With a proud legacy of serving numerous counties including Anderson, Blount, Campbell, Claiborne, Cocke, Grainger, Greene, Hamblen, Hancock, Hawkins, Jefferson, Knox, Loudon, McMinn, Monroe, Morgan, Roane, Scott, Sevier, and Union, SCHAS plays a vital role in enhancing the quality of life for our community's most vulnerable populations. SCHAS understands that caregiving is more than just a job; it is an opportunity to make a meaningful and lasting difference in someone's life every single day.

The role of Caregiver at SCHAS is both rewarding and impactful.

This position offers flexible scheduling, allowing individuals to balance work with their personal lives effectively. SCHAS values individuals with compassion, patience, and a strong sense of responsibility who are committed to respecting client dignity and confidentiality. Whether you have previous caregiving or healthcare experience or are new to the field, SCHAS welcomes you to apply. The organization provides comprehensive orientation, paid training, and continuing education opportunities to ensure every caregiver is well-prepared to serve clients with professionalism and care.

SCHAS caregivers also play a critical role in supporting clients' mobility and safety, providing transportation to appointments when assigned, and observing and reporting any changes in client conditions to ensure timely and appropriate care. The position requires dependable transportation and a valid driver’s license, as many care visits take place throughout a broad service area in East Tennessee. With a competitive pay range of $15.00 to $18.00 per hour and benefits including health insurance, dental insurance, paid time off, and a 401(k) retirement plan with matching contributions, SCHAS provides a supportive and growth-oriented work environment.

Joining SCHAS means becoming part of a mission-driven team dedicated to serving older adults, Veterans, and people with disabilities with empathy and respect. The organization fosters a culture of supportive leadership, encourages professional development, and offers opportunities to grow within the field of caregiving. If you are a compassionate individual who values making a real difference in the lives of others and desires a stable job with flexible hours and benefits, SCHAS offers an ideal work environment to thrive and contribute meaningfully to your community.
