NOW HIRING: EXPERIENCED CAREGIVER – BEDBOUND CLIENT

Hoyer Lift Experience Required | $17–$19/Hour | 12-Hour Shifts

Helping Hearts USA LLC is looking for an experienced, dependable, compassionate, and energetic caregiver to join our care team and provide one-on-one support for a fully bedbound client.

This is a hands-on total-care assignment, not a basic companionship position. We need someone who is confident providing personal care, understands the responsibilities involved in caring for a fully dependent client, has Hoyer lift experience, and takes reliability, professionalism, compassion, and client dignity seriously.

CNA certification or a higher healthcare credential is a PLUS, but it is NOT required. Experienced caregivers without a CNA certification are encouraged to apply if they have strong, verifiable hands-on caregiving experience.

We are looking for someone who wants to become a consistent and trusted member of the client's care team, not someone looking for occasional or inconsistent shifts.

PAY & AVAILABLE SHIFTS

Pay: $17.00–$19.00 per hour, based on experience, qualifications, credentials, availability, and assignment requirements.

Day Shift: 7:00 AM–7:00 PM

Night Shift: 7:00 PM–7:00 AM

Night shift is an AWAKE overnight position. NO SLEEPING is permitted.

WEEKEND AVAILABILITY IS REQUIRED

Applicants must be consistently available to work at least one weekend day each week.

Saturday availability is strongly preferred.

We are seeking caregivers who can commit to a dependable, ongoing schedule. Your availability will be discussed and confirmed during the hiring process.

Once you accept a recurring client schedule, you are expected to maintain that commitment. This position is not appropriate for applicants whose availability changes frequently after accepting an assignment.

CLIENT CARE RESPONSIBILITIES

• Providing continuous supervision, safety monitoring, and companionship throughout the scheduled shift.

• Providing complete assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs).

• Performing thorough bed baths and maintaining the client's personal hygiene.

• Assisting with grooming, oral hygiene, dressing, hair care, and shaving as required.

• Providing prompt and thorough incontinence and perineal care.

• Regularly checking the client for wet or soiled briefs and providing care promptly to maintain cleanliness, comfort, dignity, and skin integrity.

• Repositioning the client according to the established care plan to maintain comfort and reduce prolonged pressure.

• Safely operating a Hoyer lift and other approved transfer equipment according to the client's individualized care plan.

• Assisting with approved transfers between the bed, wheelchair, recliner, or other designated areas.

• Following all established transfer, mobility, and positioning precautions.

• Observing the client's skin during personal care and immediately reporting redness, irritation, bruising, swelling, skin breakdown, or other changes.

• Preparing appropriate meals and snacks according to the client's established dietary instructions and preferences.

• Providing feeding assistance when required.

• Offering and encouraging fluids regularly according to the client's care plan.

• Monitoring food and fluid intake and reporting significant concerns or changes.

• Providing permitted non-medical medication reminders and assistance according to the established care plan and agency policy.

• Monitoring for changes in the client's behavior, cognition, mobility, appetite, hydration, elimination, sleep patterns, skin condition, or overall well-being.

• Immediately reporting changes in condition, incidents, or safety concerns to management.

• Changing sheets and bedding and maintaining a clean, dry, sanitary, and comfortable sleeping environment.

• Completing client laundry, including clothing, towels, washcloths, sheets, and bedding.

• Performing routine light housekeeping and maintaining the client's bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and commonly used areas.

• Keeping the client's care supplies and environment clean, sanitary, and appropriately organized.

• Properly disposing of trash and used personal-care supplies.

• Providing meaningful companionship and appropriate engagement while respecting the client's preferences, privacy, dignity, and independence.

• Completing all required electronic documentation, care tasks, shift notes, and change-of-condition reporting accurately and on time.

EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS

CNA certification is NOT required.

CNA certification or a higher-level healthcare credential is strongly preferred and considered a plus.

Applicants without a CNA certification may still be considered if they have strong and verifiable professional caregiving experience.

We are specifically looking for applicants with experience providing care involving:

• Fully bedbound or significantly mobility-impaired clients.

• Total-assistance or high-care-needs clients.

• Bathing and bed baths.

• Incontinence and perineal care.

• Repositioning and bed mobility.

• Hoyer lift transfers.

• Gait belts and other approved transfer equipment.

• Dressing and grooming.

• Feeding assistance.

• Meal preparation.

• Dementia or cognitive impairment when applicable.

• Maintaining client safety throughout extended shifts.

HOYER LIFT EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED

Previous hands-on Hoyer lift experience is required for this particular assignment.

Applicants must be comfortable safely following an established transfer plan and using approved transfer equipment.

Simply stating that you are familiar with a Hoyer lift may not be sufficient. Applicants should be prepared to discuss their previous hands-on experience, and competency may be verified before independent placement.

VERIFIABLE EMPLOYMENT HISTORY & PROFESSIONAL REFERENCES

We are looking for caregivers with a demonstrated history of reliability, professionalism, and job commitment.

Applicants must be prepared to provide:

• A complete five-year employment history when requested.

• Verifiable previous caregiving employment and experience.

• Professional references from previous employers, supervisors, facilities, agencies, nurses, or other appropriate professional sources.

• References who can speak to your reliability, attendance, professionalism, caregiving abilities, communication, and work performance.
