What are the responsibilities and job description for the Direct Support Providers/Caregivers- Afternoons position at CareGivers Plus?
CareGivers Plus Home Health Care was the Valley's 1st independent home care company established in 1994. Our 30 years serving our Valley seniors and respected reputation means we have a continuous flow of clients and consistent hours that we can offer our caregivers. We create flexible custom work schedules for each team member. Our caregivers tell us when they are available to work.
Immediate openings for mid-day/afternoon hours with client in need of services starting about lunchtime and into the early evening. These are not set shifts and still have flexibility as to the final hours that work best for you. Clients are located in Sharon through Eastern Hermitage areas. We sometimes visit with more than one client during the day, so a valid driver's license and your own transportation is a must.
Previous experience is great but not required and training is available. If you want to help others, we welcome you!
