    Community and Client Relations Associate

    Bergen & Passaic County, NJ
    Full-Time | Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM or 9:00 AM–5:00 PM
    Compensation: Starting at $90,000+, based on experience

    We are seeking a driven and personable Community and Client Relations Associate to help expand our home care services across Bergen and Passaic Counties. This full-time role is ideal for someone who thrives in the field, enjoys building meaningful relationships, and is passionate about helping individuals access high-quality care. The associate will work closely with the Director of Community Relations and other team leaders to cultivate and grow referral sources across Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs), Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs), Independent Livings, hospitals, and private homes.

    This position is central to the growth of both our Home Care and Senior Living divisions. The associate will represent our services to facility partners and private clients, participate in networking events, and engage with new and established accounts to increase patient referrals. While prior sales experience is a plus, we are open to training the right individual who understands the home care landscape and has the right personality and drive to succeed.

    The position involves a combination of office planning and field outreach, with one designated office day each week (Paramus) to coordinate schedules and attend internal business development meetings. The remainder of the week will be spent in the field, meeting with up to 5–8 referral sources per day. This role requires someone who is self-directed, professional, and capable of managing multiple relationships simultaneously.
