Now Hiring – Morning, Afternoon & Evening Caregivers in Kent, CT

SVNA Home Assistance is looking for compassionate, dependable, and experienced caregivers to join our growing team!

We currently have several clients in the Kent, CT area who need reliable caregivers for companionship, daily living assistance, and support with maintaining their independence at home.

We are looking for individuals who enjoy working one-on-one with seniors, building meaningful relationships, and making a positive difference in someone's daily life.

Experience working with seniors who have memory loss, cognitive decline, or dementia is especially valuable for these assignments.

We have ongoing opportunities for caregivers who can consistently cover any of the following shifts:

• Morning: 8:00 AM-1:00 PM

• Late Morning / Early Afternoon: 10:30 AM-1:30 PM

• Evening: 5:00 PM-9:00 PM

These shifts are available with multiple clients throughout the Kent area.

We welcome applicants interested in one shift, multiple shifts, or additional hours throughout the week.

Weekend availability is strongly preferred.

Our goal is to provide clients with consistent, dependable caregivers while helping our employees build schedules that work with their availability.

Care needs vary by client, but responsibilities may include:

• Providing companionship, conversation, and emotional support.

• Assisting seniors experiencing memory loss or cognitive changes with gentle reminders and redirection.

• Encouraging independence and participation in daily activities.

• Accompanying clients on walks, outdoor activities, and social outings.

• Providing transportation to appointments, errands, shopping, or lunch when requested and authorized.

• Assisting with meal preparation, heating meals, and encouraging proper nutrition.

• Assisting with personal care, including bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting, when required by the client's care plan.

• Monitoring safety and communicating any changes or concerns to the office.

• Building trusting relationships with clients who may be hesitant to accept assistance.

We are looking for individuals who understand that providing care is about more than completing a list of tasks.

Some clients may require hands-on assistance, while others simply need someone who can gently encourage them, provide companionship, and help them feel safe and comfortable in their own home.

Ideal candidates will have:

• Previous experience as a CNA, PCA, home care aide, or companion caregiver.

• Experience with dementia, memory loss, or cognitive decline preferred.

• Patience, compassion, and strong communication skills.

• The ability to encourage independence while recognizing when assistance is needed.

• A valid driver's license and reliable transportation.

• Willingness to transport clients when appropriate.
