CNA Home Care Field Float

About the job

BrightStar Care of North Spokane is hiring an experienced certified nursing assistant (CNA) as a full-time field float caregiver in Spokane, WA, to cover home care clients when their usual caregivers call off, are absent or can't be there; the amount of client work changes from day to day.

What you'll do

• Remain available for client assignments on each scheduled on-call day and answer coverage requests from the scheduling team quickly
• Drive to different client homes across the service area
• Give safe, caring personal care and carry out nurse-delegated tasks that are authorized for each client
• Follow each client's care plan and keep accurate documentation
• Let the clinical staff know about changes in a client's condition or other concerns
• Handle assignments and client needs that change through the day

What you need

• A Washington State CNA credential that is active and in good standing
• Professional caregiving experience of more than one year
• A current nurse delegation qualification and the ability to perform delegated tasks
• Current CPR certification
• A valid driver's license, reliable transportation and the required auto insurance
• Able to travel between client homes and handle changing assignments
• Good communication, time management and documentation skills, plus sound professional judgment

Schedule

• Full-time
• Six scheduled on-call days each week and one set day off
• You must stay ready to take assignments during your scheduled on-call periods; some days are busy and some may have no client visits
• Declining a suitable coverage assignment during your committed availability can mean losing that day's guaranteed on-call pay, under the program agreement

Benefits

• Guaranteed on-call pay for each scheduled on-call day, equal to 6 hours at your usual hourly rate, as long as the availability requirements are met
• A higher hourly rate for the hours you spend giving hands-on client care
• Support from the office and clinical team
