Palliative care is not about giving up — it’s about showing up.
It focuses on comfort, dignity, symptom relief, and quality of life for individuals living with serious illness — and support for the families walking alongside them.

We are seeking an experienced, compassionate caregiver who understands that palliative care is as much about presence and listening as it is about hands-on care.

  • Referral Incentives: Benefit from referral bonuses.
  • Consistent Assignments: Build enduring client relationships through ongoing shifts.
  • Meaningful Impact: Make a significant difference in the lives of individuals coping with medical conditions and age-related challenges.
Responsibilities:
  • Assist with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs):
    • Provide gentle, respectful assistance with bathing, grooming, dressing, and personal hygiene, prioritizing comfort, dignity, and the client’s preferences.
    • Assist with mobility, transfers, ambulation, and positioning, with close attention to pain levels, fatigue, and energy conservation.
    • Adapt care routines based on daily condition changes, honoring comfort-focused goals of care. 
  • Medication Reminders:
    • Provide accurate and timely medication reminders according to prescribed schedules, with awareness of pain management and symptom-control regimens.
    • Support clients in maintaining calm, consistent medication routines and observe for changes in comfort, side effects, or response.
    • Promptly communicate concerns or notable changes to the care team. 
  • Meal Preparation and Nutrition:  
    • Assist with meal planning and preparation while adhering to dietary requirements, appetite changes, and comfort needs.
    • Monitor and gently encourage nutrition and hydration, understanding that intake may fluctuate as illness progresses.
    • Observe and report changes in appetite, swallowing ability, tolerance, or nausea. 
  • Companionship and Social Interaction: 
    • Provide calm, attentive companionship, engaging in meaningful conversation when welcomed and offering quiet, supportive presence when preferred.
    • Support emotional well-being by listening with empathy and providing reassurance during moments of anxiety, fatigue, or vulnerability.
    • Accompany clients to appointments and social activities as appropriate, supporting both the client and family with professionalism and compassion. 
  • Health Monitoring: 
    • Observe and report changes in physical comfort, pain levels, breathing, mobility, mood, cognition, or overall condition.
    • Recognize signs of symptom escalation or decline and communicate observations clearly and promptly to the care team.
    • Document care provided, comfort measures, and any notable observations to support continuity of care and palliative care goals.
  • Family Communication & Collaboration:
    • Communicate with family members in a clear, compassionate, and professional manner, recognizing the emotional complexity that often accompanies serious illness.
    • Provide appropriate updates regarding care routines, comfort, and observations, while maintaining professional boundaries and respecting the established plan of care.
    • Listen with empathy to family concerns and questions, offering reassurance and support without providing medical advice beyond the caregiver role.
    • Promptly relay changes, concerns, or family feedback to the care team to ensure coordinated, responsive care.
    • Support a calm, respectful care environment by navigating family dynamics with discretion, emotional maturity, and professionalism. 
Qualifications:
  •  Be willing to work as part of a responsive care team, with occasional short notice scheduling to support families in need

U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Information (Completion is voluntary)

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

You are being given the opportunity to provide the following information in order to help us comply with federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action record keeping, reporting, and other legal requirements.

Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.

How do you know if you have a disability?

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.
