Job description

Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) - Home Care

Nova Leap Home Health - WEEKLY PAY, PAID TIME OFF, 401K

Bring Your CNA Skills to One-on-One Care

Are you a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) looking for a more personal way to make a difference?

Nova Leap Home Health is seeking compassionate and reliable CNAs to provide individualized care and support to older adults in their own homes. Instead of caring for multiple residents at once in a facility setting, home care gives you the opportunity to focus your attention on one client at a time.

We offer flexible scheduling, a supportive local team, and opportunities to build meaningful relationships with the people you care for.

Full-time and part-time opportunities are available.

Why Work in Home Care?

Your CNA training can make an enormous difference in helping an older adult remain safely at home.

Working with Nova Leap Home Health gives you the opportunity to:

• Provide personalized, one-on-one care
• Develop meaningful relationships with clients and families
• Work more independently while having support from our local care team
• Choose from a variety of available schedules
• Work close to home whenever client availability allows
• Continue developing your caregiving skills through training and support
• Help clients maintain their independence, dignity, and quality of life

What You'll Do

As a CNA with Nova Leap Home Health, you will provide care based on each client's individualized care plan. Your responsibilities may include:

• Assisting with bathing, dressing, grooming, and personal hygiene
• Providing toileting and incontinence care
• Assisting with walking, mobility, positioning, and transfers
• Preparing meals and assisting with nutrition and hydration
• Providing companionship and social engagement
• Supporting clients with activities of daily living
• Providing medication reminders and permitted assistance with self-administration
• Accompanying clients to appointments and errands
• Providing respite support to family caregivers
• Monitoring the client's general condition and well-being
• Recognizing and reporting changes in physical, cognitive, or behavioral condition
• Maintaining a safe and comfortable environment in the client's home
• Following established care plans and safety procedures
• Assisting with specialized care activities when permitted and after appropriate training

Most importantly, you'll be a dependable and reassuring presence for clients and families who have chosen to receive care at home.

What We’re Looking For

We're looking for CNAs who understand that exceptional care is about more than completing tasks. It requires patience, professionalism, communication, and genuine respect for the people we serve.

Preferred qualifications include:

• Current CNA certification
• Experience working with older adults
• Home care, assisted living, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, or similar caregiving experience
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Dependability and professionalism
• Ability to work independently in a client's home
• Ability to recognize and communicate changes in a client's condition
• Valid driver's license
• Reliable transportation and appropriate automobile insurance
• Ability to meet Nova Leap Home Health training and continuing education requirements
• Ability to successfully complete required employment and background screening

A Different Kind of CNA Experience

If you enjoy being a CNA but want the opportunity to spend more time focused on the individual you're caring for, home care may be the right fit.

At Nova Leap Home Health, our goal is to help clients remain safe, independent, and connected to the homes and communities they love. Our CNAs play an important role in making that possible.

Whether you're looking for a primary position or additional hours around your existing schedule, we'd like to hear from you.
