• Fill daily unassigned shifts with the best available team member based on client needs, skill set, availability, and fit.

Ideal Candidates Will Have

• Previous experience in staffing, scheduling, workforce coordination, healthcare, home care, senior living, customer service, or a similar environment.

• Excellent communication skills with clients, families, team members, and leadership.
• A professional and diplomatic approach when handling schedule changes, call-offs, or concerns.
• Ability to anticipate coverage needs and take action before they become service issues.
• Strong attention to detail when maintaining schedules, availability, and confirmations.
• Ability to match team members thoughtfully based on client needs, skill set, availability, and personality.
• Strong customer-service instincts and a desire to create a positive experience for clients and team members.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating closely with the Caring Companions team.
• Comfort using scheduling systems, technology, and other administrative resources.
• Flexibility to participate in rotating on-call responsibilities.
