What You'll Do

As a Nova Leap Home Health caregiver, you will provide personalized one-on-one support to clients in their homes. Depending on the client's individual care plan, responsibilities may include:

  • Assisting with bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene
  • Providing companionship and meaningful social interaction
  • Preparing nutritious meals
  • Assisting with walking, mobility, exercise, and safe transfers

Above all, you will help our clients maintain their independence, dignity, safety, and quality of life at home.

Who We're Looking For

Great caregivers are compassionate, dependable, patient, and committed to helping others.

Successful candidates should have:

  • A genuine desire to care for and support older adults
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills
  • Reliability and good judgment
  • The ability to follow an individualized client care plan
  • A valid driver's license
  • Reliable transportation and required automobile insurance
  • The ability to successfully complete required background screening
  • The ability to complete and maintain all Nova Leap Home Health required training and annual education

You'll Have Support

You are not alone when you are caring for a Nova Leap Home Health client. Our local team is available to provide guidance, training, and support so that you can feel confident in the care you provide.

Caregivers receive appropriate training before using specialized transfer equipment or assisting with specialized care tasks included in a client's care plan.

Make Your Work Matter

Home care is more than completing a list of tasks.

It's helping someone safely get ready for their day. It's preparing a meal, sharing a conversation, helping a family caregiver get some much-needed rest, or simply being the dependable person a client looks forward to seeing.

If you're looking for meaningful work with a growing home care organization that values the people providing the care, apply today.

We would love to learn more about you and the schedule you're looking for.
