Job Description

We believe that our Caregivers are the heart of our business. Without you, we couldn’t build meaningful relationships with our clients, put a smile on their face or be the highlight of their day. It is hard to put a price on helping others, but we know how important you are and value the impact you would make day in and day out for our clients.

Competitive pay ($190 - $220 a day)

Sign-on bonus

Medical benefits, including vision and dental

Retirement saving plan

Ongoing PAID training and development opportunities

On-the-job training for unique client situations

Unlimited employee referral bonuses

Extremely positive work environment

Recognition, celebrations and great team interactions!

 

What You’ll Do and Who You Are:

The good news is that your training will teach you everything you need to know to succeed on the job. But there are a few character traits you should have from the get-go. We have a great work culture at Right at Home and look for people with a similar mindset:

You’re the honest, likable, energetic, and are able to get along with people at all levels.

You listen well, have great decision-making skills and are passionate about your customer focus.

You’re never short of a smile and take real pride in your work by being resourceful, accountable, and adaptable.

You don’t mind getting a little dirty … this could include (but is not limited to) assisting the patient with activities of daily living such as providing assistance with personal hygiene (toileting, bathing, care of mouth, skin and hair), ambulation, eating, dressing, shaving, light housekeeping, and other household chores. 

You don’t have to be a gourmet chef, but you can prepare a good meal and work your way around a kitchen. 

You establish “partner” relationships with the client by providing companionship during activities such as accompanying client on walks, trips to social/recreational activities, assistance with hobbies, etc.

High school degree and/or a G.E.D. certificate
