Schedule: Day shifts ranging from 4 to 12 hours
Employment Opportunities: Full-time and part-time
Weekend Availability: May be required depending on client needs

Helping Hearts USA LLC is growing, and we are seeking compassionate, dependable and experienced caregivers to join our team.

Available daytime shifts range from 4 to 12 hours. Shift lengths, start times, end times and available days vary according to each client’s care plan, personal preferences and scheduling needs.

Applicants must provide their complete daytime availability so they can be considered for appropriate assignments. Once a caregiver accepts a permanent or temporary assignment, they must be able to work the complete scheduled shift consistently.

Important Pre-Interview Document Requirement

Applicants must possess and present physical copies of all required employment documents during the pre-interview document-verification process.

Applicants who do not have the required physical documents available will not be able to move forward in the interview and hiring process.

Digital screenshots, photographs or informal copies will not be accepted in place of required physical documents during formal verification.

For privacy and identity protection, applicants should not text or email photographs of their Social Security card, birth certificate or other sensitive identity documents. These documents must be presented through the secure verification process directed by Helping Hearts.
