Assistant Care Manager The Assistant Care Manager (ACM) is a supporting leadership role at HomeFree, dedicated to one high-needs client who receives continuous, 24/7 care in their home.

You’ll partner with the Lead Care Manager (LCM), who owns the client relationship and is the final decision-maker on the client account. Your role will be to extend the LCM’s reach, carry a meaningful share of the day-to-day, and step in with confidence so that care never lapses.

Role at a glance

This is a part-time (0.5 FTE) position. It isn’t a standard 9–5 role. Care needs in the client’s household arise across days, evenings, and weekends. You’ll share after-hours coverage with the LCM and, in coordination with the LCM, you’ll have flexibility to organize your working hours around the account’s needs, scheduled meetings, in-home responsibilities and after-hours coverage.

You must be a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or Registered Nurse (RN) to qualify for the ACM role. The role combines direct, in-home care with care-team coaching and care coordination. You’ll work closely with the client, their family, the dedicated care team and HomeFree’s Clinical Operations team, while reporting directly to the LCM.

This is a salaried 0.5-FTE position based on 20 hours per week. The starting salary range is $41,600 to $46,800.

- Maintain a consistent approach so the family and care team experience one unified HomeFree account-leadership team.
