What You’ll Do and Who You Are:

The good news is that your training will teach you everything you need to know to succeed on the job. But there are a few character traits you should have from the get-go. We have a great work culture at Right at Home and look for people with a similar mindset:

 

You’re the honest, likable, energetic and approachable type, and are able to get along and verbally communicate easily with people at all levels. You listen well, have great decision making skills and are passionate about your customer focus. You’re never short of a smile and take real pride in your work by being resourceful, accountable, and adaptable and you cope well under pressure, take initiative and thrive on a challenge. Integrity is one of your core values as you do not ethically cut corners. You make a great first impression as you are professional and kind in your demeanor and approach.

 

You don’t mind getting a little dirty … this could include (but is not limited to) assisting the patient with activities of daily living such as providing assistance with personal hygiene (toileting, bathing, care of mouth, skin and hair), ambulation, eating, dressing, shaving, light housekeeping, and other household chores. 

 

You don’t have to be a gourmet chef but you can prepare a good meal and work your way around a kitchen.

  • Assisting with the change of ostomy appliances
  • Reinforcement of dressings (non-sterile) 
  • Assisting with the use of devices for aid in daily living (cane, walker, wheelchair or lift device)

  • Measuring intake and output
  • Taking vital signs (temperature, pulse, respirations and blood pressure)
  • Application of an external (condom-type) catheter
  • Assisting with application of arm sling, arm splint or leg splint

Must Haves: 

  • High school degree and/or a G.E.D. certificate 
  • Six months experience as a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) in health care (in homes or facilities) and successful completion of a State approved Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) course
  • The Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) shall have successfully completed a Competency Evaluation that meets the State licensing law for home health agencies
  • Must have a sympathetic attitude toward the care of the sick, and ability to deal effectively with the demands of the job
  • Current CPR Certificate is recommended
  • Meets the requirements for employees providing direct patient care
  • Read, write, speak and understand English as needed for the job
  • Have a valid driver’s license and use of an insured automobile for work or access to adequate transportation
