Role Overview

The Home Care Scheduler serves as the operational nerve center, ensuring seamless client care by efficiently managing and coordinating caregiver schedules, patient appointments, and healthcare provider coordination. This role is not a typical call center position—you'll handle complex scheduling challenges across home care agencies, anticipate problems before they escalate, and serve as a vital communication link between clients, caregivers, healthcare providers, and agency staff. Working with AI-enhanced platforms and traditional scheduling systems, you'll step in when human judgment and problem-solving are essential. You'll manage high-volume operations, including caregiver call-outs, coverage gaps, provider outreach, and clinical consultations while maintaining accuracy and delivering consistent, high-quality home care services.

Your Impact

Your scheduling excellence will directly impact patient care quality, client satisfaction, and operational efficiency across home care agencies. By ensuring reliable caregiver coverage and resolving scheduling conflicts in real-time, you'll prevent service disruptions that could compromise vulnerable patient populations. Your proactive approach to identifying coverage gaps will enhance continuity of care for clients who depend on consistent support. Through strategic provider coordination and persistent follow-up, you'll accelerate patient access to life-saving medications and clinical consultations. Your ability to manage 75+ clients and 300+ hours of schedules will maximize caregiver utilization while maintaining work-life balance for care teams. Your attention to detail in documentation will prevent missed calls, billing errors, and compliance issues.
