• Clear communication and attention to residents’ daily care needs
• Ability to assist with lifting and transfers and stay on your feet throughout a shift
• Reliable transportation and flexibility to work weekends and holidays
• Ability to pass a background check and drug screening

• Day shift: 7 a.m.–3 p.m.
• Evening shift: 3 p.m.–11 p.m.
• Overnight shift: 11 p.m.–7 a.m.

The home provides 24-hour awake staffing. Caregivers must remain awake and alert throughout their shift, including overnight.
