About the Role

As a Float Caregiver, you’ll provide essential care and companionship to clients in their homes. You'll fill in when other caregivers are unavailable—due to vacations, illness, or last-minute call-offs—and sometimes help with training or observations when client shifts aren't available.

You’ll be guaranteed full-time hours, even if you're not scheduled with clients every hour. When not in the field, you’ll assist with light office support, training, or shadowing new caregivers. Refusing or missing shifts, will affect guaranteed hours.
