Job Description

Benefits:

• Competitive salary
• Flexible schedule
• Training & development

We believe that our caregivers are the heart of our business. Without you, we couldnt build meaningful relationships with our clients, put a smile on their face or be the highlight of their day. It is hard to put a price on helping others but we know how important you are and value the impact you would make day in and day out for our clients. In taking this position, you would receive:

• Competitive pay
• Flexible schedules (Shifts can be arranged to fit your schedule)
• Mobile clock in/out
• Work close to home (Serve seniors in your own community)
• Make a difference, develop meaningful relationships and meet new people
• Give back to those who need you most (our clients need you now more than ever before!)
• Extremely positive work environment
• Recognition, celebrations and great team interactions!

In this role, we stand prepared to equip you with the right personal protective equipment (PPE) and are ready to assist as you care for our vulnerable population of seniors and adults with disabilities.

What Youll Do and Who You Are:
The good news is that your training will teach you everything you need to know to succeed on the job. But there are a few character traits you should have from the get-go. We have a great work culture at Right at Home and look for people with a similar mindset:

Youre the honest, likable, energetic and approachable type, and are able to get along and verbally communicate easily with people at all levels. You listen well, have great decision making skills and are passionate about your customer focus. Youre never short of a smile and take real pride in your work by being resourceful, accountable, and adaptable and you cope well under pressure, take initiative and thrive on a challenge. Integrity is one of your core values as you do not ethically cut corners. You make a great first impression as you are professional and kind in your demeanor and approach.

You dont mind getting a little dirty this could include (but is not limited to) assisting the client with homemaking activities, such as vacuuming, dusting, sweeping or mopping floors, doing dishes, changing bed linens, laundry, and cleaning bathrooms in ways that provide satisfaction and extraordinary results. During each work shift, the Homemaker/Companion must spend less than 20% of his or her time on general household work.

You establish partner relationships with the client by providing companionship during activities such as accompanying client on walks, trips to social/recreational activities, assistance with hobbies, etc.

You dont have to be a gourmet chef but you can prepare a good meal, work your way around a kitchen and run to the grocery store, if needed.

• High school degree and/or a G.E.D. certificate
• The Homemaker Companion shall have successfully completed a written Competency Evaluation.
