About Briarwood Manor

Briarwood Manor has been part of the Lockport community for decades. We're a 160-bed assisted living community on Lincoln Avenue serving older adults across general assisted living, an Assisted Living Program, and a dedicated 20-unit Memory Care. Our team supports residents and their families through thoughtful, individualized care — and we take care of our team in return.

About This Role

Our assisted living residents are independent older adults who need a little extra support — help with daily activities, medication management, and the comfort of knowing someone is always nearby. You'll be part of a consistent care team that knows our residents well. We're hiring caregivers at all credential levels — PCA, HHA, and Med Tech — for full-time, part-time, and per-diem positions across day, evening, and overnight shifts.

What You'll Do

• Help residents with daily activities — bathing, dressing, grooming, meals, ambulation, and personal care
• Conduct rounds and check in with assigned residents throughout your shift
• Build real relationships with each resident — learn their preferences, their routines, what matters to them
• Document care and observations in our electronic care record
• Support resident participation in activities, meals, and social programs
• Respond calmly and confidently to safety needs and report changes in resident condition to your team lead
• If certified as a Med Tech: administer scheduled and PRN medications per resident orders and document accurately

What We're Looking For

• You're at least 18 years old and able to legally work in New York
• You have or can obtain an active PCA, HHA, or Med Tech credential on the New York State Home Care Worker Registry
• You're patient, kind, and reliable — and you treat older adults with the respect they deserve
• You can communicate clearly in English (additional languages are a plus)
• You can lift, transfer, and assist residents safely with proper training
• You're able to clear a Justice Center / State Central Registry background check and complete a pre-employment physical and TB screening
• Prior caregiving experience is a plus but not required

Why Join Briarwood

• Competitive pay graduated by credential — PCA, HHA, and Med Tech all paid at their level, plus premium pay for overnight shifts
• Health, dental, and vision insurance for eligible full-time staff
• Paid time off
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Employee referral bonus when you bring great people to our team
• A team that knows your name, has your back, and treats this like more than just a job

Schedule

Full-time, part-time, and per-diem positions available across all three shifts

• Day: 6:00 AM – 2:00 PM
• Evening: 2:00 PM – 10:00 PM
• Overnight: 10:00 PM – 6:00 AM (with premium pay)

Rotating weekends and holidays. Flexible scheduling within posted shifts wherever possible.
