• Help Keep Everyone Active and Comfortable – Provide gentle physical assistance throughout the day using proper techniques to ensure safety and avoid injury for everyone.
• Pitch in with Food Service – Lend a hand with meal delivery and help create a welcoming and enjoyable dining experience.
• Take Simple Health Measures – Monitor vital signs and keep a watchful eye on participant well-being as directed by the care team.
• Keep Supplies Stocked and Ready – Ensure personal care supplies like incontinence items and grooming tools are available and organized.
• Follow Team Guidance with Care – Carry out care tasks and status checks based on directions from our interdisciplinary team.
• Connect with Warmth – Communicate clearly and kindly with participants, families, team members, and outside providers—building trust and teamwork every step of the way.
• Jump In Where Needed – You’re a flexible team player who’s ready to lend a hand wherever it’s needed to ensure participants receive the best care possible.
• We seek Rebels who are curious about AI and its power to transform how we operate and serve our members.
• Actively support the achievement of SCAN's vision and goals.
• Other duties as assigned.

Qualifications and Experience:​

• A Heart for Service – You’re passionate about caring for older adults and feel called to support high-risk seniors and those with complex needs.
• Hands-On Experience – You have experience as a Personal Care Attendant (PCA) or Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), especially working with frail or elderly individuals.
• Safety First – You’re CPR and First Aid certified—or willing to complete certification within 60 days of starting.
• A Plus, Not a Must – CNA or Home Health Aide (HHA) certification is preferred but not required—we value your experience and heart just as much.
• Ready to Go – You’re flexible and willing to provide care in participants’ homes when needed.
• Bilingual Bonus – Speaking more than one language is a big plus in serving our diverse community.
• Reliable Transportation – You have a valid California driver’s license, dependable transportation, a clean driving record, and current auto insurance—ensuring you can safely reach those who need you most.
