About this role
Wellthy Care Network is connecting you with a Knoxville family seeking a part-time senior companion for a recurring Tuesday and Thursday schedule. The role centers on providing meaningful companionship and conversation while handling practical household needs—light cooking, cleaning, and laundry—and driving the care recipient to medical appointments. This is a direct hire by the family, not an agency position, so you'd be working independently in their smoke-free home.
The ideal candidate brings proven experience in senior caregiving and household management, with strong communication skills and genuine attention to detail. You'll need a valid driver's license and reliable transportation, plus the ability to work proactively and manage tasks with minimal supervision. The position pays $25–29 per hour for 12 hours weekly, and all applicants must pass a background check and provide proof of work authorization.
