CARE COORDINATOR — PART-TIME (PATH TO FULL-TIME)

Comfort Keepers — CK Caregivers LLC — Peoria, IL

20–25 hrs/week to start — transitioning to full-time in early 2027

About the Role:

Comfort Keepers of Peoria is growing, and we need a second Care Coordinator to join our team. You'll work alongside our Client Care Manager conducting in-home assessments, matching clients with caregivers, and making sure every new client's first weeks of service go smoothly. This role starts part-time (20–25 hours/week) and is expected to move to full-time in early 2027 as our client base grows — with a clear, guaranteed runway to more hours and more responsibility for the right person.

This is a genuine growth position, not a temporary gap-fill. We are actively adding new clients across the greater Peoria/Bloomington area and need someone ready to grow with us.

What You'll Do:

• Conduct in-home assessments with prospective clients and their families — understanding needs, explaining our services, and building the initial care plan.
• Match new clients with the right caregiver based on needs, personality, and schedule.
• Coordinate onboarding for new clients: paperwork, first-shift setup, and a follow-up check-in to make sure the fit is right.
• Manage day-to-day scheduling adjustments and respond to client and caregiver questions.
• Work closely with our intake systems and referral partners to keep the pipeline of new clients moving smoothly and promptly.
• Learn our full care coordination workflow, with the goal of taking on a full client caseload independently within your first few months.

What We're Looking For:

• Warm, organized, and comfortable meeting new people in their homes — often during a stressful time for the family.
• Prior experience in home care, healthcare, senior services, or care coordination preferred; will also consider strong candidates from hospitality, healthcare admin, or client-facing backgrounds who bring the right temperament.
• Reliable transportation and willingness to travel within our service area. (Greater Peoria Area, with possible clients in Bloomington/Normal and Galesburg)
• Comfortable with basic scheduling software and phone-based coordination; we'll train you on our specific systems.
• Available for daytime weekday hours, with flexibility as the role grows.
• Participation in after hours on call rotation.

Why This Role, Why Now?

• Growth with a clear timeline: We're expanding client volume now, and this position moves to full-time on a defined schedule — not an open-ended "maybe."
• Real mentorship: You’ll train directly alongside our current Care Manager, who brings years of hands‑on experience and will personally hand off her caseload and relationships to you over several months.
• A company built for the long haul: Comfort Keepers of Peoria has served central Illinois families for years, with a growing footprint that now includes patient transport, in‑home care, and expansion into new communities.
• Competitive pay: Based on experience; part-time hours now, full-time benefits eligibility as the role transitions.

Comfort Keepers of Peoria is an equal opportunity employer.
