# About the position 

 WellFort is seeking a Personal Support Worker to join our Homeless Health Program (HHP).

 

HOMELESS HEALTH PROGRAM

The Homeless Health Program is a Nurse Practitioner-led initiative that provides essential healthcare services to individuals who are homeless, precariously housed, or transitioning out of homelessness in the Peel Region. We understand the unique challenges faced by those without stable housing, and our goal is to make healthcare accessible, integrated, and responsive.

Our dedicated team includes Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses, Registered Practical Nurses, and Personal Support Workers, all working together to ensure our patients receive the care they need, where and when they need it. We remove barriers to care for those facing housing instability and poor health.

The program manages 45 medical beds at the Dundas Street Shelter, providing 24/7 care, as well as daytime mobile primary care services at other shelters and drop-ins across the region.

By providing these services, we help hospitals make the best use of their emergency and acute care resources. Patients who no longer need to stay in the hospital but still require medical support can continue their recovery in a shelter bed with healthcare services. We also offer additional support for people in shelters who may need extra medical attention, helping to prevent unnecessary hospital visits.

Our medical services include:

  • Care for chronic conditions like diabetes
  • Medication management
  • Support for substance withdrawal and pain management
  • Wound care
  • Mental health services and stabilization
  • Chiropody (foot care)
  • Monitoring and support after hospital stays

This program ensures that structurally vulnerable populations in our community have access to the care they deserve, improving overall health and wellbeing.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

The Personal Support Worker will be a valued and trusted companion to people experiencing homelessness by providing assistance with day-to-day living activities including personal care, meal set up, lifestyle assistance and light housekeeping duties. You will also encourage and assist the client in engaging in exercise, leisure and social activities to promote physical and mental wellbeing while fostering independence. The Personal Support Worker will work with their team to develop care plans, engage in constant client assessment, communicate effectively with colleagues, clients and families, and deliver client-focused care within the scope of their practice.

# Qualifications

 Preferred Qualifications (Knowledge, Experience):

  • Personal Support Worker Certificate from a recognized and accredited school.

  • Excellent written communication and oral skills that meet the needs of the individual and/or community at the appropriate literacy level.
  • Experience working with confidential and time sensitive documents and information.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to multi-task in a fast-paced environment.

Le gouvernement fédéral doit revenir sur les coupes budgétaires dans les services de santé aux réfugiés : lisez notre lettre ouverte au ministre de l’Immigration

Date: 
Tuesday, April 14, 2026

L’honorable Lena Metlege Diab, Ministre de l’Immigration, des Réfugiés et de la Citoyenneté  

Le 14 avril 2026

Objet : Modifications au Programme fédéral de santé intérimaire (PFSI)

Madame la Ministre Diab,

Je vous écris en ma qualité de directrice générale de l’Alliance pour des communautés en santé. L’Alliance est le porte-parole d’un réseau dynamique d’organismes de soins de santé primaires interprofessionnels et gérés par la communauté. Ces organismes offrent des soins de santé complets aux personnes qui font face aux obstacles les plus importants en matière d’accès aux soins, notamment les réfugiés, les demandeurs d’asile et les nouveaux arrivants au Canada. 

Madame la Ministre, je vous adresse la présente pour vous faire part de ma profonde inquiétude concernant les modifications au Programme fédéral de santé intérimaire (PFSI) annoncées par votre gouvernement le 27 janvier dernier. Les changements prévus imposeront de nouveaux copaiements pour les médicaments et les services complémentaires (notamment le counseling, la physiothérapie, les soins de la vue et les soins dentaires) dans le cadre du PFSI. Cette politique crée des obstacles à l’accès aux soins pour les réfugiés, rappelant les mesures adoptées par le gouvernement conservateur fédéral en 2012. Même des copaiements modiques pour des médicaments et des services de santé seront inabordables pour plusieurs; certains pourraient ainsi retarder ou renoncer à des soins, ce qui risque d’entraîner des conséquences dévastatrices pour leur santé. 

La plupart des réfugiés arrivent au Canada avec des moyens financiers très limités, voire inexistants, ayant souvent fui la guerre, la persécution ou le déplacement. De nombreux réfugiés réinstallés présentent des besoins médicaux complexes ou ont subi des traumatismes, alors qu’ils ne sont pas admissibles à l’assurance-médicaments provinciale ou à l’aide sociale pendant leur première année au pays. Le PFSI offre la couverture de santé essentielle que ces personnes ne pourraient autrement s’offrir. Par conséquent, ces compressions sont d’une imprévoyance flagrante et pourraient entraîner les conséquences suivantes :

  • L’impossibilité d’obtenir des médicaments pour des soins préventifs ou aigus, ou pour traiter des maladies chroniques, comme le diabète et les cardiopathies, risque d’augmenter les visites aux urgences et les hospitalisations.
  • Les maladies infectieuses non traitées, notamment le VIH et l’hépatite, peuvent accroître les risques pour la santé tant individuelle que collective.
  • Les entraves à la couverture des soins de la vue et des lunettes ou des appareils d’aide à la mobilité peuvent nuire à la capacité d’étudier et de travailler.
  • Des infections dentaires non traitées pourraient entraîner des complications menant à des visites aux urgences et à des hospitalisations.
  • Un accès limité aux services de santé mentale peut ralentir l’intégration à la société canadienne et nuire à la capacité de contribution des nouveaux arrivants.
  • Les difficultés d’accès à la contraception et aux traitements prénataux posent des risques importants pour la santé des femmes.

