What You’ll 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:
Does this sound like you? You’re 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. If you are 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 are needed to provide various personal and paraprofessional services in accordance with an established plan of care. You will provide for the needs and comfort of clients in their homes or facilities where they reside and be responsible for a range of duties (dependent upon your skill level and client need):
- light housekeeping
- meal preparation
- medication reminders
- transportation: taking clients to doctor appointments , social engagements, or on errands
Qualifications:
- High school degree and/or a G.E.D. certificate
- Six months experience preferred for all caregivers
- Must have a sympathetic attitude toward the care of the sick, and ability to deal effectively with the demands of the job

- Meets the requirements for employees providing direct patient care
- As a companion, you must be able read, write, speak and understand English as needed for the job
- Caregivers must have a valid driver’s license and use of an insured automobile for work or access to adequate transportation
Experience is a plus, but the desire to make a difference for our clients and willingness to learn is the key.
We truly believe that where you work matters, and as a company that believes in improving the lives of those we serve, we think we know a thing or two about what makes our employees happy.
