In-Home Caregiver–Up to $18/Hr.

Job Description

Do you enjoy building relationships and helping others thrive at home? Do you value serving those in need?

At AmanaCare, we provide faithful, personalized in-home assistance to seniors and disabled or recovering persons. We are seeking non-medical caregivers throughout Nebraska.

We offer:

• Immediate hours. We have current openings so you can start your first shift right away.
• Flexible scheduling. We schedule you with clients based on your availability, whether you are looking for two hours a week or forty.
• Resources to benefits. We can connect you with representatives for ComPro marketplace and Aflac supplemental insurance who can help you put together a plan that fits with your needs. Their offerings include health, life, dental, vision, and accidental policies.
• Competitive pay. Our wages are matched to experience and qualification, and are up to $3.00 above the eastern Nebraska average and 20% higher than the national average.
• Weekly paychecks, mailed or directly deposited every Friday.
• Paid on-the-job training. All initial training and shadowing is paid. No medical certification or prior experience is required–we coach you through the specifics of caring for each client individually.
• Paid travel. We pay for your time and your mileage for any commute that is 30 miles or farther. We also pay time and mileage for any errands or appointments within shifts, or for any drive from one client’s house to another.
• Room for advancement. We want to give you the resources you need to develop as a caregiver, including continued education. To this end, we offer five levels of advanced and specialty training through CareAcademy, and a $40 bonus for the completion of each one. We also offer up to a dollar increase in your normal wages within the first year of working, and access to a mentoring program. Experienced caregivers have the opportunity to talk with us about becoming a Team Lead–a special position which connects them more closely to the training and scheduling and mentoring of others.
• Holiday pay. We pay time-and-a-half for any major holidays you provide care on.
• Employee referral bonus. Refer a qualified candidate and, as a “thank you,” we’ll offer you a $150 referral bonus once the employee has been with us for 6 months–and another $150 when he or she has worked with us for a year.

This job is:

• A competitively paying job for those with experience in in-home or residential health care, or as paraprofessionals or direct support professionals: up to $18/hour.
• A good fit for someone entering the workforce, or someone who has been out of the workforce for the past 6 or more months.
• Ideal for college students, those with children, and older job seekers and retirees.

Core responsibilities include:

• Companionship
• Meal preparation
• Laundry
• Medication reminders
• Bathing assistance
• Dressing
• Light housekeeping
• Errands and transportation
• Transferring
• Pet assistance

To apply you must:

• Be 19 or older.
• Possess a high-school diploma or GED.
• Have a valid driver’s license and vehicle insurance.
• Have reliable transportation.