Madame la Ministre, nous demandons à votre gouvernement, ainsi qu’au premier ministre, de revenir sur la décision d’imposer ces copaiements. Ceux-ci ne feront qu’alourdir le fardeau de réfugiés déjà vulnérables et, en fin de compte, augmenteront les coûts pour l’ensemble du système. Alors que d’autres pays choisissent de punir les réfugiés pour des crises dont ils ne sont pas responsables, le Canada doit rester fidèle aux valeurs de puissance moyenne que le premier ministre Carney prône souvent sur la scène internationale. Le Canada doit demeurer une terre d’accueil pour ceux qui, dans le monde, cherchent un refuge; or, cette hospitalité repose sur des politiques comme le PFSI.

En 2012, il a fallu quatre ans et un changement de gouvernement pour garantir que les réfugiés et les demandeurs d’asile puissent accéder aux soins requis afin d’éviter que leurs problèmes de santé ne s’aggravent. Il a fallu quatre ans et un changement de gouvernement pour que soit entendue la voix des médecins et des professionnels paramédicaux, regroupant 20 associations de santé et des gouvernements provinciaux de tous les horizons politiques. Il a fallu une décision de la Cour fédérale jugeant que les compressions au PFSI constituaient une violation de la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés.

Prenons la bonne décision. Annulez cette mesure. Montrons au monde l’identité profonde du Canada : un pays qui garde ses portes ouvertes à quiconque est dans le besoin, même quand d’autres les ferment.

Je vous prie d’agréer, Madame la Ministre, l’expression de mes sentiments distingués.

Sarah Hobbs  

Federal government must reverse cuts to refugee health: Alliance's Open Letter to Minister of Immigration on Changes to Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP)

Date: 
Tuesday, April 14, 2026

Hon. Lena Metlege Diab, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship

April 14, 2026

Re: Changes to the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP)

 

Dear Minister Diab,

I am writing to you in my role as the Chief Executive Officer of the Alliance for Healthier Communities. The Alliance for Healthier Communities is the voice of a vibrant network of community-governed, inter-professional primary health care organizations who provide comprehensive healthcare to those who face the most barriers to accessing care, including refugees, asylum claimants and applicants, as well as other newcomers to Canada.

Minister, I write to you today out of deep concern for the changes to the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) announced by your government on January 27. The changes your government announced will put in place new co-payments for medications and supplemental services (including counselling, physiotherapy, vision, and dental care) under the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP). The policy introduces barriers to care for refugees, echoing measures enacted by the federal Conservative government in 2012. Even modest copayments for medications and health services will be unaffordable to many, and individuals may delay or forgo care with potentially devastating health consequences. 

Most refugees arrive in Canada with very little to no financial means, often having fled war, persecution, or displacement. Many resettled refugees have complex medical needs or have suffered trauma yet are ineligible for provincial drug coverage or social assistance for one year. The IFHP provides the necessary health coverage refugees could not otherwise afford. Therefore, these cuts are incredibly shortsighted, and may lead to:

  • Failure to access medications for preventative or acute care, or to treat chronic conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease, may lead to deterioration in health conditions and increased emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations
  • Untreated infectious diseases, including HIV and hepatitis, may increase risks to both individual and community health
  • Barriers to coverage for vision care and eyeglasses, or for assistive mobility devices, may hinder ability to study and work
  • Unmanaged dental infections could result in complications, leading to emergency department visits and hospitalizations
  • Limited access to mental health services may slow integration into Canadian society and impede the ability to contribute
  • Difficulties accessing contraception and prenatal treatments pose significant risks to women’s health.

Minister, we call on your government, and the Prime Minister, to reverse the decision to introduce these co-payments, which will impose hardship on already vulnerable refugees and ultimately increase system costs. Other countries choose to punish refugees for crises not of their making, but Canada must hold to the middle power values Prime Minister Carney speaks of often on the world stage. Canada must remain a refuge to those in the world who need a place to go, and that door hinges on policies like the IFHP.

Back in 2012, it took four years, and a change in government, to ensure that refugees and asylum claimants could access the care they needed, to prevent medical issues from worsening. It took four years and a change in government for the voices of doctors and allied providers that encompassed 20 national health associations and provincial governments from across the political spectrum to be heard. It took a federal court decision that deemed cuts to IFHP to be a violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

This time, let’s do the right thing. Reverse this decision. Ensure that the world knows who Canada is, and that when others close their doors, ours are open to anyone in need.

Sincerely,

Sarah Hobbs CEO, Alliance for Healthier Communities
