About the Role

Are you a seasoned caregiver looking to step out of full-time field work and into an office environment without losing your touch for direct care?

At Assisting Hands , we are expanding, and we are looking for a reliable, highly organized, and proactive team member to become a key player in our operations. In this versatile hybrid role, you will serve as the right hand to our Office Manager, Sharon, keeping our day-to-day administration running seamlessly, while standing by as our trusted, go-to caregiver when emergency field coverage is needed.

If you thrive in a dynamic environment, take pride in exceptional attention to detail, and love knowing your work directly impacts both clients and care teams, this position is for you!

What You’ll Do

1. Core Office & Administrative Support

• Operations: Assist the Office Manager and Owners with daily operations, scanning, filing, and digital document management.

• Compliance: Track and maintain caregiver credentials, certifications, and compliance logs.

• Client Onboarding: Prepare comprehensive client folders for new consultations and assist with urgent intake needs.

• Finance Support: Process invoices, assist with insurance claim filings, and track pending documentation.

• Communication: Answer incoming phones with warmth and professionalism, and assist with caregiver orientations.

2. Priority Field Response (Standby / On-Call Caregiving)

• Emergency Coverage: Step in confidently for last-minute shift gaps or open client needs (during your scheduled office hours of 7:30-3:30).

• Exceptional Care: Provide compassionate, high-standard personal care, assistance with ADLs, full bathing/toileting routines, and brief changes.

• Mobility & Transfers: Safely assist clients using gait belts, slide boards, Hoyer lifts, and other medical equipment.

• Client Transportation: Provide safe transportation for clients to appointments or errands as needed.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven Caregiving Experience: Confident in handling diverse care needs, including advanced transfers (Hoyer lift experience preferred, but training is provided).

• Sharp Administrative Skills: High attention to detail, strong organizational habits, and comfortable learning new office software.

• Reliability & Flexibility: A "jump-in-and-help" mindset with a strong work ethic.

• Professional Adaptability: Comfortable working with diverse clients in various home environments (including homes with pets or smokers).

• Logistics: Valid Driver’s License, reliable personal vehicle, and active auto insurance (required).

Why You’ll Love Working With Us

• Consistent Hours: Enjoy predictable Monday - Friday daytime hours. No late nights or weekend shifts!

• Career Growth: A unique, blended role that builds your administrative skills while honoring your caregiving expertise.

• Supportive Culture: Work directly alongside Office Manager and Owners in a warm, family-oriented atmosphere.

• Great Benefits: Accrue PTO as you work, plus eligibility for quarterly performance bonuses.

PTO will be accrued through employment!
Potential for quarterly bonuses after probationary period!
