The float aide’s primary responsibility is to be a “fill-in” at various client homes on an as needed basis for their designated branch office in addition to conducting supervisory visits at client homes. The float aide is not allowed to work for a client on a permanent basis. The float aide reports to the Homemaker Supervisor and Area Manager weekly to get their assignment for the week. The float aide is given a number of guaranteed hours per week. If the Homemaker Supervisor is unable to fill the given number of guaranteed hours for the float aide in the field, then the aide is required to be available to work in the branch office and/or complete other ancillary tasks. At any time, the agency can remove the need for the float aide position at any given branch location if the need for a float aide no longer exists (example- the branch office has all of their authorized hours filled by permanent aides.
