Job Description

I've updated the Indeed posting to reflect multiple clients in the Kent, CT area, rather than making it specific to Linda. I also included all three shift options and kept the emphasis on companionship, memory support, consistent scheduling, and the flexibility of per diem employment.

Now Hiring – Morning, Afternoon & Evening Caregivers in Kent, CT

SVNA Home Assistance is looking for compassionate, dependable, and experienced caregivers to join our growing team!

We currently have several clients in the Kent, CT area who need reliable caregivers for companionship, daily living assistance, and support with maintaining their independence at home.

We are looking for individuals who enjoy working one-on-one with seniors, building meaningful relationships, and making a positive difference in someone's daily life.

Experience working with seniors who have memory loss, cognitive decline, or dementia is especially valuable for these assignments.

We have ongoing opportunities for caregivers who can consistently cover any of the following shifts:

• Morning: 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM

• Late Morning / Early Afternoon: 10:30 AM – 1:30 PM

• Evening: 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM

These shifts are available with multiple clients throughout the Kent area.

We welcome applicants interested in one shift, multiple shifts, or additional hours throughout the week.

Weekend availability is strongly preferred.

Our goal is to provide clients with consistent, dependable caregivers while helping our employees build schedules that work with their availability.

Care needs vary by client, but responsibilities may include:

• Providing companionship, conversation, and emotional support.

• Assisting seniors experiencing memory loss or cognitive changes with gentle reminders and redirection.

• Encouraging independence and participation in daily activities.

• Accompanying clients on walks, outdoor activities, and social outings.

• Providing transportation to appointments, errands, shopping, or lunch when requested and authorized.

• Assisting with meal preparation, heating meals, and encouraging proper nutrition.

• Providing medication reminders for medications prepared by the client or family.

• Performing light housekeeping, laundry, and keeping the home environment comfortable and safe.

• Assisting with personal care, including bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting, when required by the client's care plan.

• Monitoring safety and communicating any changes or concerns to the office.

• Building trusting relationships with clients who may be hesitant to accept assistance.

We are looking for individuals who understand that providing care is about more than completing a list of tasks.

Some clients may require hands-on assistance, while others simply need someone who can gently encourage them, provide companionship, and help them feel safe and comfortable in their own home.

Ideal candidates will have:

• Previous experience as a CNA, PCA, home care aide, or companion caregiver.

• Experience with dementia, memory loss, or cognitive decline preferred.

• Patience, compassion, and strong communication skills.

• A valid driver's license and reliable transportation.

• Willingness to transport clients when appropriate.

• Ability to pass required background screening and drug testing.

• Dependable attendance and a commitment to consistent client care.

• Weekend availability preferred.

At SVNA Home Assistance, we understand that caregivers need flexibility in their schedules.

As a per diem caregiver, you tell us the days and hours you are available, and our scheduling team works to match you with clients needing care during those times.

Here's how our scheduling works:

• All client visits have a 3-hour minimum .

• Caregivers may work multiple client shifts in one day to build a fuller schedule.

• Our scheduling team makes every effort to arrange shifts close together to reduce downtime and travel between clients.

• We aim to establish recurring schedules whenever possible to provide consistency for both caregivers and clients.

• Weekend availability can provide additional opportunities.

• While we cannot guarantee a specific number of hours each week, we regularly have shifts available throughout our service area.

• The hours you receive will depend on client needs, your availability, experience, and location.

Pay: $20.00–$23.00 per hour, based on experience and qualifications.

My recommendation for Indeed: I would use “Caregiver / CNA / PCA – Morning & Evening Shifts – Kent, CT” as the actual job title. It highlights the available hours immediately, which may attract applicants who are specifically looking for daytime or evening work rather than a general per diem position.
