Job Description

Caregiver / Home Care Aide — Pleasant Hill & Martinez

SYNERGY HomeCare of Pleasant Hill · Independently Owned & Operated

Here is the pay, plainly. You start between $21 and $23 an hour depending on your caregiving experience. If you work every shift you agreed to in a calendar month, we add $2 an hour on top — and we apply it to every hour you worked that month , not just the last one. A full-time caregiver with clean attendance lands at $23–$25 an hour.

Weekday mornings, weekday afternoons, weekend days, and overnights. Some clients want four hours twice a week. Some want a steady eight-hour weekday block. Tell us the schedule you can actually keep, and we build around it instead of calling you at 6 a.m. to beg.

Our office is on Morello Avenue in Pleasant Hill. Clients are in Pleasant Hill, Martinez, and Pacheco — Gregory Gardens, Poets Corner, Alhambra Valley, and the neighborhoods near John Muir Health and the Kaiser Permanente Martinez campus. Most of our caregivers here drive ten minutes or less to a client.

You go to one person's home and help them get through their day with dignity. In practice that means personal care — bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, oral hygiene — plus meals, light housekeeping, grocery runs, medication reminders, safe transfers and repositioning, and watching for changes worth reporting. A good share of it is simply conversation and company, which matters more than the task list suggests.

You document in the app on your phone, clock in and out there, and call the office when something is off. That is the whole system.

• Registered Home Care Aide (HCA) with the State of California — or willing to register. We walk you through it and pay for it.

• High school diploma or GED

• 2-step TB test and CPR / First Aid — current, or we help you get them

• Driver's license and reliable transportation, preferred

• Clear a national criminal background check and be bondable

• References we can reach

• Physically able to stand, walk, kneel, and assist with repositioning

Experience as a CNA, HHA, personal care aide, companion, or in assisted living, memory care, or senior care transfers directly. No agency background required — several of our caregivers started here with none.

• 401(k) retirement plan, eligibility requirements apply

• Paid training, including dementia, Parkinson's, and hospice support

• We pay for your HCA Registry renewal and CPR recertification

• Referral bonuses when you bring us someone good

• A real path: Caregiver → Senior Caregiver → Lead / Mentor

We are a locally owned SYNERGY HomeCare office in Pleasant Hill, not a national call center routing you through a queue. The owner answers the phone. You get a dedicated caregiver line with published hours, a check-in on day one and day seven, and a call from us when a client says something good about you — because that happens more than caregivers ever hear about.

Apply today. Applications take a few minutes, we interview on a rolling basis, and we have shifts open now.
