Social Worker in Senior Care

Duet Care at Home is a rapidly growing home care agency that connects talented caregivers with seniors living in New York City. We recruit health care workers, artists and performing artists, nursing and graduate students, and individuals who desire a rewarding "encore" or second career. Matching the right caregiver with each client is essential for improving the quality of life for our clients.

The Client Services Advisor will be responsible for ensuring that our clients have the right people and supports in place to optimize their quality of life. Very often, they will be the first person that our clients and their family members meet from Duet. They will be responsible for assessing the needs of clients, determining the traits and experiences needed by the caregiver(s) who will support a particular client, and continuously recommending resources and ideas throughout the term of service.

The Client Services Advisor will assist with coordinating the efforts of the Client Service team. This will entail attending team meetings and working with all team members to onboard and support clients. The Advisor will also be involved in maintaining relationships with key members of other organizations that can provide services to our clients – for example, professional geriatric care managers or social workers at healthcare and non-profit organizations.
