Job Description

THE ROLE

Fair Oaks Estates is hiring a full-time evening Caregiver in Carmichael.

You’ll be the calm presence at the end of the day for our residents, helping them through dinner, evening routines, and settling in safely and comfortably for the night.

Evenings ask something particular of a caregiver. Late afternoon and dusk are when confusion and restlessness tend to rise in people with dementia, and with a memory care neighborhood here, that’s a real part of this shift. Someone who held it together all day may finally get tired and tearful. The work is less about rushing and more about steadiness: being unhurried, reassuring, and hard to rattle.

To be clear about scope: medications at Fair Oaks Estates are handled by our Med Techs, not by caregivers. Your job is direct resident care.

THE SCHEDULE: WHAT "4 ON, 2 OFF" ACTUALLY MEANS

If you haven’t worked this kind of rotation before, here’s how it works:

You work four days in a row. Then you get two days off. Then the pattern starts over. Four on, two off, continuously.

Because the cycle is six days long and a week is seven, your days off move through the calendar rather than landing on the same days every week. One cycle your days off might be Tuesday and Wednesday; the next they might be Monday and Tuesday; eventually they land on a weekend. Everyone on this rotation gets weekends off regularly. They just come around on a cycle instead of every week.

What this means for you in practice:

• You get a two-day break every six days, instead of working five straight and waiting for Saturday.
• You work about 20 days a month rather than the usual 22, for full-time hours.
• Your schedule lives in an app, not on a break room wall. You can see your rotation weeks ahead, pick up open shifts when you want extra hours, swap shifts directly with a coworker, and request time off from your phone.
• You will work some weekends and some holidays. We’re telling you that up front rather than letting you discover it later.
• Your mornings are yours. Nothing starts until 2:00 PM.

Shift hours: 2:00 PM to 10:30 PM.

Full-time, scheduled on a six-week rotation.

PAY

Starting pay: $16.90 per hour (California minimum wage)

Top of range: $17.90 per hour

Overtime: paid at time-and-a-half, per California law

Raises are based on performance, experience, and attendance, not on time served.

What You’ll Do

• Take a full handoff from the morning shift and pick up where they left off
• Assist with afternoon and evening personal care: toileting, incontinence care, grooming, oral and denture care, and dressing for bed
• Answer call lights within minutes
• Provide safe transfers and walking support, including gait belt, Hoyer lift, and two-person assists
• Tray service for dinner and evening snacks; assist residents to and from meals and with feeding as needed
• Support memory care residents through late-day restlessness and confusion with patience and redirection
• Alert the Med Tech or Care Managers promptly if a resident seems unwell, is in pain, or is refusing care
• Report any change in a resident’s condition immediately: weight, mood, falls, skin tears, bruises, or not eating
• Lead or support evening activities such as conversation, music, games, and a walk before dark
• Welcome and support family visitors, who most often come in the evening
• Guide bedtime routines and help residents settle comfortably and safely for the night
• Do final rounds and safety checks; make sure call systems, walkers, and water are within reach
• Keep rooms and common areas clean and safe; light housekeeping and laundry
• Document in Eldermark before the end of your shift
• Give a clear handoff to the overnight shift
• Respond calmly to falls, confusion, and behavioral changes, escalating per protocol

What We Offer

• A rotation you can build a life around. Four on, two off, visible weeks ahead in the scheduling app.
• Scheduling you control from your phone. Our app shows your rotation weeks out, lists open shifts you can pick up when you want extra hours, lets you swap shifts directly with a coworker, and handles time-off requests. No paper schedule taped to a wall, and no chasing down a manager to trade a day.
• Mornings free. Handle appointments, classes, or family in the first half of your day.
• The same residents every shift. You’ll learn who settles with music on and who just needs someone to sit down for a minute.
• Paid initial training. It covers ADLs, building and fire safety, emergency response, postural supports, and restricted health conditions, plus dementia care and hands-on shadowing.
• Paid continuing education every year, including dementia care.
• Health coverage for regular full-time employees. You’re eligible the first of the month after your 90-day anniversary.
• Paid sick leave for every employee, accrued at one hour for every 30 hours worked, and available to use after 90 days.
• Paid vacation for regular full-time employees after one year of continuous employment.
