About Our Company
Home Care Powered by AUAF is a fast-growing, non-profit organization providing non-medical, in-home services for over 30 years. Our mission is to provide quality, in-home service that will allow seniors to live comfortably and independently in the familiarity of their own home.
About the Position
The primary responsibility of a Field Supervisor is to ensure that our clients are receiving the appropriate services and that our Home Care Aides are following the established plan of care. The expectation is that each Field Supervisor will spend the majority of their time visiting clients. Visitation times will vary depending on the Home Care Aides schedule. As such, a Field Supervisor will be expected to work some evenings and weekends. Since employees have the flexibility to set their visitation schedules each week, this 40-hour-per-week position does not warrant overtime.
