for collaboration and/or assistance.

HIRING DEADLINE:  September 2, 2026
