The full job description is available on CareLink’s website and can be read here. There is a $600 sign on bonus, but some restrictions may apply.
Previous caregiving experience is not required, as CareLink provides training to all prospective caregivers who do not have at least their personal care attendant certification. The course is offered at no cost to the individual and is now available online. Some in-person skills testing is required to obtain the certification.
“The purpose of this job fair is to connect with people who have a heart for caring for older people and increase the care we’re able to provide Central Arkansas’s aging community,” said Natasha Kendrick, CareLink HR manager. “The role caregivers play in the lives of those in need and within our organization is invaluable. As more people older people are finding themselves unable to perform previously simple tasks, our need for caregivers grows.”
CareLink is always accepting applications online. The next job fair is scheduled for March 24 from 8 a.m. to noon at Our House in Little Rock. For more information about working at CareLink, visit CareLink.org/Current-Job-Openings.
