Client Services Manager

Senior Helpers of Sarasota/Bradenton

Senior Helpers is a national leader in in-home senior care, and our Sarasota/Bradenton office is expanding. We are seeking a Client Services Manager who can both develop strategic referral partnerships and support the day-to-day client services process — from intake and assessments to care plan development and caregiver coordination — working alongside our Client Services Director and care team. Preferred candidates already have an established referral network in the senior care/healthcare community and can bring that business with them; candidates without an existing network who have strong relationship-building skills and are ready to build one will also be considered.

The ideal candidate is comfortable building relationships with key referral partners — discharge planners, elder law attorneys, guardians, nurses, case managers, assisted living, independent living, and memory care communities, hospice teams, geriatric care managers and more— while also managing the client experience from first inquiry through ongoing care, including assessments, creating care plans, and matching caregivers.
