• Be available to assist with unexpected caregiver call-outs and client coverage.
• Understand that occasional evenings, weekends, or schedule changes may be required.
• Be dependable when urgent staffing or client situations arise.
• Be comfortable transitioning between administrative responsibilities and direct client care.

Specific scheduling expectations, availability requirements, and any on-call responsibilities will be discussed during the interview and established in accordance with applicable wage-and-hour requirements.

Responsibilities may include:

• Answering and managing incoming calls
• Communicating with clients, families, caregivers, and referral sources
• Assisting with caregiver scheduling and schedule changes
• Finding replacement caregivers for call-outs
• Recruiting and onboarding caregivers

This may include:

• Providing companionship and supervision

• Assisting with bathing, grooming, dressing, and personal care
• Meal preparation and light housekeeping
• Mobility and transfer assistance when properly trained
• Providing temporary client coverage when a caregiver calls out or coverage cannot immediately be located

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Strong organizational and time-management skills
• Ability to multitask and change priorities quickly
• Strong telephone and customer-service skills
• Good computer skills
