Professional Caregiver (Private Duty Home Care)

Hoover, AlabamaFull-time
$14 - $15 hourly
About the Job
Professional Caregiver (Private Duty Home Care)
Birmingham Metro Area, AL
(Birmingham, Hoover, Vestavia Hills, Homewood, Pelham, Alabaster & surrounding communities)

Compensation: $14.00–$15.00+/hour based on reliability and shift type
Schedule Options: Consistent part-time and full-time cases available (1–12 hour shifts)
Preferred Availability: Weekdays, evenings, and weekend schedules

About This Opportunity:
We are a professional, relationship-driven home care provider serving families throughout the Birmingham Metro area.

We deliver personalized, one-on-one, non-medical care that allows clients to remain safely and confidently in their homes. Our caregivers are carefully selected professionals who understand that this is more than a job — it is a responsibility.

If you take pride in reliability, professionalism, and compassionate service, we invite you to apply.

What You’ll Do:
You will provide high-quality, dignified support tailored to each client’s care plan, including:
  • Assistance with Activities of Daily Living (bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, mobility support).
  • Meaningful companionship and engagement.
  • Meal preparation and nutritional support.
  • Light housekeeping directly related to client care.
  • Transportation to appointments or errands (as needed).
  • Accurate documentation and proactive communication with the care team.
  • Observing and reporting changes in condition.

This is non-medical private duty care. No skilled nursing or clinical procedures are required unless separately licensed and authorized.

The Type of Professional We’re Looking For:
We hire caregivers who:
  • Show up on time — every time.
  • Communicate clearly and respectfully.
  • Maintain appropriate professional boundaries.
  • Understand the importance of privacy and confidentiality.
  • Take initiative while honoring the care plan.
  • Represent our company with integrity inside clients’ homes.

This role is best suited for individuals who view caregiving as meaningful work — not temporary filler employment.

What We Are NOT:
To ensure the right mutual fit, please note:
  • We are not a hospital or nursing facility — this is one-on-one in-home care.
  • We are not a gig-based app — consistency and accountability are required.
  • We are not a “sit and supervise” role — engagement and attentiveness matter.
  • We are not a medical staffing agency — this position focuses on personal care and companionship.
  • We are not seeking short-term availability only.

Qualifications:
  • 18+ with high school diploma/GED or relevant experience.
  • Prior caregiver, CNA, HHA, PCA, DSP, or senior care experience preferred.
  • Reliable transportation and willingness to travel within the Birmingham Metro.
  • Valid Driver's License and Insurance are a must.
  • Smartphone proficiency for scheduling and care notes.
  • Ability to assist with mobility and remain active during shifts.
  • Clear background screening.

Dementia or memory care experience is strongly valued.

What You Can Expect From Us:
We believe strong caregivers deserve strong support:
  • Structured onboarding and orientation.
  • Consistent scheduling whenever possible.
  • Respectful communication from office staff.
  • Professional standards that protect both you and our clients.
  • Opportunity to grow with a stable, locally focused company.

Our Commitment:
We hire carefully. We support intentionally.
 We care deeply about the families who trust us — and the caregivers who represent us.

If you are dependable, compassionate, and take pride in your work, we would value the opportunity to meet you.
