Lead the way in care

Are you the caregiver everyone calls when something comes up? The one who steps in, keeps calm, and makes sure no client goes without care? Senior Helpers of Waukesha is looking for a dependable, experienced Lead Caregiver to be the go-to person for our clients and our caregiver team.

This is more than a caregiving job. You'll provide hands-on, compassionate care in clients' homes, help new caregivers succeed, and be our first line of support when a shift needs to be covered. In return, you get steady, guaranteed hours and a team that values your experience.

Why you'll love it here

• $18–$20 per hour, based on experience
• 20 hours per week guaranteed, so you can count on your paycheck
• Paid drive time between client visits
• One-on-one care: you get to know your clients and make a real difference in their day
• A local, supportive office team that answers the phone and has your back
• Room to grow as a leader with our agency

What you'll do

• Provide in-home care for seniors: personal care, companionship, light housekeeping, meal preparation, errands, and medication reminders
• Be on call 24/7, Monday through Friday, and step in to cover open shifts, call-offs, and last-minute schedule changes
• Introduce caregivers to new clients so every start goes smoothly, and give hands-on training to caregivers who need more personal care experience
• Model our standards of care: punctuality, professionalism, and respect for every client
• Check in with clients and families and share concerns or changes in condition with the office right away
• Help keep visit notes and clock-ins/outs accurate and on time
• Communicate quickly and clearly with the office and fellow caregivers

What we're looking for

• At least 1 year of caregiving experience; in-home care experience strongly preferred
• Leadership, mentoring, or lead/shift-lead experience is a big plus
• CNA certification is a plus but not required
• Excellent personality and strong interpersonal skills
• Able to adapt to different personalities, with clients, families, and fellow caregivers
• Comfortable introducing caregivers to new clients and training caregivers who need more hands-on care experience
• Available for on-call coverage 24/7, Monday–Friday, and able to respond quickly when needed
• Must have a reliable vehicle, plus a valid driver's license and current auto insurance
• Must be able to get to a client's home within 30 minutes
• Smartphone for scheduling, texts, and electronic clock-in/out
• Live in or near our service area: Waukesha, Brookfield, New Berlin, Pewaukee, Elm Grove, Butler, Delafield, North Prairie, or Wales
• Able to pass a background check
• Calm under pressure, a strong problem-solver, and a true team player
