Interested in a career with endless employment opportunities and free tuition for training?

About Northwood
As the largest not-for-profit continuing care organization in Atlantic Canada, Northwood offers a full spectrum of healthcare and living options. Northwood began in 1962 as a social movement in response to the plight of seniors living alone in Halifax. What emerged was a shared belief that people, committed to an ideal, could make a difference in the world. Since its inception, Northwood has become a powerful voice for seniors in Nova Scotia, demanding a new approach to aging in place.
