Touching Hearts at Home Dayton is seeking an individual to fill a critical leadership role within our office support team. Experience providing care for older adults in a home care setting is highly desireable, but not a requirement. Competency in delivering care to individuals with complex needs such as memory care, bedbound care, and hoyer transfers will need to be demonstrated during the first thirty days of training for the position. An associates degree or higher and/or an STNA or MA certificate is desirable, although care experience and knowledge is equally valued. The position is part of a team of ten individuals responsible for ensuring the satisfaction of our care team and clients. 

The position is based in our Kettering office and is NOT REMOTE. The Care Specialist supports our care team and clients on the phone, by text, by email, and in person in our clients' homes as needed. Responsibilities include participating in care plan adjustments for clients, providing "on demand" and as needed scheduling, working open shifts with clients when shortages arise, and providing training & supervisory visits to our clients' homes. A willingness and eagerness to provide hands on care when needed is required, and expertise in hands on care will be critical. Some weeks could be as much as 100% of scheduled time working with clients. Providing outstanding care to our clients is always the top priority.

The ability to thrive working at a fast pace in a high pressure environment is key to success in the position. The position is full time with a somewhat flexible work schedule. On call duties are a required part of this position, with one weekend evening/night per week, plus rotating Fridays once monthly, every other weekend, and two rotating holidays each year.

We are a close knit team at Touching Hearts at Home and we rely on each other to ensure we are providing the highest quality home care for our clients, and an engaging and fulfilling work environment for our care team. We hire only committed, professional individuals who love working with older adults. We do what we do because we want to make a positive impact on the lives of our clients, their families, and our care team. We expect this same level of passion from every team member. Our core values are Curiosity, Humility, Optimism, Inspiration, Commitment, and Enthusiasm, and our mission that must be embraced by the entire Touching Hearts at Home team is to work together with kindness, grace, and a servant heart to honor older adults and empower them to live life to its fullest.

Touching Hearts at Home offers the opportunity to be part of work that mattters! Benefits include paid time off, health insurance, a retirement savings plan, and competetive pay. We encourage and provide professional development opportunities as part of your growth plan with Touching Hearts at Home, and there is an oppotunity for long term growth in this position if desired. You will be valued, supported, and appreciated for dedication and commitment.
