3 Key Differences between Healthcare Assistant & Community Support Worker

Community support workers and healthcare assistants are two essential pillars of the Canadian healthcare sector; however, both of these careers have quite distinct characteristics. If you are looking to enroll in one of these two programs, this blog is going to help you make the right decision according to your needs.

Differences in what they do

There are differences in the job duties of community support workers and healthcare assistants. For instance, community support workers help vulnerable people who are usually at risk of getting into social and personal problems. They also help people get enrolled in social welfare programs so that they can be better served by the state-run programs. Some of the main duties of community support workers include:

Drug-related issues in youth and teenagers

Homeless people

Abuse and mental health problems

People in need of emotional support

Trauma-related issues

Refugees dealing with issues 

The job-related duties of healthcare assistants are slightly different from those of community support workers. For instance, healthcare assistants or healthcare aides usually provide assistance to people who need help in daily living. Healthcare assistants usually help people in long-term care facilities or people who need help in their homes. They usually help old people or people with disabilities. Some of the main duties of healthcare assistants include:

Therapeutic exercises of patients

Companionship and emotional support

Medication-related duties

Meal preparation and other nutrition related matters

Eating, grooming, dressing, etc.

Personal hygiene

Differences in courses and training

There are some major differences in the training and the courses that they are taught in their diplomas. For instance, take a look and notice that Edison College’s Community Support Worker: Addictions & Mental Health Specialization has a focus on courses related to social sciences such as sociology, psychology, etc. Whereas the same college in its Health Care Assistant Diploma focuses on physiology, anatomy, etc. Despite these core differences, there are some similar courses in both of these two programs, such as standard first aid, CPR level C, interpersonal communication, etc. 

Differences in career options

While both community support workers and healthcare assistants can help people with different kinds of needs, they mainly have different career options. For example, community support workers work in women’s shelters, school boards, homeless shelters, community service centers, hospitals, group homes, social service government agencies, correctional facilities, addiction and counseling support facilities, etc. However, healthcare assistants mainly work in long-term care facilities, acute care, assisted living, complex care, adult day care, etc.

After discussing the differences between community support workers and healthcare assistants, let us talk about the larger picture of the healthcare sector in Canada and how it is expected to change in the future. Like all the developed countries, Canada is getting old faster than most countries in the world. In fact, Canada has a larger percentage of a population of 65-year olds or more compared to the United States. North American countries such as Canada and the United States both have an aging population, but they are still behind many European and Asian countries, perhaps due to the higher immigration of young people annually. Most of the top 10 countries with the oldest population in the world are either from Europe or East Asia.

People 65 years of age or older make up over 17.2% of the total Canadian population. Although Canada is currently far behind compared to Japan, world’s oldest country with over 28.2% of its population over the age of 65, it will catch up to Japan by 2046, according to the data compiled by the Government of Canada. The Canadian population is not only getting old, but it is also growing very fast compared to the past. Both of these two factors are directly proportional to the market demand of healthcare workers, including community support workers and healthcare workers.

Conclusion

Whether you choose a career as a community support worker or healthcare assistant, you will not only be earning a respectable living but also serving society at large. The recognition of the services provided by these professions has also increased over the last few years, particularly after the pandemic. As discussed earlier, due to the changing demographics of the country, new job opportunities are also being created, and the trend is expected to continue in the foreseeable future.

Edison College is also offering a Health Care Assistant Program with Co-op; this is a 62-week diploma with 600-hour co-op placement. Practicum-based diplomas usually take more time to complete, but they also prepare the graduates for job-ready skills.

I hope this situation is resolved quickly. I hope Quackity and the cc’s are able to work to make conditions better. But in the meantime, we as an audience are going to need to be prepared for some things.

