If you are seeking a position where you can combine your passion and purpose for serving others join our team of cool, creative colleagues.

UCPSA provides home and community-based services for people with disabilities and the elderly. We are hiring for an on-call caregiver position(s). We are looking for caregivers that are skilled in personal care, lifting and transfers, meal prep, community outings, and companionship. Those hired would be on-call during those specific hours. They would be paid for the entirety of the time slot but would be sent out to work shifts of varying lengths during that time slot. The shifts will be with a wide range of members with a variety of needs, but often require lifting or transferring. The ideal caregiver is comfortable meeting new members in a variety of environments and can adapt to the member's needs quickly. We would prefer someone who would also be willing to take on a few permanently scheduled shifts with our members (those regularly scheduled shifts are paid $17/hour) in addition to any on call slot(s).
