In-Home Caregiver

Description

Do you enjoy building relationships and helping others thrive at home? Do you value serving those in need?

At AmanaCare, we provide faithful, personalized in-home assistance to seniors and disabled or recovering persons. We are seeking non-medical caregivers throughout Nebraska.

We offer:

• Paid health insurance. We cover all caregivers working 25 hours a week or more with individual indemnity health insurance. We can also offer partial payment for additional health insurance coverages, and for plans for spouses, children, and family.
• Competitive pay: up to $19/hour. Our wages are matched to experience and qualification, and are up to $3.00 above the eastern Nebraska average and 20% higher than the national average.
• Immediate hours. We have current openings so you can start your first shift right away.
• Flexible scheduling. We schedule you with clients based on your availability, whether you are looking for five hours a week or forty.
• Weekly paychecks, directly deposited every Friday.
• Paid on-the-job training. All initial training and shadowing is paid. No medical certification or prior experience is required: we coach you through the specifics of caring for each client individually.
• Room for advancement. We want to give you the resources you need to develop as a caregiver and beyond. To this end, we offer advanced and specialty training through online and hands-on learning that will help propel your career with AmanaCare.
• Holiday pay. We pay time-and-a-half for any major holidays you provide care on.
• Employee referral bonus. Refer a qualified candidate and, as a "thank you," we'll offer you a $150 referral bonus once the employee has been with us for 6 months--and another $150 when he or she has worked with us for a year.
• Emphasis on encouragement and communication. Our schedulers and coordinators want to know who you are, so they can support you in your needs and celebrate you in your accomplishments. In addition to normal day-to-day assistance, they hold monthly one-on-one meetings with all of their caregivers, to learn about them and to delve deeper into what they would like from their stay at AmanaCare.

This job is:

• A competitively paying job for those with experience in in-home or residential health care, or who have worked as a CNA, med aide, case worker, paraprofessional, registered behavior technician, or direct support professional.
• A good fit for someone entering the workforce, or someone who has been out of the workforce for the past 6 or more months.
• Ideal for college students, those with children, and older job seekers and retirees.

Core responsibilities include:

• Companionship
• Meal preparation
• Laundry
• Medication reminders
• Bathing assistance
• Dressing
• Light housekeeping
• Errands and transportation
• Transferring
• Pet assistance

To apply you must:

• Be 19 or older.
• Possess a high-school diploma or GED.
• Have a valid driver’s license and vehicle insurance.
• Have reliable transportation.
