Job Overview Maybe you spent years supporting adults with disabilities in a group home. Maybe you worked for a home health agency, or a program that helped elderly Iowans stay independent, until the funding dried up or the schedule stopped working. The work you did mattered. You don’t have to stop doing it. Who we are Visiting Angels Des Moines provides non-medical in-home care for seniors and adults with disabilities across Des Moines, West Des Moines, Urbandale, Grimes, Johnston, Clive, Norwalk, Pleasant Hill and Altoona. One of our own caregivers came to us exactly this way: after years serving elderly and disabled Iowans, her program lost funding and she was looking for another way to help. She found it here. What you’ll do • Help clients with bathing, dressing, toileting and grooming • Support independence: helping, not taking over • Assist with mobility and fall prevention • Prepare meals, give medication reminders, and keep up with light housekeeping • Run errands and help clients get to appointments • Care for clients living with Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s and other conditions What you already know How to respect someone’s dignity while helping with personal care. How to stay patient when a day goes sideways. How to work on your own and still follow a care plan. That experience puts you ahead from day one. What we add Paid, hands-on training, in person at our Urbandale office on real equipment, with certificates to show for it. Transfers, dementia care, mechanical lifts and more. What we promise back • Raises in writing before you’re even hired • Every training hour paid from day one • Real PTO • Premium pay for short visits and holidays • Every detail on paper at your interview. No mystery, no “it depends.” The honest part You’ll work alone in clients’ homes, and some of our clients are declining. You’ll get attached. If you’ve done this kind of work before, you know that’s both the hard part and the best part. One more thing One more thing: after you apply, we'll send a short questionnaire. It ends with a space to tell us more about yourself. A story, an interesting fact, anything you like. We read every one. Apply today: 515-855-2273 | www.visitingangels.com/DesMoines
