Caregiver PM SHIFT 2 PM-10:30 PM

Fair Oaks Estates • Carmichael, CA

2d • $17 - $18 • Onsite

About The Position

Fair Oaks Estates is hiring a full-time evening Caregiver at its locally owned assisted living and memory care community in Carmichael, California. The role provides direct resident care during the 2:00 PM–10:30 PM shift, supporting residents through dinner, evening routines, and settling safely and comfortably for the night. Caregivers work with the same residents over time and are expected to provide patient, reassuring support, particularly for residents with dementia who may experience late-day confusion or restlessness. Medication duties are handled by Med Techs, not caregivers.

The schedule follows a continuous four-days-on, two-days-off rotation. Days off rotate through the week, so employees work some weekends and holidays but receive weekends off regularly. Schedules are managed through an app that allows employees to view upcoming rotations, pick up open shifts, swap shifts, and request time off. The position includes paid initial training and annual paid continuing education. Compensation is listed as $16.90–$18.00 per hour, with overtime paid at time-and-a-half according to California law.

The position is based at Fair Oaks Estates, 8845 Fair Oaks Boulevard, Carmichael, CA 95608. Caregivers report to the Resident Care Director and Resident Care Coordinators. Scrubs and low-heeled, closed-toe, slip-resistant shoes are required and supplied by the employee. Cell phones are not permitted on the floor, and there is a mandatory monthly staff meeting.
