Assisting Hands Home Care is seeking a full-time Lead Scheduler to take ownership of caregiver scheduling and care coordination in a fast-paced home care setting.

This position is fully in-office and best suited for someone who takes pride in ownership, preparation, and follow-through, and who is comfortable leading when situations are time-sensitive.
