$19.00-$22.00 per hour Job type: Part-time ocation: Clients' private homes across Union and Middlesex County, NJ Already working as a CHHA? Add a few shifts that actually fit around your schedule. FirstLight Home Care of Metuchen & Clark is looking to add Certified Home Health Aides for short shifts — typically 4 to 5 hours, three to five days a week , with consistent clients and a consistent schedule. This is built for aides who already have something going on. If you work weekdays at a facility and want weekend hours, if you're picking up per-diem work between assignments, if you're in school, or if you're semi-retired and want a few steady mornings a week — this is the shape of work you've probably had trouble finding. What we won't do: call you at random, send you somewhere different every week, or give you a 2-hour shift that isn't worth the drive. Every shift is a minimum of four hours. That's a rule, not a preference.
