Job summary

Front Porch of Bowdon in Bowdon, GA is hiring a Lead Caregiver for the second shift (Tue–Sat, 2:00 PM–10:30 PM). The role runs the floor, assigns resident care, covers breaks, trains new staff, and ensures charting and handoff are completed.

On-call duties rotate weekends with other Leads and include extra pay. You will carry your own resident assignments, provide hands-on care, observe changes in residents, and uphold care plans and facility policies.

Qualifications

• At least one year of hands‑on caregiving experience in assisted living, a personal care home, or a comparable setting.
• Willingness to take the on-call phone on a weekend rotation, including coming in to work a shift when coverage cannot be found.
• Dependable attendance on a set schedule that includes Saturdays.
• Willingness to provide hands‑on personal care, including toileting and incontinence care.
• Ability to stay calm and respectful with residents who are confused, agitated, or resistant, and to stay steady with coworkers on a hard night.
• Ability to stand and walk for the length of a shift and to assist with resident transfers and repositioning.
• Ability to read a care plan and to document care clearly in writing.
• Ability to pass a criminal background check and fingerprinting.
• CPR and Proxy Caregiver training within the first 30 days of hire.

Responsibilities

• Carry your own resident assignment and provide the same hands‑on personal care as every caregiver on the floor, including bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, incontinence care, transfers, and mobility.
• Make hall assignments at the start of the shift and make sure breaks get covered.
• Be the first point of contact on shift when something goes wrong, and raise what needs raising.
• Train and orient new caregivers, and hold the standard when someone is drifting from it.
• Make sure charting is complete and the written shift handoff happens before anyone leaves.
• Pass medications for your own residents under Proxy Caregiver rules, and own the medication side of the shift, including MAR accuracy, counts, reorders, and catching and reporting errors.
• Hold the on-call phone on a weekend rotation with the other Leads, coordinate coverage when someone calls out, and work the shift yourself if coverage cannot be found and we would fall below minimum staffing.
• Observe residents for changes in physical condition, behavior, skin integrity, and appetite, and report those changes to the appropriate person.
• Answer resident call lights promptly and either resolve the need or raise it.
• Keep resident rooms and common areas clean, safe, and free of hazards.
• Support residents living with dementia, including those who are confused, repetitive, or resistant to care.
• Follow resident care plans, facility policy, and applicable state regulations.
