HOYER LIFT Experience In-Home Caregiver – Daytime and Evening Shifts
Philadelphia, PA | $17–$22/hour based on experience and client needs plus incentives
We’re Looking for People We Can Count On.
If you’re an experienced caregiver who shows up, communicates, follows through, and takes pride in your work, we want to meet you.
At Griswold Home Care for Philadelphia Center City, our clients depend on us for consistency and peace of mind. That means we need caregivers who understand that reliability and communication are just as important as compassion.
We’re looking for experienced caregivers who want to build lasting relationships with clients and become trusted members of their care team.
This position may be a great fit if you:
- Have worked previously with clients who required a manual or mechanical Hoyer lift
- Have 2+ years of experience caring for older adults in a home care or facility setting
- Take your scheduled shifts seriously
- Arrive on time and are prepared to work
- Communicate promptly when an issue arises
- Are comfortable working independently in a client's home
- Follow care plans and office instructions
- Notice changes in a client's condition, mood, or needs and communicate them appropriately
- Take initiative rather than waiting to be told what needs to be done
- Treat clients, families, and coworkers with professionalism and respect
If you frequently cancel shifts, arrive late, or have difficulty communicating with an office team, this position is probably not the right fit.
Our clients deserve caregivers they can depend on, and our office team needs caregivers who communicate with us when something changes.
We don't expect perfection. We do expect honesty, accountability, and communication.
