Interested in Employment? Buckley's is hiring in Arlington and Alexandria!
Buckley's for Seniors is offering a rewarding part-time job opportunity for a college-educated individual with free time during the day interested in making a real difference in the lives of older adults. Starting pay is $20-30/hour plus gas reimbursement depending on assignment.
Currently we need a staffer willing to serve the Arlington and Alexandria area. Hours are flexible around your schedule but VERY PART-TIME and the hours vary week to week. Some weeks you may work 5 or so hours and other weeks there will be no work in your area. Over time, you may acquire a regular client or two that you see every week. You are free to accept or reject assignments offered to you if they do not work for you.
This position works well for recently-retired professionals, stay-at-home parents, small business owners, college students or others with flexibility in their schedules, looking for meaningful work during the work week. Our business hours are 8 to 5 Monday through Friday so you will be working during these hours. Only occasionally do we have requests for service outside these hours or on weekends but when we do, it is paid at time and a quarter. Assignments are usually 1 - 3 hours in length; you will not be doing consistent shift work with this position. As stated it is very part-time and the hours are usually not consistent week to week.
Ideal candidates love engaging with older adults, enjoy driving and have a clean driving record, reliable transportation and can demonstrate proficiency in oral and written communications. As a Buckley's companion you will be providing premium companion and concierge services that may include home visits, social outings, organizing/filing paperwork, errands, trips to appointments or other support services (but not cooking, cleaning, dressing or medication management). Our focus is on helping clients extend their independence and improve their quality of life. In many cases, we act as stand-ins for adult children who may live hundreds of miles away or have demanding jobs that make it difficult to attend to weekly appointments and activities. We also assist with helping folks get home after procedures with anesthesia at local surgery centers and hospitals. These assignments are paid at the higher rate.
If you live in or around Arlington or Alexandria or know of someone who does and might have an interest in doing such purposeful work, please email us at info@buckleys4seniors.com or give us a call at 703-390-0535.
