• Excellent reliability and the ability to work independently.
• Flexibility to move between field caregiving, client visits, caregiver support, training, scheduling, and office assignments based on business needs.

Preferred

• Experience training, mentoring, or supervising caregivers.

About the Role

We are looking for someone who can confidently walk into a new client's home, help a caregiver succeed, recognize when something needs attention, communicate effectively with the office, and step in when plans change. If you are an experienced caregiver who enjoys being the person others can rely on, this may be a good next step.
