Volunteering

A bursary program for high school students called Youth and Elders in Action allows 30 students gain bursary hours. “We work with various community groups to encourage young people to volunteer. These opportunities can enrich the lives of the residents and those graciously contributing.”

Many jobs available

“Full-time, part-time, contract, temporary, permanent, and year-round positions are available,” says Gayle LaMont, Administrator. “Wages, healthcare benefits, insurance, sick and vacation time are determined by collective agreements.

“High school students working here in the summer have a great opportunity to learn if the long-term care field is a fit for them,” says Gayle. “Many students find it very rewarding. We are very interested in hiring RN and LPN students for summer positions and casual work.”

Hiring needs

“Our hiring needs are on-going, year-round,” says Gayle. “Job seekers should watch for postings at www.gov.pe.ca/jobspei because many opportunities come up throughout the year. The most difficult positions to fill are Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), Resident Care Workers (RCWs), and Red Seal Cooks.

“At Summerset Manor we have bilingual positions for nursing, service workers, clerks, and an OT Assistant.

“The PEI Public Service Commission does all our hiring,” says Gayle. “The best way to get your foot in the door is through volunteering, seeking opportunities for student placements, and applying for casual work. We are eager to welcome diversely talented, educated, and caring new staff members to work with our team.”
