When assisting clients with daily needs, our caregivers are the heart and soul of our home care agency! Our team includes caregivers with diverse backgrounds and experience, but we see it as a strength as we all share the same goal: to provide compassionate home care for our clients.
We are looking for local, experienced caregivers to join our team at Assisting Hands Home Care. Those who live in Arlington Heights, Wheeling, Prospect Heights, Mount Prospect, or Des Plaines will be the best fit as we believe in matching clients with caregivers who live nearby!
When applying as a caregiver, there are two career paths to follow:
Track 1: Caregivers
Many caregivers start their career after working as a family caregiver for a loved one. Now making it a career, this may be the best job for you if you love helping others!
There are multiple personality traits we look for in prospect caregivers that include the following:
- Interpersonal skills
- Cooking skills
- Being responsible
- Effective communication
If you possess these traits, we would love to talk to you! Once hired, you will attend an 8-hour training session and be paired with an entry-level case to start.
Track 2: CNA-Qualified Caregiver
Certified Nursing Assistants, or CNAs, who have experience working in hospitals and nursing homes have a lot of potential when switching to a home care agency. Instead of working with a number of patients, you will work one-on-one with a client to help them with their needs. These cases allow you to build a relationship with the care recipient as they will see you as a companion.
Assisting Hands Home Care offers a variety of cases and flexible hours for CNA-qualified caregivers in Mount Prospect, Wheeling, Arlington Heights, Prospect Heights, and Des Plaines, IL. After being hired and passing the training session, CNAs will assist clients with Activities of Daily Living, including bathing, eating, transfer assistance, continence care, and dressing.