What things, you ask? Well, to begin, this situation is very similar to what happens when an unprotected labor force (in this case the admins/devs/etc) begins to communicate and band together for better working conditions (eg unions). The higher ups don’t want this. The higher ups are going to do anything and everything in their power to prevent this from happening. The higher ups WANT this labor force to be unprotected because it means that they can continue to take advantage of them and make more money off of their work. As more and more former (and, hopefully, current) admins begin to speak out, I can guarantee you that the higher ups will work to silence those still involved with the project as much as they can. If they think one of the current admins is giving out information or is about to go forward with their story, they will remove them first.

If this happens-if an egg admin suddenly stops showing up or shows up acting different than they normally do-it is because the higher ups have chosen to silence them rather than fix the underlying problem.

If this happens: WE NEED TO SHOW OUR SUPPORT.

If this turns into an actual strike on the side of the admins (which I feel would take the form of NONE of them showing up which would remove a majority of this server’s content and generate high audience support-and that’s without getting into a strike on the side of the building devs/writers/etc) we need to remember to support them. That means being vocal about what we want to see (better conditions) and letting those higher ups know that we stand with the workers.

If this becomes a strike-and I dearly hope it does-we as an audience need to support it and understand that the content we are used to may not be able to happen for an extended period of time. That’s the entire POINT of a strike; it’s disruptive.

This got away from me a little, but I think it’s important to note. I hope to fucking god that this situation is resolved quickly in favor of the admins. They have put too much time, effort, and soul into this project for some assholes in middle management to give them jack shit in return.

Support workers. Always.

David Tennant recently used language not often heard on Doctor Who and Good Omens which he aimed at transphobes.

David Tennant has once again made an impassioned declaration of support for the transgender community. In recent history, the Doctor Who actor has repeatedly made headlines thanks to his allyship towards trans and gender non-conforming people – most notably with a subtle gesture during a TV interview that wound up helping to raise £18,000 for the LGBTQ+ youth charity AKT. Over the weekend, David made an appearance at the Proud Nerd convention in Germany, where he was asked by a fan about his own “relationship with gender expression”, in light of his past support for trans people. As recorded in a viral TikTok that has already accrued more than half a million views, the former Broadchurch star said: “When I was a kid, the idea of being non-binary wasn’t something that existed. It wasn’t a concept. I’ve seen that emerge, and people are able to express themselves through that. It only ever seems positive as far as I can see.” Elaborating on the “weaponisation of trans rights”, he continued: “I remember, when I was a teenager, I remember gay rights being weaponised politically. And that always felt ugly and nasty, and now, we look back on that, 30 years later, and those people are clearly on the wrong side of history. “And now, there is a similar weaponisation of these topics being taken by mostly the right-wing, or certain sections of society, trying to create friction and conflict and division where it needn’t be. It’s just about people being themselves, you don’t need to be bothered about it.” “Fuck off and let people be,” he concluded, which was met with a round of applause from the room.

Another expression of support for the trans community has come from a more unusual source – Pope Francis.

How Pope Francis opened the Vatican to transgender sex workers

The outreach reflected an unconventional pope in the most radical stage of his papacy. From his early days in 2013, when he famously declared, “Who am I to judge,” Francis has urged the Catholic Church to embrace all comers, including those living in conflict with its teachings. Now, his unprecedented opening to the LGBTQ+ community has reached its zenith — and ballooned into the most explosive issue of his tenure, fueling a bitter clash with senior conservative clerics, who have denounced him in remarkably harsh terms. In recent months, Francis has given explicit approval for transgender godparents and blessings of same-sex couples. He penned a defense of secular civil unions — once described by his predecessor as “contrary to the common good.”

The pope has sometimes contradicted himself in this area. But his more recent actions apparently take precedence over his past words.

Pope Francis and David Tennant (who portrays a devil on Good Omens) find themselves on the opposite side of MAGA Republicans. In West Virginia, for example, candidates for the GOP nomination for governor are competing with each other to see who can be the most anti-trans.

West Virginia Governor’s Race Is a Battle of Who Can Be the Most Anti-Trans

The MAGA Republican Party finds itself on the wrong side of history in this area – as well as many other areas.
