Caregiver PM SHIFT 2 PM-10:30 PM

Caregiver PM Shift 2 PM-10:30 PM

Fair Oaks Estates is hiring a full-time evening Caregiver in Carmichael. You'll be the calm presence at the end of the day for our residents, helping them through dinner, evening routines, and settling in safely and comfortably for the night.

Evenings ask something particular of a caregiver. Late afternoon and dusk are when confusion and restlessness tend to rise in people with dementia, and with a memory care neighborhood here, that's a real part of this shift. Someone who held it together all day may finally get tired and tearful. The work is less about rushing and more about steadiness: being unhurried, reassuring, and hard to rattle.

To be clear about scope: medications at Fair Oaks Estates are handled by our Med Techs, not by caregivers. Your job is direct resident care.

Shift hours: 2:00 PM to 10:30 PM. Full-time, scheduled on a six-week rotation.

Starting pay: $16.90 per hour (California minimum wage). Top of range: $17.90 per hour. Raises are based on performance, experience, and attendance, not on time served.

What you'll do includes taking a full handoff from the morning shift, assisting with afternoon and evening personal care, answering call lights within minutes, providing safe transfers and walking support, tray service for dinner and evening snacks, supporting memory care residents through late-day restlessness and confusion with patience and redirection, alerting the Med Tech or Care Managers promptly if a resident seems unwell, is in pain, or is refusing care, reporting any change in a resident's condition immediately, leading or supporting evening activities such as conversation, music, games, and a walk before dark, welcoming and supporting family visitors, guiding bedtime routines and helping residents settle comfortably and safely for the night, doing final rounds and safety checks, keeping rooms and common areas clean and safe, documenting in Eldermark before the end of your shift, giving a clear handoff to the overnight shift, and responding calmly to falls, confusion, and behavioral changes, escalating per protocol.

What we offer includes a rotation you can build a life around, scheduling you control from your phone, mornings free, the same residents every shift, paid initial training, paid continuing education every year, health coverage for regular full-time employees, paid sick leave for every employee, and paid vacation for regular full-time employees after one year of continuous employment.

Required qualifications include being 18 years or older, authorized to work in the United States, fingerprint clearance through Community Care Licensing, a health screening and TB test from a licensed physician, a valid First Aid card, scrubs on the floor, plus low-heeled, closed-toe, slip-resistant shoes, able to assist another caregiver in transferring residents weighing 100 to 250 pounds, daily, and to stay on your feet through a full shift, comfortable providing hands-on personal care, including toileting and incontinence care, reliable transportation to Carmichael, including a safe way home after 10:30 PM, and available to work an evening shift on a four-days-on, two-days-off rotation, which includes some weekends and holidays.

Preferred, not required, qualifications include previous caregiving experience, whether professional or caring for your own family, high school diploma or GED, experience with dementia or Alzheimer's care, especially late-day agitation, and comfortable with electronic documentation.
