Job Title: Assistant to the Lead Caregiver Trainer & Caregiver — Field Support, Training & Meet-and-Greets (Howell/Brighton)

Body:

FirstLight Home Care of Greater Brighton is hiring a flexible, people-first Assistant to our Lead Caregiver Trainer to support our clients, families, and caregivers across the Howell and Brighton area. This is a hands-on hybrid role: you'll spend about 20 hours a week assisting with training and field supervision, and about 20 hours a week providing direct client care.

Why this role is a great fit:

• $36,400/year to start ($1,400 biweekly), full-time, with room to grow
• Variety every day — no two days look the same; you'll split your time between supporting training, checking in on care quality, and working directly with clients
• Paid, hands-on training — plus CPR, First Aid, Memory Care, and Parkinson's training
• Real advancement — Since most of our office team began their careers as caregivers, you'll always have direct contact to someone who can understand, assist, and provide support.
• Benefits — Blue Care Network health, dental, and vision available; paid sick time after 120 days; bonus pay and wellness resources such as FREE Telehealth, free medication, and free mental health guidance through Vitable

Do you have a heart for care and a talent for helping others grow? If you've cared for clients or loved ones and enjoy supporting a team, this role lets you do both — help develop our caregivers while staying connected to the hands-on work that matters.

What you'll do:

• Assist the Lead Caregiver Trainer with hands-on training for new and current caregivers
• Conduct supervisory visits in clients' homes to ensure care quality and that care plans are being followed
• Perform client meet-and-greets and welcome visits for new clients and their families
• Provide direct client care about 20 hours per week — bathing, dressing, mobility, transfers, and companionship
• Step in to support scheduling and coverage needs, including some nights and weekends

What we're looking for:

• Genuine availability for nights and weekends — flexibility is essential for this role
• Minimum 1 year of caregiving experience; CNA preferred
• Able to provide professional references
• Reliable transportation and a valid Michigan driver's license — you'll travel between client homes
• Strong communication and people skills — you'll help coach caregivers and reassure families
• Dependable, organized, and calm under pressure
• A commitment to doing things the right way, every time
