Job Title: Assistant to the Lead Caregiver Trainer & Caregiver — Field Support, Training & Meet-and-Greets (Howell/Brighton)

Body:

FirstLight Home Care of Greater Brighton is hiring a flexible, people-first Assistant to our Lead Caregiver Trainer to support our clients, families, and caregivers across the Howell and Brighton area. This is a hands-on hybrid role: you'll spend about 20 hours a week assisting with training and field supervision, and about 20 hours a week providing direct client care.

Why this role is a great fit:

  • $36,400/year to start ($1,400 biweekly), full-time, with room to grow

  • Variety every day — no two days look the same; you'll split your time between supporting training, checking in on care quality, and working directly with clients

  • Paid, hands-on training — plus CPR, First Aid, Memory Care, and Parkinson's training

  • Real advancement — Since most of our office team began their careers as caregivers, you'll always have direct contact to someone who can understand, assist, and provide support.

  • Benefits — Blue Care Network health, dental, and vision available; paid sick time after 120 days; bonus pay and wellness resources such as FREE Telehealth, free medication, and free mental health guidance through Vitable

Do you have a heart for care and a talent for helping others grow? If you've cared for clients or loved ones and enjoy supporting a team, this role lets you do both — help develop our caregivers while staying connected to the hands-on work that matters.

What you'll do:

  • Assist the Lead Caregiver Trainer with hands-on training for new and current caregivers

  • Conduct supervisory visits in clients' homes to ensure care quality and that care plans are being followed

  • Perform client meet-and-greets and welcome visits for new clients and their families

  • Provide direct client care about 20 hours per week — bathing, dressing, mobility, transfers, and companionship

  • Step in to support scheduling and coverage needs, including some nights and weekends

What we're looking for:

  • Genuine availability for nights and weekends — flexibility is essential for this role

  • Minimum 1 year of caregiving experience; CNA preferred

  • Able to provide professional references

  • Reliable transportation and a valid Michigan driver's license — you'll travel between client homes

  • Strong communication and people skills — you'll help coach caregivers and reassure families

  • Dependable, organized, and calm under pressure

  • A commitment to doing things the right way, every time
