About the Role

Homewatch CareGivers of Portland is hiring a Hybrid Caregiver and Office Support Specialist. This role is designed for experienced caregivers who want to expand their skills while continuing to provide hands-on care.

At least 50 percent of this role is hands-on caregiving at all times. This requirement is non-negotiable.

In this role, you won’t just show up — you’ll set the tone. As the very first in-home representative our clients meet, you’ll create trust, comfort, and confidence from day one. You’ll use your sharp eye and strong instincts to notice what others might miss, identifying unmet needs and helping shape care plans that truly reflect each client’s reality. You’ll play an active role in refining and elevating the support we provide, all while keeping clear, accurate documentation that ensures our entire team stays aligned. This is a role for someone who loves being proactive, takes pride in the details, and understands that first impressions — and follow-through — matter.
