In-Home Caregiver
About the role
You chose caregiving because you wanted to help people. Not just with daily tasks, but with the things those tasks make possible. A warm meal means someone can maintain their health. A ride to the grocery store means someone can continue living independently. A helping hand with personal care means someone can remain safely in the comfort of their own home. A conversation over coffee means someone feels connected rather than alone. You understand that caregiving is about much more than assistance. It's about dignity, independence, companionship, and quality of life.
At Wellspring Lutheran Services, we're looking for Personal Assistance Caregivers who are passionate about helping older adults and individuals with disabilities remain safe, independent, and connected to their communities. As a Personal Assistance Caregiver, you'll provide support in clients' homes, helping them navigate daily activities while preserving their independence and sense of self. Your work will allow individuals to remain where they are most comfortable, surrounded by familiar routines, treasured memories, and the communities they call home. Most importantly, you'll help people continue living life on their own terms.
What Your Impact Will Look Like
- Build meaningful relationships with clients and become someone they trust and look forward to seeing.
- Provide support with daily routines and personal care, helping individuals maintain dignity, comfort, and independence in their own homes.
- Create safe, welcoming home environments by assisting with housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, errands, and other everyday tasks that become more difficult with age or changing health needs.
- Offer companionship and encouragement, helping reduce isolation while supporting clients' emotional and social well-being.
- Observe changes, communicate concerns, and collaborate with your supervisor and team members to help ensure clients receive the support they need.
The Person We're Looking For
- Genuinely enjoy helping others.
- Patient, compassionate, and dependable.
- Understand the importance of treating every person with dignity and respect.
- Enjoy building relationships and creating positive experiences for others.
- Adaptable and comfortable supporting people with a variety of needs and personalities.
- Find fulfillment in knowing your work makes a difference every day.
- Believe independence and quality of life matter.
What You'll Bring
- High school diploma or equivalent preferred.
- Previous experience working with older adults or individuals with disabilities is preferred.
- Valid driver's license, good driving record, and proof of insurance for community travel.
- Ability to communicate effectively and work independently.
- A caring heart and commitment to serving others.
