About The Position

Home Care Network (HCN) is seeking compassionate, dependable, and experienced caregivers to join our team in a PRN (as-needed) capacity. This opportunity is ideal for healthcare professionals seeking supplemental income, schedule flexibility, or a pathway to future part-time or full-time opportunities. This is a PRN / As-Needed position only. Hours vary significantly from week to week, with no minimum number of hours guaranteed. Weekly earnings will vary based on client needs and available assignments. Shift opportunities are based entirely on client census, staffing needs, geographic location, caregiver availability, qualifications, and overall business demand. Willingness to travel to and from all client residences to provide care during scheduled, agreed-upon dates and times is required. Travel up to a 30-minute radius (from your home) is required, and willingness to cover clients up to a 45- or 60-minute radius is highly desired. This role is best suited for individuals who desire flexibility and can accommodate a schedule that changes based on client needs. Most available assignments occur during weekdays (Monday through Friday) with morning start times typically between 7:00 AM and 8:00 AM and afternoon/evening end times typically between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM. Shift lengths and schedules vary by client and assignment. Weekend opportunities may occasionally become available but are not guaranteed. After successfully completing approximately 30 days of employment, PRN caregivers may be considered for additional client assignments that could increase hours into a Part-Time or Full-Time schedule if desired by the employee. Increased hours are not guaranteed and are dependent upon client availability, business needs, geographic coverage requirements, employee performance, and staffing demands. Employees are never required to accept additional hours if they prefer to remain PRN. A successful Home Healthcare Aide provides personal care services under the direction of the Registered Nurse or Therapist in their region. You will be assigned to specific clients by the Registered Nurse or other appropriate professionals and perform services for clients as necessary to maintain personal comfort and safety in their home.
