Ontario healthcare staffing PSWs, RPNs & RNs

Ontario healthcare staffing

Care is only as good as the people who show up.

Unicorn Staffing places dependable PSWs, RPNs and RNs with care homes, hospitals, community agencies and families across Ontario. We were built by healthcare workers who know what an empty shift costs — so we treat every one like it matters.

How can we help?

Two ways in. One standard of care.

For organizations & families

You need someone you can count on.

A resident needs support tonight. A unit is short for the weekend. A parent needs help at home. Tell us what the shift looks like, and we’ll match a PSW, RPN or RN who fits — then handle the scheduling and confirmation for you.

  • Urgent, short-term and ongoing coverage
  • Credentials, references and background verified
  • One team handling the coordination

Who we place

The right level of care, matched to the need.

Not every shift calls for the same credentials. We’ll help you work out which role fits — and if you’re not sure yet, that’s exactly the conversation we’re here for.

PSW

Personal Support Workers

The steady, hands-on presence behind daily life: bathing, dressing, meals, mobility and companionship, delivered with patience and dignity.

Often needed in long-term care, retirement living and home care

Request a PSW
RPN

Registered Practical Nurses

Skilled clinical care for residents and patients: medication administration, assessments, wound care and the careful documentation that keeps a team in sync.

Often needed in long-term care, retirement and community settings

Request an RPN
RN

Registered Nurses

In-depth assessment, complex care planning and clinical leadership — the judgment to steady a unit when a patient’s needs change quickly.

Often needed in hospitals and higher-acuity care

How it works

From first call to first shift.

  1. Tell us about the need

    Call 437-993-2111 or send a request. Share the role, the setting, the schedule and anything that matters to the person receiving care.

  2. We make a thoughtful match

    We draw from our pre-vetted team and choose people for their fit with your residents, patients and routines — not just their availability.

  3. We stay close

    We handle scheduling and confirmation, and we’re a phone call away if anything changes — so care stays consistent from one shift to the next.

The people behind the shifts

Real people. Real care.

No stock photos, no actors — just candid moments with our team. These are the people who show up for residents, for patients, and for each other.

Why Unicorn

Built by healthcare workers, for healthcare.

We started this agency because we were tired of watching good care stretched thin. Everything we do is shaped by the shifts we’ve worked ourselves.

We’ve worked the shifts

We’ve felt the strain of a short unit and the relief of a colleague who walks in ready. That’s the experience we staff for.

Standards you can trust

Every PSW, RPN and RN is credential-verified, reference-checked and background-checked before placement, in line with Ontario requirements.

A team, not a headcount

We look for people who communicate, collaborate and respect the routines already in place, so care stays steady when the schedule changes.

Let’s talk

Short a shift, or looking for one?

Whether you’re covering a gap tonight or planning for next season, start with a conversation. We’ll take it from there.
