Full Life Care Assistant - Hilo in Hilo, Hawaii

Who We Are:

At Full Life, we are dedicated to providing exceptional services that are specifically tailored to the unique needs of individuals with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities. Our top priority is improving our participants' overall well-being while promoting independence, inclusion, health, social opportunities, and personal growth. We take great pride in our customized approach, which emphasizes self-determination and fosters a sense of community and belonging for all.

For over two decades, Full Life has been a beacon of hope for individuals seeking assistance in leading a self-directed life. Our humble beginnings as a small agency have been transformed into a comprehensive support provider with not one but two offices located in Hilo and Kona and an Adult Day Health Learning Center in Kona. Our team, consisting of over a hundred highly committed employees, works tirelessly to ensure that each individual's unique needs are met with compassion and understanding.

What We Are Looking For:

Full Life is actively seeking a compassionate and devoted Care Assistant to join our team and make a positive difference in the lives of others. As a tenured Care Assistant, you will have the opportunity to provide a range of services to our participants that will allow them to lead a more fulfilling life. Our organization recognizes the importance of promoting individual growth and development, and we are committed to supporting our participants and their families every step of the way.

In this role, you will be responsible for assisting participants with various disabilities, including physical, intellectual, and developmental disabilities. You will work closely with our participants to understand their unique needs and goals and develop personalized care plans to help them achieve their full potential.

Our services cater to our participants' unique needs and goals, and we provide them with the tools they need to succeed. We offer assistance with independence, inclusion and belonging, vocational support, and personal development. You will work with participants to help them develop the skills they need to live a more independent and fulfilling life, such as light cooking, providing prescribed medication, and personal hygiene. You will also support participants in their efforts to become more socially engaged and involved in their community by helping them develop communication and social skills. At Full Life, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live a happy and fulfilling life, and we are honored to be a part of that journey.

What You'll Bring:?

Do you have a passion for helping others and positively impacting someone's life? Then let's talk!

We are currently seeking a compassionate and skilled care provider to provide full-time support to a participant who requires physical assistance with all activities of daily living. The participant, who is currently under medication, requires the assistance of a caregiver with CNA experience, but it's not mandatory. We're seeking someone who is eager to learn and willing to help!

But here's the best part - this differs from your typical caregiving role! Our participant is independent and enjoys community outings. You'll be able to accompany them on various adventures while providing the support they need. Plus, you'll work in a comfortable and familiar environment - their home.

As part of this role, you'll need to be comfortable learning and operating a Hoyer lift for transfers and have availability for weekends, weekdays, and some potential overnight shifts. The job requires a full-time commitment of 40 hours per week and comes with a starting pay rate of $19.50 per hour. We also provide complete and competitive benefits packages and paid time off.
