Job description

We are so happy you are here and interested in becoming a caregiver with SYNERGY HomeCare of Central IL!


Being a caregiver with SYNERGY HomeCare of Central IL is about so much more than completing a list of tasks. Our caregivers have the opportunity to make a real and lasting difference in someone's life every single day.


You may be the reason a client can continue living safely in the home they love. You may be the person who brings conversation and laughter into an otherwise quiet home. We aren't simply looking for someone to complete a shift; we are looking for a caregiver who understands the impact of showing up, being present, and genuinely caring about the person in front of them. The meals you prepare, the conversations you have, the assistance you provide, and the relationships you build may seem like small moments, but to our clients, those moments can mean everything.


Why Caregivers Love Working With Us

  • Supportive Culture – You’re never alone. We have a real person on call 24/7 and a team that truly cares about you.

  • Safe Work Environment – Every client's home is personally visited and approved before placement.

  • Mentor-Based Onboarding – New to caregiving? We’ll pair you with an experienced caregiver to help you feel confident from day one.

  • Flexible Scheduling – Work when and where you want.

  • Higher Pay for Specialized Skills – Your experience and training matter.

  • Instant Pay with TapCheck – Access your earnings before payday.

  • Anniversary Bonuses – We celebrate your milestones with us each year.

  • Free Ongoing Training – Continue to grow your professional skills.

  • Drive Stipends – Client travel stipends are 100% yours.

  • Weekend On-Call Opportunities – Earn $400 per weekend plus hourly pay for covered assignments.

  • Emergency Pay Advances – We’re here when life happens.

  • Referral Bonuses – Earn extra for caregiver and client referrals.

  • Growth Opportunities – We promote from within across our Central IL offices.

  • Paid Leave – Earn up to 40 hours of paid leave each year.


What You’ll Do

As a Caregiver, you’ll help clients remain safe, comfortable, and independent in their homes by assisting with:

  • Personal care (bathing, dressing, grooming)

  • Meal preparation and light housekeeping

  • Medication reminders

  • Companionship and emotional support

  • Transportation to appointments and errands

  • Specialized care based on client needs (training provided!)


Requirements

  • Must be 18 years of age or older

  • Must have a valid driver's license

  • Must have valid auto insurance

  • Must have a reliable vehicle

  • Complete a background check through IDPH

  • Experience not required but a plus

Benefits

  • Hourly rate: $15.00- $40.00 an hour (dependent on the level of care the client requires)

  • Instant pay through Tapcheck

  • Health Insurance

  • Dental Insurance

  • Vision Insurance

  • Paid Leave (up to 40 hours per year)

  • Drive stipends: $5-$20 per shift if eligible
