Life Guide/Caregiver (multiple openings)

Caregiving as a Life Guide is the best job!  Step into your future as a Life Guide today! People who CARE about people are our kind of people.

The Bay Area is a beautiful, busy, and bustling place! We get that most people need 2-3 jobs to make it work here. Many of our caregivers have found their 2nd job here at Compass and here’s why: 

  • The schedules are more flexible than your typical 9-5 job. We have weekend shifts!
  • We provide overnight shifts where you get PAID to sleep
  • We have a strong training program that supports any experience level
  • We’re all about the PEOPLE. It doesn’t matter your background or your experience. We’re looking for people who CARE.

 

WHO ARE WE:

Like any organization, it’s the people that make the difference. We’ve got the best clients, the best staff, and a desire to serve our community well. Our clients are adults with disabilities who desire to live independently in their own. Our staff (YOU) provide the support they need so they can live the life they want to live.

 

JOIN THE TEAM:

  • We’ve switched to a Virtual platform for interviews and hiring!  Our goal is to make it safe, convenient, and simple!  
  • Apply today for one of our open positions
  • After we receive your application, our recruitment manager will call you for a phone interview.

We’re looking forward to working with you.

SCHEDULE/SHIFT TYPES:

Your schedule and the shifts available will depend on the client you are matched with. This is not your typical nine-to-five job. Schedules are built based on the client’s needs. Some clients need support 24/7 and other clients need 5 hrs of support a day. Our staff are paid for every hour they work including hours where they are SLEEPING. Yep, it’s true. Contact us today to see what shifts we have available.
