Job Title:  Director, CareWorks

 

Position Summary

We are seeking a seasoned start-up leader to build CareWorks – a learning experience organization that will bring expert training solutions to the fast growing home care marketplace. Powered by lean start-up and design thinking methods, CareWorks will ramp up to fill a critical training gap in the home care workforce nationwide and prevent the coming care crisis. Over the next decade, demand for home care workers will grow to more than 2 million making home care America’s “top job.” Yet, this “top job” is largely characterized by limited or no training leading to high on-the-job injury rates and compromises to quality of care. CareWorks is on a mission to fill this gap with high value, evidence based learning experiences designed for busy home care workers who want to build knowledge and skills to provide safe, quality care with empathy and compassion. Powered by new and experimental learning science and technology solutions, CareWorks will offer solutions that are easy to access, fun, and relevant. This leadership position will drive all aspects of start-up. If you have hands-on start-up experience in long-term care, healthcare, or education and want to make a difference in the lives of home care workers and the older adults and people with disabilities they care for, we want to hear from you!
