Are you an experienced caregiver looking for reliable full-time hours, and competitive pay?

BrightStar Care of Anchorage is looking for an experienced, dependable Full-Time Caregiver to join our team in a float position providing coverage for clients throughout Anchorage, Eagle River and the Mat-Su Valley with mileage reimbursement.

This role is designed to provide consistent coverage where our clients need it most. Rather than working with one assigned client, you'll step into different client homes to help fill scheduled coverage gaps and ensure clients continue receiving dependable, high-quality care.

If you're confident in your caregiving skills, comfortable working with clients who have significant personal-care needs, and enjoy variety in your workday, we'd love to hear from you.

CNA certification is preferred, but is not required for experienced caregivers.

What We Offer

At BrightStar Care, we know great care starts with great caregivers. We provide the support, training, and resources you need to do your job well.

• Starting pay of $20-25/hour, depending on experience
• Full-time 32-40 hours per week
• Weekend availability required
• Mileage reimbursement for work-related travel
• Medical benefits
• Weekly pay with direct deposit
• Free training and continuing education
• RN oversight and support
• Employee referral bonus
• Mobile access to scheduling, timekeeping, and care documentation
• Employee recognition programs

What You'll Do

Depending on the client's individualized plan of care, responsibilities may include:

• Bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, and other personal care

• Observing and reporting changes in a client's physical, mental, or emotional condition
• Accurately documenting care provided
• Protecting each client's safety, privacy, dignity, and independence

Who We're Looking For

Required:

• At least 3 year of professional caregiving experience OR current CNA certification
• Previous hands-on experience providing personal care for bed-bound or mobility-dependent clients
