About the role

Are you a compassionate, reliable caregiver who finds fulfillment in helping individuals live independently and with dignity? Broad Street Home Care is seeking non-medical caregivers who have experience supporting clients with mental health diagnoses.

We believe great care goes beyond physical support — it means understanding and respecting emotional and behavioral health needs, too. As an in-home caregiver with Broad Street, you’ll provide daily living support, companionship, and practical assistance to clients — many of whom may have mental health conditions, cognitive challenges, or require support from a social worker.

Responsibilities:

  • Assist clients with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting.

  • Provide companionship, emotional support, and help create a calming, safe home environment.

  • Support light housekeeping, meal preparation, medication reminders, and transportation as needed.

  • Observe and report changes in behavior or condition to care managers or supervising staff.

  • Collaborate and communicate respectfully with mental health professionals, social workers, and family members.

  • Uphold client dignity and autonomy with patience, empathy, and professionalism.

Qualifications:

  • Prior experience as a caregiver, home health aide, or similar role (experience supporting clients with mental health or social service needs is strongly preferred).

  • A deep sense of compassion, reliability, and respect for diverse backgrounds and abilities.

  • Ability to follow care plans and respond to emotional or behavioral needs calmly and confidently.

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

  • Must pass background check and have reliable transportation.

At Broad Street Home Care, we value caregivers who are not only skilled, but also emotionally intelligent and team-oriented. We offer flexible scheduling, supportive supervisors, ongoing training, and a chance to truly make a difference — especially for clients managing complex life circumstance
