StaffLink Seeks to Hire In-home Caregivers for the St. Louis Region

StaffLink is seeking to hire new caregivers to handle the demand for home care clients in the St. Louis region.  Those areas include St. Louis City, County, St. Charles, and Jefferson County.

StaffLink provides home care to clients whose services are covered by a variety of payer sources. Some of those sources include private pay, long-term care insurance, Medicaid, and the Veteran Administration.

StaffLink currently has full and part-time hours at the locations listed below. These job openings change 2-3 times a week due to new clients being added, other clients being covered by a caregiver, and clients going in and out of the hospital or rehab facility.

Here are StaffLink’s current home care openings:

  • Clayton, MO
  • Olivette, MO
  • Webster Groves, MO
  • South County (63128)
  • Florissant, MO
  • O’ Fallon, MO

StaffLink is seeking caregivers who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 with experience in providing caregiving to seniors, the disabled, and frail persons.

StaffLink also desires to hire persons who reflect our core values.  StaffLink’s seven core values are dedication, reliability, compassion, integrity, professionalism, commitment to serve others, and teamwork.

St. Louis home care agencies face a very competitive employment market currently.  Higher pay rates in other industries are attracting professional caregivers away from the caregiving industry.

Pay rates are currently rising for caregivers in the industry.  StaffLink’s hourly pay rate for one-to-one caregivers is currently $17-$18 per hour.  For special circumstances, StaffLink has offered up to $20 hourly.

StaffLink does not require a particular certification for being hired as an in-home caregiver. We do require experience in providing paid caregiving in the home or at an appropriate facility.

Although StaffLink does not require a particular certification for being hired to provide home care services, StaffLink does welcome applicants with certifications in the following areas as home care caregivers:

  • Certified Nurse Assistant/CNA
  • Home Health Aide/HHA
  • Personal Care Attendant or Technician/PCA-PCT
  • Level One Medication Aide/L1MA
  • Certified Medication Technician/CMT
  • Direct Support Personnel/DSP

Other requirements to be considered for employment include the following:

  • A totally clean criminal and Missouri abuse/neglect history
  • A totally clean urine drug test
  • Be fully vaccinated against COVID-19
  • Own one’s own car to get to and from work
  • 2-3 positive references from legitimate past employers

StaffLink intends to continue to support seniors, the disabled, and the frail by recruiting additional caregivers.

Interested applicants are encouraged to call the office Monday to Friday, from 9am to 5pm at 314-997-8833.  Applicants should apply on StaffLink’s website at JOB APPLICATION – Home Care in St. Louis by StaffLink | Senior Care | Home Health Care (stafflinkusa.com)
