The Role

We're looking for an experienced Scheduler to be the anchor of our office – someone who enjoys caregiver scheduling while keeping day-to-day operations steady, even when the day doesn't go as planned. Home care moves fast: schedules shift, calls come in, priorities change by the hour. We need someone who stays calm under pressure and juggles it all without dropping the ball.

You'll collaborate closely with the management team to strengthen and improve operational efficiency. This role includes taking part in the after-hours on-call rotation and stepping in to cover caregiving shifts when needed.

•Follow up weekly with caregivers and clients; escalate concerns to management

•Share coverage gaps with recruiting and training

•Take part in the after-hours on-call rotation, including some evenings and weekends

•Step in to provide hands-on caregiving shifts when coverage requires it

Requirements

•Ideally 2+ years of scheduling experience in home care, home health, or senior care
