home support worker

COMPASSION HAVEN HOME CARE SERVICES LTD · Victoria, BC · $23.00 to $28.00 hourly (to be negotiated)

Verdict

The posting presents moderate fraud risk. While the job description is detailed and legitimate (home support worker with specific tasks, screening questions, and reasonable salary), the employer verification reveals significant red flags: no official website found despite targeted searches, no business registry listing, no verifiable online presence, and the company appears only in this Job Bank posting. The employer name does not match any registered business in Victoria, BC. However, the posting itself is well-structured with concrete responsibilities and standard application method (email), which prevents a higher score.
