Operations Care Coordinator/Scheduler - Home Care

Operations Care Coordinator / Scheduler

Location: New Castle County, Delaware

Office Hours: Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Work Arrangement: Full-Time, Onsite, Exempt

Compensation: $55,000 Annual Salary + Quarterly Performance Bonus

Our client, an established and highly respected home care organization serving New Castle County, Delaware, is seeking an experienced, organized, and relationship-focused Operations Care Coordinator / Scheduler to join its growing office team.

Some people answer phones.

Some people fill schedules.

The right person builds trust, creates calm in the middle of chaos, and becomes the heartbeat of an entire office.

Exceptional care begins long before a caregiver arrives at a client’s home. It begins with an office that communicates well, solves problems quickly, supports its caregivers, and treats every client and family like they matter.

We are looking for someone who thrives on organization, loves helping people, understands the unique challenges of working with caregivers, and takes pride in making everything and everyone work together.

This is more than a scheduling position.

This is one of the most important roles in the organization.

Own the Caregiver Experience
