NOW HIRING: Per Diem PSS (Personal Support Specialist) – Increased Pay + Flexible Hours + Weekly Pay! Hands At Home Care Services | Multiple Locations in Maine

Are you a compassionate and reliable caregiver looking for more flexibility, better pay, and the chance to make a real impact—starting right away? Join Hands At Home Care Services as a Per Diem PSS and start picking up shifts that work with your schedule!

We’re Maine’s trusted provider of high-quality, non-medical home care, and we’re urgently looking for certified PSS staff to help meet the immediate needs of our clients.

Why This Role Might Be Perfect for You:

  • Higher Pay Rates – Just Increased! We know your time and energy are valuable. Get paid what you're worth.
  • Full Flexibility – Pick up as many or as few shifts as you want. Weekdays, weekends, evenings—we work around you.
  • Fast-Start Availability – Many shifts are available now and need coverage urgently.
  • Willing to Drive? Even Better! If you’re open to traveling 30 minutes to 1.5 hours, we have clients waiting and hours ready for you. We reimburse mileage and travel.
  • Weekly Pay + Next Day Pay Option – Choose what works best for your budget.

  • Training & Education Support – Grow your career while making a difference.

What to Expect: Short-Term Commitment with Long-Term Options

Many of our clients are just starting services, and we need dependable caregivers to help get them off the ground and stable. Once that happens, we’ll transition a permanent caregiver into the role.

  • Want to stay with the client permanently? You’ll have the option to do so.
  • Prefer to stay flexible and per diem? That works too.

We simply ask for a short-term commitment to help the client adjust and get the care they need at the beginning.

Why Join Hands at Home Care Services?

  • Ongoing support from supervisors and scheduling staff
  • Opportunities for professional growth and advancement

  • Meaningful work that directly impacts the lives of others

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
