home support worker

Lucia Richardson Home Care · Victoria, BC · $24.65 hourly

Verdict

This posting exhibits multiple strong fraud indicators. The application address is a residential townhouse unit rather than a commercial office, combined with a requirement to mail physical resumes—a classic scam pattern. The employer has no verifiable website, no corporate presence, and appears only on job aggregators. The web verification summary explicitly flags the residential address and lack of business legitimacy. While the job description itself is detailed and the salary reasonable for the role, the structural red flags—particularly the residential application address paired with mail-resume requirement—substantially outweigh the textual legitimacy signals.

Residential application address (townhouse unit)+40
Mailing address is Room 18, 909 Carolwood Dr, Victoria—verified as a residential townhouse unit, not a commercial office. applicationAddressType='residential' is a very strong fraud signal.
Mail physical resume requirement+20
Application method is 'By mail' requiring physical resume submission to residential address. Combined with residential address, this is a strong fraud pattern.
No verifiable website or business presence+15
websiteUrl=null, websiteReachable='unknown', businessMatch='uncertain'. Company appears only on job aggregators with no official web presence or verifiable corporate registration.
Location match confirmed-5
locationMatch='match' indicates the address does resolve to Victoria, BC as claimed—mild legitimacy signal.
Reasonable salary for role-5
$24.65/hour is market-appropriate for home support worker in BC, not an outlier or unrealistic offer.
Detailed job description with legitimate role details-10
Description includes specific NOC code, detailed tasks, multiple support programs (newcomers, youth, veterans, Indigenous, visible minorities), criminal record check requirement, and flexible scheduling—consistent with legitimate home care employer.
