Caregiver PM SHIFT 2 PM-10:30 PM

Fair Oaks Estates • Carmichael, CA

20h • $17 - $18 • Onsite

About The Position

Fair Oaks Estates is hiring a full-time evening Caregiver in Carmichael. You will be the calm presence at the end of the day for our residents, helping them through dinner, evening routines, and settling in safely and comfortably for the night. Evenings ask something particular of a caregiver. Late afternoon and dusk are when confusion and restlessness tend to rise in people with dementia, and with a memory care neighborhood here, that’s a real part of this shift. The work is less about rushing and more about steadiness: being unhurried, reassuring, and hard to rattle. Medications at Fair Oaks Estates are handled by our Med Techs, not by caregivers. Your job is direct resident care.

• 18 years or older, authorized to work in the United States
• Fingerprint clearance through Community Care Licensing, completed before your first day
• A health screening and TB test from a licensed physician, completed before your first day
• A valid First Aid card which must be kept current. Cards renew every two years.
• Scrubs on the floor, plus low-heeled, closed-toe, slip-resistant shoes. You supply your own.
• Able to assist another caregiver in transferring residents weighing 100 to 250 pounds, daily, and to stay on your feet through a full shift
• Comfortable providing hands-on personal care, including toileting and incontinence care
• Reliable transportation to Carmichael, including a safe way home after 10:30 PM

• Support memory care residents through late-day restlessness and confusion with patience and redirection

Benefits

• A rotation you can build a life around. Four on, two off, visible weeks ahead in the scheduling app.
• Scheduling you control from your phone. Our app shows your rotation weeks out, lists open shifts you can pick up when you want extra hours, lets you swap shifts directly with a coworker, and handles time-off requests. No paper schedule taped to a wall, and no chasing down a manager to trade a day.
• Mornings free. Handle appointments, classes, or family in the first half of your day.
• The same residents every shift. You’ll learn who settles with music on and who just needs someone to sit down for a minute.
• Paid initial training. It covers ADLs, building and fire safety, emergency response, postural supports, and restricted health conditions, plus dementia care and hands-on shadowing.
• Paid continuing education every year, including dementia care.
• Health coverage for regular full-time employees. You’re eligible the first of the month after your 90-day anniversary.
• Paid sick leave for every employee, accrued at one hour for every 30 hours worked, and available to use after 90 days.
• Paid vacation for regular full-time employees after one year of continuous employment.
