About Us
Qualicare Home Care is a locally owned and operated home care agency serving New Braunfels and the surrounding communities. We help older adults and individuals with disabilities remain safe and independent in their homes through compassionate, reliable care.
We are looking for a Scheduler who thrives in a fast-paced environment, communicates well under pressure, and genuinely cares about supporting both clients and caregivers.
This Is NOT a Typical Desk Job
If you prefer a predictable day where tasks can wait until tomorrow, this position is probably not a good fit.
Our Scheduler is often the first person responding when a caregiver calls off, a client needs immediate assistance, or a scheduling conflict arises. The right candidate is calm under pressure, solution-oriented, and willing to do what it takes to ensure our clients receive the care they need.
This position is best suited for someone who has previously worked as a caregiver and is looking to grow into an office-based leadership and coordination role while continuing to support clients and caregivers behind the scenes.

Why Caregiving Experience Matters
Our Scheduler/Care Coordinator is responsible for matching caregivers with clients and helping navigate real-life care situations. The ideal candidate understands the realities of caregiving, including personal care, mobility assistance, dementia care, hospice support, companionship, and the challenges caregivers face in the field. This firsthand experience helps ensure better decisions for both our clients and our team.
