Become an ALTRU Care Associate
Telford Loving Care is preparing to launch in Alpharetta, Roswell and Milton. We hire caregivers as employees, screen carefully, and train every one of them in our RN-led ALTRU Academy, including the psychology of aging. If you want to be seen for the work you do, we want to meet you.
Would we trust this caregiver in our own loved one’s home?
That is our standard. If you bring skill, integrity and heart to this work, we want to meet you.
Already a CNA? Start here.
We verify your certificate and complete the background check, drug screen and TB test before training. Then the ALTRU Academy, paid, before your first family.
Still finishing your program? Apply now.
We would like to meet you before graduation. Your start date comes after your certificate, the screening and the Academy.
Hours that fit your life.
Part-time and as-needed. Tell our scheduler when you are available, and she builds around it. A light week is a light week, not a layoff.
Grow with us.
Our RN clears you for each step of the pay ladder: companion care, personal care, then specialty care such as dementia and end-of-life support. The Academy is not optional; it is how everyone starts.
The ALTRU Academy
Some caregivers arrive certified; the rest we train in house. Either way, everyone completes the training Georgia requires of a licensed home care provider, and then our Academy goes further: a course in the psychology of aging, taught by our RN. What a senior is feeling when he refuses the bath. Why she says the same thing every morning. How to look past the frustration to the person. The Academy is paid, it comes after your offer, and it comes before you ever meet a family. That is what we teach.
TLC is the place to be seen, heard, and respected
Caregivers do the hardest work in this business and are too often overlooked. TLC was built to recognize the people who make excellent care possible.
Pay
Three rungs, and our RN moves you up them: $18 companion care, $21 personal care, $24 specialty care. Overnight and live-in shifts are flat rates. Paid weekly, as a W-2 employee: we pay our share of your Social Security and Medicare, you are covered by workers’ compensation in every home, and you can claim unemployment if the work ever disappears. A $100 welcome bonus when you join and $100 at your hundredth hour.
What happens after you apply
1. A phone conversation with our recruiter.
2. A behavioral assessment, online, about twenty minutes.
3. A video interview with our RN.
4. A sit-down with our founder at our Alpharetta office.
5. Your offer, then the ALTRU Academy, and a hands-on skills check with the RN before your first shift.
We are small on purpose. We will tell you where you stand at every step.
