$25/hr Float Caregiver – Guaranteed 25 Hours/Week

Paid Even If a Shift Cancels • Mileage $0.725/mile

Looking for steady pay you can count on, variety in your day, and a team that truly supports you?

Hands at Home Care Services is hiring Full-Time Caregivers in the Portland and surrounding areas. This is a guaranteed-hours position — if a client shift cancels, you still get paid.

If you’re dependable, compassionate, and like helping where you’re needed most, this role offers stability, flexibility, and respect for your time.


Why Caregivers Choose This Role

Guaranteed 25 hours/week — no lost income
$25/hour
Mileage paid at $0.725/mile
Paid training, shadowing, or office support if client hours fall short
Supportive scheduling & supervision — you’re never on your own
Variety without chaos — planned coverage and advance notice whenever possible


About the Role

As a Full-Time Caregiver, you’ll provide:

  • Personal care and assistance with daily activities

  • Companionship and light homemaking

  • Coverage support for clients when regular caregivers are unavailable

This role is ideal for caregivers who:

  • Enjoy variety and meeting different clients

  • Want reliable income without worrying about cancellations

When client hours are light, you’ll still be paid through training, shadowing, or support work to meet your weekly guarantee.

  • Mileage reimbursed at $0.725/mile


This Role Is a Great Fit If You…

✔ Are reliable and show up when scheduled
✔ Communicate clearly with clients and our team
✔ Are flexible and enjoy helping where needed
✔ Take pride in providing respectful, compassionate care

This Role May Not Be a Good Fit If You…

✘ Are looking for a single, fixed client only
✘ Prefer no travel between assignments
✘ Are unable to commit to a steady weekly schedule

(We include this so everyone’s time is respected.)
