Why This Position?

Caregiving is an opportunity to make a real, lasting impact on someone’s day-to-day life. By helping our client feel safe, comfortable, and supported, you will be part of a critical support system that preserves their well-being and independence. This role is especially suited to individuals who:

• Enjoy the quieter pace of evenings and late nights
• Like planning ahead (particularly for transportation)
• Are committed to consistency and reliability
• Find fulfillment in making a genuine difference

If you’re ready to dedicate your time, compassion, and skills to helping someone thrive at home, we’d love to meet you!

Position Details

• Location: East Liberty, Pittsburgh
• Schedule: 4:00 p.m. – 11:59 p.m., 40 hours per week
• Client Needs:
• Assistance with evening routines (such as meal preparation, light housekeeping, and personal care)
• Monitoring of health and safety throughout the shift
• Proper use of a Hoyer lift (or willingness to be trained) for safe transfers
• Companionship, reassurance, and kindness
• Transportation Note:
• Public transportation (bus) is available to the client’s location in East Liberty. However, please be aware that buses in this area stop running around 10:00 p.m.
• Because your shift ends at 11:59 p.m., you must have your own reliable transportation or another plan in place to get home safely after the final bus has stopped running.

Responsibilities

As a caregiver, you will play a vital role in maintaining our client’s quality of life. Specific responsibilities include:

• Personal Care Assistance
• Supporting the client with grooming, bathing, dressing, and toileting if needed
• Ensuring medication reminders are followed accurately and on time
• Hoyer Lift Operation
• Safely transferring the client using a Hoyer lift
• If you have never used a Hoyer lift before, we offer training to ensure you feel confident and skilled in handling mobility support
• Household Tasks
• Preparing or assisting with dinner and light evening snacks
• Washing dishes, wiping down surfaces, and taking out small amounts of trash if needed
• Keeping the immediate living area clean, organized, and safe
• Companionship
• Engaging in warm, friendly conversation to brighten the client’s evening
• Providing emotional support, reassurance, and a sense of security
• Nightly Wrap-Up
• Helping the client settle in for the night, including bedtime routines if applicable
• Ensuring the home is secure before leaving (e.g., locking doors, turning off unnecessary lights)

Qualifications

We believe that empathy, reliability, and a passion for helping others are often more important than any official credentials. That said, please review the following qualifications to ensure this role is a match:

• Desire to Learn or Existing Experience with a Hoyer Lift
• If you’re not already trained, we will provide the necessary instruction, but a willingness to learn and practice safe transfers is essential.
• Personal Transportation After 10:00 p.m.
• Because local buses stop running at around 10:00 p.m., you must have a reliable way to return home at the end of your shift.
• Interpersonal Skills
• Respectful communication, patience, and kindness are critical. You should be able to calmly manage situations that arise during an evening routine.
• Physical Capability
• The role involves assisting with transfers and performing light housekeeping tasks, so you must be comfortable with moderate physical activity.
• Professionalism and Dependability
• Punctuality and the ability to maintain confidentiality (following HIPAA guidelines) are absolutely necessary.

What We Offer

We value our caregivers and aim to provide a positive, supportive environment in which you can thrive:

• Immediate Start
• We understand the urgency of filling this position for our client’s well-being, so we’re prepared to bring you on board as soon as possible.
• Paid Training

• Team-Oriented Culture
• We encourage open communication and mutual respect. Our supervisors and office staff are always here to support you if any questions or concerns arise.
• Flexible Opportunities for Growth
• Whether you’re seeking to deepen your caregiving skills or move into other roles within the organization, we offer support and encouragement for your professional development.
