Make a Difference Close to Home

At Home Instead, we believe the best care is about more than checking tasks off a list. It's about helping older adults feel safe, respected, independent, and connected to the lives they love.

We're looking for compassionate, dependable Caregivers and Care Professionals to join our growing team serving seniors throughout the Dubuque Tri-State area.

Some of our clients are lifelong farmers who enjoy a good home-cooked meal and friendly conversation. Others are retired professionals who value their independence, familiar routines, and a caregiver who knows when to lend a hand and when to give them space.

Every home is different. Every person has a story. And the right Care Pro can make an incredible difference.

If you're someone who takes pride in showing up, enjoys helping others, and believes the little things matter, we'd love to meet you.

• • Daytime shifts: Between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM

  • Evening shifts: Select opportunities between 4:00 PM and 9:00 PM

Weekend availability is especially valuable!
