Rapid Response Specialist

About the Role

Do you love caregiving and want to grow into a leadership or office role? This job is half-hand-on care and half office support. When a caregiver calls out or there’s an emergency, you step in so our clients keep getting care. The rest of the time you work with our office team on scheduling, recruiting, onboarding and keeping caregivers engaged. If you want a path from the field into leadership or administration, this role is built for that.

What You’ll Do

• Lead in-office caregiver orientations, and shadow and mentor new caregivers in the field

• Help bring on new clients: initial care visits, home safety walkthroughs, and making sure care plans are followed correctly

Scheduling and operations

• Work with the scheduling team to fill open shifts and handle last-minute changes

• Help coordinate caregiver schedules so every client is covered

Recruiting and retention

• Help recruit caregivers, including going to job fairs and interviewing candidates

• Maintain availability during scheduled hours (Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.).

• Ensure coverage for assigned shifts, with flexibility to travel within your assigned service area (Baltimore County, Maryland, and surrounding areas).

• Be available for additional hours and assignments as needed.

• At least 40 hours a week. We provide care 24/7, 365 days a year, so some evenings and weekends will be needed, and your schedule may change from week to week.

• About one on-call week every three weeks

Pay

• $17.50/hour (about $36,400 a year), paid every Friday

• On-call pay: $25 for each weekday on call (outside business hours) and $50 for each weekend day

• With on-call pay, expect about $41,000+ a year in total

• Business mileage paid at the IRS rate

Benefits

• Two weeks of paid time off (earned at 0.05 hours per hour worked, up to 80 hours in your first year)

• After 60 days, a medical insurance stipend that covers 40% of your premium, up to $175/month

• Paid training, with a clear path to leadership and office roles

• Flexible schedule, with some chances to work remotely

What You Need

• Caregiving experience (lead or mentoring experience is a plus)

• A valid driver’s license, a reliable vehicle and current auto insurance that meets Maryland requirements

• Must pass a criminal background check

• Flexible and calm when plans change at the last minute

• Strong communication skills and a team-first attitude

• Comfortable learning scheduling software and other office tools

• Must finish a 60-day training period
