Job description

Pay and Benefits:

We believe that our Personal Care Aides (PCA) are the heart of our business. Without you, we couldn’t build meaningful relationships with our clients, put a smile on their face or be the highlight of their day. It is hard to put a price on helping others but we know how important you are and value the impact you would make day in and day out for our clients. In taking this position, you would receive:

• Competitive pay
• Weekend shift differential
• Flexible schedules (Shifts can be arranged to fit your schedule)
• Weekly pay
• Mobile clock in/out
• Ongoing PAID training and development
