Relocation Specialist

Relocation Specialist

Are you ready to turn your passion for helping others into a rewarding career adventure? As a Relocation Specialist, you'll be at the heart of our mission to support senior citizens as they embark on a new chapter of their lives.

This is a great opportunity for retirees, stay-at-home parents, or college students who like to make extra cash while helping others but don't require a consistent schedule. Work hours are project-based, offering variability with the potential to transition into full-time employment based on business needs and your availability. Part-time employees may work from 10 hours to 30+ hours per week. No specific experience necessary.

Join our innovative and hands-on team to give peace of mind to local families.

Day to Day Responsibilities

• Sorting and Downsizing: Assist clients by sorting through their belongings, following their guidance on what to organize, keep, donate, sell, or discard. Approach the process with sensitivity and empathy, respecting the sentimental value of items while helping to streamline their possessions for their new living environment.
• Organization and Space Optimization: Maximize space and functionality in the clients' new residences. Implement in-home storage solutions and systems tailored to their needs, ensuring easy access to essential items and promoting a safe and comfortable living environment.
• Packing and Unpacking: Safely and securely pack clients' belongings for transportation, using Caring Transitions' approved appropriate materials and techniques to protect fragile or valuable items. Upon arrival at their new residence, unpack items with care, arranging them thoughtfully to create a welcoming and functional living space with the end goal for our clients to be Day One Living.
• Assisting with Auctions: Sorting, decluttering, cleaning and displaying the contents of each estate. Create and price our well-organized, eye-catching displays. Tasks include setup of all equipment including tables, risers, lighting and other display equipment. Learn to price common household items and finish through the project by working the estate sale days to sell the contents in the home. Assist with the breakdown of equipment at the end of the sale.
• Client Communication: Maintain open and transparent communication with your team lead and clients as needed throughout the relocation process. Address any concerns or questions promptly, and offer reassurance and support to alleviate anxieties. Provide a compassionate presence and lend a listening ear to their concerns and needs.
