About the Position

Posted 3 weeks ago • Hiring Multiple Candidates • Accepting Applications

At FirstLight Home Care, you get to do something that makes a difference in someone’s life. Our professional caregivers provide safety, comfort and companionship for the elderly and adults who need support. But we do more than make a meal or help with mobility. We establish meaningful relationships built on trust and respect.

As a caregiver with FirstLight, you’ll enrich the lives of your clients by helping them have their best day, every day. Your goal will be to improve their quality of life by making everyday activities easier. The work you do will bring clients joy and help them feel encouraged, involved and valued.

Why You’ll Love Working for Us

We’ve done our own research and understand that these are the things caregivers want most:

Caregivers-first mentality - Caregivers are the heart and soul of our company and we do what it takes to show appreciation and recognition for your hard work.

Support - Our office team is very involved in the day-to-day of our clients and caregivers. We will be there to support you any time, day or night.

Communication - We’ll make sure you know what to do, where to go and that you have what you need to perform your job successfully.

Training - Comprehensive training will be provided before you care for any client. And we’ll match you with individuals you’re compatible with.

Flexibility - We’ll do our best to provide flexible options that work with your schedule.

Education/Learning - We offer free learning, development and recertification opportunities to help you grow in your position and gain professional experience for future opportunities.

Time off - We believe it’s important to take time off to focus on your family and on self-care.

FirstLight Home Care

FirstLight Home Care

FirstLight Home Care helps individuals have their best day, every day—whatever that means to them. We believe everyone deserves to be treated with kindness, dignity, and respect, and we are proud to hire compassionate individuals who share that belief.

We believe people should have the freedom to choose where they age and that home should be wherever they feel most comfortable, safe, and connected. That is why we are committed to providing exceptional care that allows individuals to remain in the place they call home while maintaining their independence and quality of life.

At FirstLight Home Care, we are just as passionate about caring for our caregivers as we are about caring for our clients. We believe in taking care of the people who dedicate themselves to taking care of others. Their compassion, commitment, and passion for enhancing the lives of those around them are what inspire us every day.

We believe in doing the right thing every time—even when it is difficult. We understand that making the decision to accept help at home can be challenging and emotional. It is often a decision that no one wants to have to make. Recognizing this allows us to approach every individual and family with genuine understanding, empathy, and compassion.

Most importantly, we believe that every person we encounter throughout the day matters. Every interaction is an opportunity to make a positive difference. Whether we are caring for a client, supporting a family, working alongside a caregiver, or simply crossing paths with someone in our community, we strive to treat everyone with the same kindness, dignity, and respect.

At FirstLight Home Care, we don’t just provide care—we create meaningful moments, support independence, and help people have their best day, every day.
