About Briarwood Manor

Briarwood Manor has been part of the Lockport community for decades. We're a 160-bed assisted living community on Lincoln Avenue serving older adults across general assisted living, an Assisted Living Program, and a dedicated 20-unit Memory Care. Our team supports residents and their families through thoughtful, individualized care — and we take care of our team in return.

About This Role

Our assisted living residents are independent older adults who need a little extra support — help with daily activities, medication management, and the comfort of knowing someone is always nearby. You'll be part of a consistent care team that knows our residents well. We're hiring caregivers at all credential levels — PCA, HHA, and Med Tech — for full-time, part-time, and per-diem positions across day, evening, and overnight shifts.

What You'll Do

•     Help residents with daily activities — bathing, dressing, grooming, meals, ambulation, and personal care

•     Conduct rounds and check in with assigned residents throughout your shift

•     Build real relationships with each resident — learn their preferences, their routines, what matters to them

•     Document care and observations in our electronic care record

•     Support resident participation in activities, meals, and social programs

•     Respond calmly and confidently to safety needs and report changes in resident condition to your team lead

•     If certified as a Med Tech: administer scheduled and PRN medications per resident orders and document accurately

What We're Looking For

•     You're at least 18 years old and able to legally work in New York

•     You have or can obtain an active PCA, HHA, or Med Tech credential on the New York State Home Care Worker Registry

•     You're patient, kind, and reliable — and you treat older adults with the respect they deserve

•     You can communicate clearly in English (additional languages are a plus)

•     You can lift, transfer, and assist residents safely with proper training

•     You're able to clear a Justice Center / State Central Registry background check and complete a pre-employment physical and TB screening

•     Prior caregiving experience is a plus but not required

Why Join Briarwood

•     Competitive pay graduated by credential — PCA, HHA, and Med Tech all paid at their level, plus premium pay for overnight shifts

•     Health, dental, and vision insurance for eligible full-time staff

•     Paid time off

•     401(k) retirement plan

•     Employee referral bonus when you bring great people to our team

•     A team that knows your name, has your back, and treats this like more than just a job

Schedule

Full-time, part-time, and per-diem positions available across all three shifts:

•     Day: 6:00 AM – 2:00 PM

•     Evening: 2:00 PM – 10:00 PM

•     Overnight: 10:00 PM – 6:00 AM (with premium pay)

Rotating weekends and holidays. Flexible scheduling within posted shifts wherever possible.
