Caregiver Advocate

The opportunity

Do you have experience coaching or guiding people in the midst of extraordinarily tough circumstances and burnout? Are you passionate about supporting people in their journey towards a whole and happier life? Steadii is looking for qualified candidates to become one-on-one caregiver advocates for people who are caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or a similar condition. This is a telehealth-style position that is fully remote with flexible schedule options and no in-person meetings or requirements. This is a contract position and pays $40-$50 per hour.

About the work

Caregivers are the largest unpaid healthcare workforce in America, with often little to no mental, emotional, and physical care available to them. Steadii is a community of advocates inspired to change how we care for those that care for another. Our community is powered by a mobile relationship platform to connect advocates and caregivers together.

At Steadii, we combine one-on-one support from live advocates with bite-sized practices that caregivers can use on their own time, to help them feel more sure-footed by increasing their agency, competency, and resilience. We support you through a virtual community where you can get help from other advocates, attend continuing education events and access resources that benefit you and your caregivers.

As an advocate, you will serve as the primary face to caregivers, offering telebased emotional support and advice through regular check-ins. Advocates will be responsible for guiding caregivers through evidence-based practices that support their wholeness, and assisting with caregiver community content, events, and moderation.

What you’ll do

• Onboard new family Caregivers into the Steadii experience through review of their Steadii level assessment and their specific caregiving style.
• Help caregivers explore their unique caregiving style based on the Steadii curriculum, which assists in tailoring advice and practices to the individual caregiver.
• Provide family Caregivers emotional support, coaching and non-medical advice through regular 45-minute video/phone check-ins.
• Deliver each Caregiver’s whole care plan, offering and demonstrating various practices informed by their Steadii level and caregiving style.
• Assess their overall Steadii level and communicate, through various reports and in-person sessions, their progress towards wholeness.
• Participate in regular advocate community meetings and other supplementary training events, calls or webinars.
• Develop and deliver presentations to the advocate community based on personal interest and contribute to the ongoing development of shared wholeness practices for caregivers (optional).

Who you are

• You have a degree, or are completing a degree, or have experience in social work, counseling, therapy, psychology or an associated field. Experience with the Enneagram is a plus, but not required.
• You have experience as a family caregiver or are passionate about family caregiving or helping people through the caregiving journey.
