Job Description

About the company:

Noval Care is the heart-centred companion support division of Noval Bloom Inc. We provide gentle, non-clinical presence for individuals navigating the tender seasons of postpartum recovery, grief, or health challenges.

Our companions don't offer therapy or medical care, they offer something just as powerful:

a calming presence, a listening ear, and an emotional & supportive space to simply be

. Whether it's holding the baby so a new mom can shower, sitting quietly during a tough moment, or helping with small tasks so someone can rest, our support is grounded in empathy, dignity, and real connection.

Our team is made up of

listeners, reassurers, nurturers, and compassionate companions

who walk alongside clients during life's most vulnerable moments.

Because care doesn't end at hospital discharge,

it begins at home.

Description:

This is not a medical, childcare or personal care role; It's about being a steady, supportive presence for families and individuals going through postpartum, grief, or health recovery. You might hold space for a new parent, lending a hand so they can rest, or simply offer quiet companionship during overwhelming moments after returning from the hospital, or transitioning back into a new lifestyle after illness or loss.
