Careers · Direct care staff
We are looking for caregivers.
Good Hands Personal Care is a small Indianapolis company, and the people who do the visiting are the whole of it. Direct care staff go into someone’s home and help them get through a morning — a bath taken safely, a real breakfast, a conversation that is not about illness. It is quiet work, and it is the difference between staying at home and not.
If you are patient, dependable, and good company for an hour, our team would like to hear from you. Experience is welcome but not required — we train the right person.
All direct care staff are background checked, trained and certified.
What the role involves
01
Help with daily living
Bathing, dressing, grooming, meals, and moving safely around the house. The everyday things that get hard, done with patience and with the door closed.
02
Follow each client’s care plan
Every client has a plan worked out with the family. You follow it — the same routine, the same way, every visit — rather than improvising.
03
Keep notes on the visits
A short written record of what happened, what was eaten, what changed. It is how families stop worrying and how our team spots something that needs a doctor.
04
Treat clients with dignity in their own homes
You are a guest in somebody’s house. Knocking, asking, and putting things back where they belong is most of the job.
05
Be company, not just hands
A card game, a walk to the mailbox, an hour that is not so quiet. For a lot of clients this matters as much as the bath.
What we look for
- Dependable — someone is counting on you at nine o’clock
- Patient, and unhurried by nature
- Compassionate, without being sentimental about it
- Able to pass a background check
- A valid driver’s license and reliable transportation (preferred)
- Previous caregiving experience is welcome — but not required
Do not talk yourself out of applying over a qualification. Tell us what you have done and what you are willing to learn, and we will tell you honestly whether it is a fit.
A word on pay
Pay depends on the schedule and what you bring to the work, so our team talks it through with you directly rather than posting a number here. Ask on the phone and you will get a straight answer.
Prefer to email?

Apply to be a direct care staff member.
Name and a phone number is all that is required. The rest tells us who you are before we call.
Prefer to talk first? Call or text (317) 995-1802 at any hour.
Not sure whether it is for you?
Call and ask. We would rather spend ten minutes answering a question than have someone talk themselves out of work they would be good at.
