About the Role

We’re looking for a friendly, dependable Virtual Assistant to manage front desk calls and staff scheduling for a well-established U.S. home care agency with over 70 employees serving more than 50 clients.

• Make outbound calls: Return calls, confirm schedules, contact available staff for replacement coverage, and communicate service updates.
• Manage scheduling: Maintain caregiver and nursing schedules, address staff call-outs, and coordinate last-minute replacements.
• Provide virtual front desk support: Address routine inquiries, take accurate messages, route concerns, and escalate urgent matters appropriately.
• Keep patients, clients, and staff informed about scheduling changes and follow up on unresolved concerns.
• Maintain accurate call notes, schedules, and relevant records in the agency’s home care management system.
• Help minimize missed calls and coverage gaps while completing responsibilities within scheduled hours.
