Home Helpers of North Dakota is the Minot office of Home Helpers Home Care, a brand that has served families since 1997. We are locally owned, our owners live in Minot, and we are hiring a full-time on-call floating caregiver to cover last-minute shift openings Friday evenings through Monday mornings. A CNA license, 3 years of experience, and previous experience with gait belts and Hoyer lifts is required for this position. Specialized knowledge or experience with clients who have dementia, diabetes, MS, Parkinsons, and/or TBI is preferred. There is no fixed client list.

We pay you to train and confirm all certifications before entering a client’s home. You will be required to complete our training program.

- 401(k) retirement plan with company match after 90 days.

- Paid time off.
