Estate Sale & Senior Relocation Assistant - Part-Time, Great Neck/Queens

Before applying, please note: this role requires your own reliable car and a flexible weekday schedule (generally Monday–Friday, 10am–3pm). If that works for you, read on — this might be a great fit.

Caring Transitions of Great Neck helps elderly clients and their families through some of life's most significant transitions — downsizing from a long-time home, resettling into a new one, or clearing out a home after the loss of a loved one. We manage relocations, conduct online auctions and estate sales, and perform compassionate, professional clean-outs. We serve clients in and around Great Neck, Queens, and surrounding areas.

We're part of Caring Transitions, a national franchise with over 400 locations and the largest senior relocation company in the country. Our Great Neck team is small, hands-on, and genuinely proud of the work we do.

Duties include (but are not limited to):

• Sorting and organizing client’s household belongings for packing, moving, selling, donation or disposal.
• Online auction or estate sale preparation and setup
• Packing/boxing household items to be moved
• Unpacking and resettling clients in their new home
• Moving supplies/boxes within the customers’ homes
• Light cleaning including sweeping and vacuuming
• Interacting with customers and their families

Hours: Part-time, variable hours Monday-Friday and occasionally Saturdays. Shifts are generally from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. There is no guarantee of work. Shifts become available as jobs are sold.

Plusses+:

• We reduce our client’s stress levels in otherwise highly stressful times
• On-the-job training. No specific experience required.
• Supportive and encouraging management.

Required for the job:

• Must agree to background and driving record checks
• Excellent attention to detail

• Must be able to safely and repeatedly lift up to 35 pounds, stand and walk for extended periods, and perform physical tasks such as bending, reaching, and climbing stairs.
• Must have a smartphone (for scheduling, time-keeping, project management and processing auction items)

What we look for in a candidate:

• Patience, empathy and compassion – we work with a vulnerable clientele who are going through difficult times
• Maturity; life experience
• Comfortable speaking with people
• Self-motivation and willingness to learn
• A team player; works well with, and collaborates with others
• Reliability, punctuality and integrity
• Comfortable working in a dusty or dirty environment at times. N95 masks and gloves are provided.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to make extra money while helping others, and who doesn’t require a consistent work/schedule. Life experience is helpful in this job, but no specific experience is required.
