About the role

We're hiring trusted, experienced caregivers to be the person we call when it matters most: covering a shift when a teammate is out, helping a brand-new client feel at home on day one, and showing up alongside our newer caregivers to coach them through real-world situations.

What a week looks like

About 85% of your time is spent in clients' homes, covering the shifts where we need our best person in the field. That can mean:

Stepping in for a same-day call-off so our client never goes without care
Being the first caregiver in the door for a new client and setting the tone
Working alongside a newer caregiver to model how we deliver care at Visiting Angels
Conducting quality visits and giving our office team a clear read on what's working in the field

The remaining time is at our office here in Columbus, Ohio, helping the team prepare for new client starts, support active care plans, and keep our standards high. You'll also rotate through on-call coverage for evenings, weekends, and holidays.

Who we're looking for

Have at least 2 years of professional caregiving experience (home care a plus)
Have a track record of showing up, on time, every shift
Stay calm and steady when things get unpredictable
Communicate clearly, listen without judgment, and treat every client with dignity
Drive a reliable vehicle, hold a valid license, and have current auto insurance
Have a high school diploma or equivalent
Are comfortable using basic computer apps and electronic documentation tools

Why Visiting Angels Columbus West

For more than 30 years, we've been Columbus families' choice for compassionate in-home care that lets seniors age in place with dignity and peace of mind. We're a local, family-owned agency, not a corporate call center, and our caregivers are the heart of what we do. The Lead Caregiver role is one of the most respected positions on our team, with a direct line to leadership and a real say in how we deliver care.
