Job Description: Homewatch CareGivers of Portland is hiring compassionate, experienced daytime caregivers for a hospice client in downtown Portland who needs dedicated, hands-on support. This is meaningful, hands-on work with a client who deserves consistency and real presence during a difficult chapter — not just task completion. We're building a small, dedicated day team for this case, and we're looking for caregivers who want to be part of that team from day one. About the client & the work:
  • Client is legally blind and currently needs help with toileting, standby assistance with sit-to-stand transitions, and support with walking
  • Full support with activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (iADLs)
  • Care needs will increase over time— this client is expected to transition to bed-bound care, so we're looking for caregivers comfortable growing with a case as needs intensify, not just handling today's level of care
  • Downtown Portland location; street parking available (costs reimbursed) if you drive, easily accessible by TriMet if you don'tShift:14-hour day shifts
  • We're building a small rotating team, so shifts are consistent and predictable once scheduled
What we're looking for:
  • Experience with mobility assistance, transfers, and personal care (toileting, hygiene, ADLs)
  • Comfort and compassion working with clients who are blind or have low vision
  • Prior hospice, end-of-life, or palliative care experience strongly preferred — this client's needs will become more intensive over time, and we want caregivers who are steady through that
Reliable, punctual, and committed to consistency — this client needs to be able to count on their teamCNA, HCA, or equivalent caregiving certification isnot required— compassionate, capable caregivers are welcome to apply. Certification is a plus and reduces our orientation/onboarding requirements if you have it, but it won't keep you from being considered if you don't. Ability to safely assist with physical transfers and mobility support (essential function of this role; reasonable accommodations considered where possible)
Why work with us:
  • Competitive, above-market pay
  • Small, dedicated care team — you'll know this client and be known by them, not rotated across dozens of cases
  • Support from our RN for delegation and clinical guidanceW-2 employment with a locally owned Portland home care agency
