Job description

Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) | Resident Care & Daily Living Support Covenant Skilled Nursing & Rehab at Wellspring

Full-time, Part-time | Hourly $19.40 - $20.38 + shift differential

You didn’t choose healthcare because you wanted to complete tasks on a checklist. You chose this work because you care about people. You understand that some of life's most meaningful moments happen in the quiet parts of the day—a reassuring conversation during breakfast, helping someone get ready for a family visit, walking alongside a resident who is working to regain strength, or simply taking the time to listen when someone needs a friend. You know that dignity lives in the little things. At Covenant Skilled Nursing & Rehab at Wellspring, we’re looking for Certified Nursing Assistants who believe that compassionate care has the power to brighten someone’s day and improve their quality of life.

As a CNA, you’ll be one of the people residents trust most. You’ll get to know their stories, preferences, routines, and goals. You’ll help them maintain their independence whenever possible while providing the support they need to live comfortably and confidently. Because our Transitional Care Center operates with a Universal Worker model, you’ll do more than provide direct care. You’ll help create a welcoming, comfortable environment through meal service, housekeeping, laundry support, and other services that help residents feel at home. Most importantly, you’ll play a hands‑on role in helping residents feel valued, respected, and cared for every single day.

What Your Impact Will Look Like

• You help residents with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, dining, mobility, and other personal care needs while protecting their dignity and independence.
• You develop meaningful relationships with residents and families, learning what matters most to them and helping create a positive experience every day.
• You notice the small changes that can make a big difference, observing residents closely and communicating important information to the nursing team.
• You support resident comfort by answering call lights promptly, assisting with appointments and activities, and ensuring residents feel safe, heard, and cared for.
• You help maintain a clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment through light housekeeping, laundry services, meal support, and other tasks that contribute to residents’ overall well‑being.
• You participate in admissions and transitions, helping new residents and families feel welcomed and supported as they begin their journey with us.
• Some days you’ll be helping a resident prepare for therapy. Other days you’ll be sharing stories over a meal, celebrating progress with a family member, or providing comfort after a difficult day.

The Caregiver We’re Looking For

You believe every person deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and compassion. You find purpose in helping others maintain their independence and quality of life. You enjoy building relationships and getting to know the people you serve. You understand that excellent care includes both the clinical and personal aspects of someone’s day. You are dependable, compassionate, and committed to being part of a team. You recognize that even small acts of kindness can have a lasting impact.

Qualifications

• Current Michigan Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) certification, or the ability to obtain certification within four months of hire.
• High school diploma or equivalent preferred.
• Previous caregiving or related experience, preferred.
• Ability to work collaboratively with residents, families, and team members to provide exceptional care.
