FAQs for Care Providers
-
We want to serve our community holistically. We offer free care in areas of spiritual health, physical health and emotional health. When a client requests care, he/she meets with our trained Client intake team to discuss his/her care needs. Our Client Intake team will use the information from the intake process to refer the client to the care provider who can best meet the needs presented. From there, the care provider and client will communicate with each other to set up an appointment(s) as mutually agreed upon.
Please Note: Client referrals are not guaranteed and will fluctuate based on client intake needs.
-
We are looking for regulated and non-regulated care providers in various fields/disciplines who can provide free, compassionate care for people in need in our community. Some examples could include psychotherapists, counsellors, financial advisors, doctors, naturopaths, massage therapists, spiritual directors, etc. If you have a skill set or qualification that could fit at our Care Centre, we would love to hear from you through our application process.
-
A regulated care provider is someone who is licenced or holds credentials and insurance with their respective governing body. Proof of these documents will be required to serve as a regulated care provider.
A non-regulated care provider is someone who does not hold credentials/licensing/insurance in their field but has other experience that could be helpful. This could include people who can serve in our English conversation circles, admin support, etc.
If you're still unsure about how best your skill sets and experience can fit, please email info@porticocarecentre.ca, and our Care Centre team will connect with you.

This depends on you! Our care providers can serve for a period of time (ie. a few months) or for a while. During the application process, our Care Centre team will discuss your availability and how you can best fit into caring for our community.
-
Yes! We will walk you through the process and answer any questions you may have. If you are serving as a regulated care provider, then you are the expert in your field! If you are serving as a non-regulated care provider, we will give you the necessary training to serve in that capacity.
-
That is up to you! The Portico Care Centre has private rooms available for care provider appointment booking (we would just need to know dates/times in advance) or you can meet with your client virtually (if applicable) or at your own place of practice (if applicable).
-
We believe that everyone has the ability to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. If you are serving as a care provider, your services will be offered on a volunteer basis and will not be compensated. This volunteer opportunity allows us to work together to support individuals and families in need and strengthen the well-being of our community.
-
We believe that every individual brings unique strengths, experiences, and abilities that can make a meaningful contribution to the community. As part of our commitment to providing compassionate, respectful, and high-quality care, we ask all Care Providers to review and sign Care Centre Community Values Agreement (CVA). The CVA outlines the values, principles, and practices that our employees and volunteers commit to as we work together to support individuals, families, and the broader community.
