Ihss Caregiver

About the Position

This is not a County of San Luis Obispo employment opportunity.

The Ideal Candidate

Are you looking for meaningful work helping others in your community? The Public Authority Caregiver Registry is a program that brings together people who need care in their own homes with those who want to provide that care. Once you are an approved IHSS provider, you may apply to be a Registry provider. If you meet registry requirements, your name will be put on a list of eligible providers. If a client contacts the Registry in search of a provider, the Public Authority will provide the client a list of eligible registry providers who are available for more IHSS hours. The IHSS recipients are responsible for hiring, supervising, and terminating the provider they choose. The Caregiver Registry does not guarantee employment.
