If you've completed North Carolina's 80-hour personal care training and you take pride in doing things the right way, Glen Haven Huntersville is built for you.
Only six residents in a beautiful, high-end home.
Two caregivers on most shifts for six residents.
The owners are involved in the operation of the home daily. You will have direct contact..
Glen Haven pays for your Medication Aide training and state exam.
Every resident is known by name, routine, and preference. The care here is very personalized.
You're not just "filling a shift" here. You're one of a small, trusted team responsible for giving six seniors the best possible day, every day.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
As a Caregiver at Glen Haven, you will:
Provide hands-on personal care. Support residents with bathing, showering, grooming, toileting, incontinence care, dressing, and safe transfers and walking according to the care plan.
Support a calm, predictable daily routine. Offer companionship, redirection, and cueing for memory support, and encourage participation in simple activities - conversation, music, reading, short walks, and meals together.
Monitor and document resident status. Follow written care plans, document care as it happens, and immediately report changes in condition, behavior, appetite, mobility, or skin.
Administer medications safely and accurately. Give medications as ordered, follow the MAR exactly, follow the "five rights" of medication administration every time, and promptly report and document any medication issue.
Prepare meals and keep the home clean. Cook, serve, and clean up after meals, and keep resident rooms and common areas spotless throughout your shift.
Communicate clearly with your teammates and families. Give and receive a thorough report at every shift change, raise concerns with the owners right away, and keep a calm, professional tone with residents and families at all times.
QUALIFICATIONS
Certificate of completion of the NC DHSR-approved 80-hour Personal Care Training and Competency Evaluation Program, or current listing on the NC Nurse Aide I (CNA) Registry.
No certificate = no job offer.
Already a qualified NC Medication Aide? You start higher in the pay range.
Not yet? We pay for the state medication training and your first attempt at the state exam. You must complete the 10-hour training and pass the exam (90% or higher) within 60 days of hire. Every caregiver here passes medications - if you don't qualify within 60 days, the job ends.
You won't give any medication until you've completed the 5-hour training and our RN has checked your skills in person.
Personal care for older adults in assisted living, memory care, a group home, skilled nursing, or in-home care.
Dementia experience is a plus.
Unless you are a CNA, if you haven't completed the 80-hour training, or you aren't willing to become a Medication Aide within 60 days, this role isn't a fit.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
At least 18 years old.
High school diploma or equivalent.
Able to pass a criminal background check, drug screen, and TB screening, with no substantiated findings on the NC Health Care Personnel Registry.
Current CPR/BLS certificate from a hands-on course, or willingness to complete one within 90 days of hire.
Able to lift, push, and pull at least 50 lbs, with or without reasonable accommodation, and to stand and walk for most of the shift.
Able to read and follow written care plans and document care in English (paper and basic electronic formats).
Reliable transportation and a strong history of on-time attendance.
Weekend work is required - full-time caregivers work every other weekend.
IF YOU'RE COMING FROM IN-HOME CARE
Many strong caregivers come to us from one-on-one, in-home work where they were largely on their own. Glen Haven works differently:
Your work will be observed and coached. We will provide feedback that is direct and frequent.
You will document in real time. Care and medications are recorded when they happen, not at the end of the shift.
You will hand off to a teammate every shift. Your work must be complete and clear for the next caregiver.
These standards are how we deliver consistent, high-end care - and how we protect our residents and our team.
WHO THRIVES HERE
You will do well at Glen Haven if you:
Take your training and medication responsibilities seriously and follow procedures every time.
Are calm, patient, and steady with residents who may be confused, anxious, or repetitive.
Like working in a small, close team where everyone is visible and accountable.
Arrive 10 minutes early, ready to receive report, and understand that reliability is part of good care.
Want stability, not just a short-term job.
THIS JOB IS NOT FOR YOU IF
You prefer working alone and without oversight.
You have a history of attendance problems.
You expect to sleep on shift.
You're looking for a short-term stop while you wait for a hospital job.
