Caregiver Recruiter & Credentialing Specialist

About OurCare Health

OurCare Health is a locally-owned, mission-driven provider of in-home support services dedicated to helping seniors remain independent while giving their families peace of mind. We believe that outstanding care begins with outstanding caregivers — and we are committed to building lasting relationships between our care teams and the clients they serve. As we continue to grow throughout Florida and beyond, we are looking for a passionate and detail-oriented Recruiter to help us attract and onboard the talent that makes our mission possible.

Position Summary

The Caregiver Recruiter & Credentialing Specialist is responsible for sourcing, screening, hiring, and credentialing Home Health Aides (HHAs) and Personal Care Aides (PCAs) for OurCare's Offices in NY, FL and CT.

The ideal candidate brings 2–5 years of high-volume recruiting experience — ideally in home care, healthcare, or a related field — and thrives in a fast-paced, people-first environment. Additionally, we are open to training someone with no experience that is entry level. All of the responsibilities below are things we can train an entry level candidate for, but for someone with experience in all of these areas that does not need as much training will be paid at the higher end of the pay scale.
