Senior Caregiver

Position Summary

The Senior Caregiver is an experienced care professional who provides compassionate, dependable, non-medical in-home support while modeling PureJoy's standards of professionalism, communication and client-centered service.

The Senior Caregiver may be assigned to clients requiring an experienced caregiver and may help support caregiver orientation, peer guidance and service consistency under the direction of PureJoy management.

This is not a nursing or independent clinical decision-making position.

Primary Responsibilities

In addition to all Caregiver responsibilities — companionship, approved activities of daily living, meal preparation, medication reminders within the permitted non-medical scope, light housekeeping, accurate documentation, and prompt reporting — the Senior Caregiver will:

• Model PureJoy's standards of compassion, professionalism and reliability
• Support clients whose service plans require an experienced caregiver
• Help new caregivers understand client routines and approved service expectations
• Provide non-supervisory peer guidance when assigned by management
• Help reinforce proper documentation, punctuality and professional communication
• Communicate client concerns promptly to the appropriate PureJoy supervisor
• Assist management with approved caregiver orientation or shadowing activities
• Help maintain continuity during caregiver transitions
• Identify potential safety or service-quality concerns and report them immediately
• Participate in quality-improvement discussions when requested
• Maintain professional boundaries with clients, families and team members
• Follow all company policies, service plans and escalation procedures

This role does not include authority to diagnose medical conditions, change a client's care plan independently, provide skilled nursing services, administer medications outside the legally permitted scope, discipline or terminate employees, make clinical decisions, or promise services or pricing to clients.
