How to Be Successful in the Role:

At Visiting Angels Tacoma, we are always looking for compassionate people to serve our clients with a caring heart. We take a personalized approach to home care that includes customized plans that can be adjusted and adapted over time. The same flexible philosophy extends to our scheduling options. Hourly visits, overnight stays, and 24/7 care are all possible through our Caregivers. Bring your passion and understanding of customer service, daily life skills, along with a "can do" approach and you will thrive in this role.  In this position you will work closely with our Case Managers and Caregiver Success Manager who supervise and support our Caregivers.  You must be able to work effectively and productively with others, with the ability to communicate with audiences of various social, cultural, ethnic, educational, and economic backgrounds, and maintain a courteous attitude toward the public and fellow employees, even in stressful and unpleasant situations.

Core Daily Responsibilities:

• Provide non-medical companion and personal care services, such as meal preparation, transportation, companionship, shopping, assisting with mobility, bathing, grooming, dressing, feeding, toileting, hygiene, and other reasonable requests within the guidelines set forth by the State of Washington Department of Health.
