Job Description

Description:

6:00 AM – 2:00 PM

Mornings matter. Help residents start the day with dignity, warmth, and care.

About Honey's House

Honey’s House is a licensed assisted living home in Austin, Texas. We care for 22 residents in a warm, highly personal environment with a private chef, involved families, and a team that knows every resident by name, routine, and what helps them feel safe. This is not a large institutional setting. It is a real home environment, and every detail matters.

About The Shift

Days are the most active part of our residents’ lives. You’ll help residents begin the morning at their pace and support them through meals, activities, family visits, and early afternoon routines. You’ll work alongside a close, supportive care team with a strong staffing ratio, so you have time to care for people the right way.

Before assuming care responsibilities, you’ll complete required orientation and dementia-specific training. During your first days of employment, you’ll receive structured, supervised training covering activities of daily living, resident safety, emergency and evacuation procedures, behavior management, de-escalation, fall prevention, documentation, and Honey’s House care standards. Ongoing annual in-service education is required.

We also look for caregivers who are open to additional medication-related training as a potential part of their professional development. Any medication duties depend on applicable training, qualification, supervision, and authorization requirements.

Hourly pay: $20/hr 

• An initial probationary/training pay period applies; its length and hourly rate will be communicated before employment begins. [Insert probationary rate and duration.]

Eligible team members accrue paid time off (PTO) under Honey’s House policy. 2 weeks for the first 2 years of employment; 3 weeks for 3+ years of employment

Bonus opportunities are available under Honey’s House bonus program for time and attendance.

• Keep resident rooms and shared spaces clean, safe, and organized; assist with laundry and light housekeeping as needed
