Home Health Aide

Home Health Caregiver

You'll join a compassionate, fast-growing home health and home care team that supports patients one-on-one in their homes and communities. Expect to be hands-on -- providing personal care, supporting daily living needs, and making a real difference in someone's day, every shift. This is a role for someone dependable, patient, and service-driven who wants meaningful work and flexible opportunities. Licensed HHAs/CNAs are encouraged to apply -- and we also welcome motivated candidates willing to become certified.

Why this role matters

This is a high-impact, patient-facing caregiving role. You'll be a trusted presence in the home -- helping clients stay safe, comfortable, and independent. Your work directly supports quality of life for patients and peace of mind for their families. If you're energized by helping others, value one-on-one care, and want work that truly matters, this is a strong opportunity.

• Provide personal care support including bathing, grooming, dressing, oral hygiene, and toileting

• Use safety equipment properly (rails, supports, stools, etc.)
• Document care provided according to company and regulatory standards
• Travel reliably to patient homes and assigned visits across your service area
• Complete required in-service training, including annual dementia education

What success looks like

• On-time arrival and dependable attendance for assigned visits
• Accurate, timely care documentation
• Positive feedback from patients and families
• Completion of required certifications and training on schedule
• Strong communication with supervising nurse and care team

Must-have requirements

Nice-to-have

• 6+ months of caregiving or direct patient care experience
• Home health or home care experience
• CPR and Adult First Aid certification
• Experience supporting seniors or medically complex clients
• Experience working with dementia or memory care patients

Work environment & schedule

• One-on-one care in patient homes and occasional facility settings
• Flexible scheduling options may be available (full-time, part-time, PRN depending on market)
• Assignments may include homes with pets or smokers
• Travel within your preferred coverage area

Ideal candidate profile

You may be a great fit if you:

• Are licensed -- or motivated to become licensed
• Enjoy helping others and building trust with clients
• Are calm, respectful, and safety-focused
• Can handle sensitive or challenging situations professionally
• Are dependable and punctual
• Communicate clearly with patients, families, and nurses
