The primary duties involve assisting vulnerable clients with hoarding tendencies to de-clutter, sort, organize their homes, and establish realistic, client-driven goals for safe living. Volunteers must also work at the client's pace, foster appropriate use of cleared spaces, and remain attentive to the client's emotional state.
VHA Home HealthCare (VHA) is one of the largest not-for-profit home care providers in Ontario.
Our team is made up of close to 3,000 caring and committed professionals who love what they do.
Our providers tell us: “Home care is where I can truly make a difference.
There is such a sense of accomplishment from helping people live independently at home.” Our teams work together to provide high quality, client-centred care to those who need it most in their homes, schools, retirement homes and other community settings.
Many of our team members manage their own schedules in the community and they say, “The freedom and flexibility can’t be beat.” Providers form meaningful bonds with the clients and families they serve over time and are supported by a diverse regional team and beneficial home office programs.
Team members tell us “I love the inclusive culture.
I feel welcome and at home.”

Accommodation and VHA’s commitment to DEI
Candidates must possess strong active listening and oral communication skills for one-on-one work in the client's home, demonstrating motivation, patience, and interest in mental health and compulsive hoarding. Essential qualities include being friendly, reliable, responsible, non-judgmental, and capable of acting independently within established policies and boundaries.
Market context
Physician roles in Ontario are typically in steady demand, especially in community-based and primary care settings. Competition is often shaped by licensure requirements, specialty certification, and experience working with diverse populations; for this role, an MD, CCFP, CPSO licensure, and valued experience with Indigenous communities and anti-oppressive practice stand out. Review the AI-summarized requirements and benefits here to save time, then confirm your CPSO status and tailor your application to community care experience.
