Help Us Grow Care in Southwest Florida VIP America of Southwest Florida is seeking an energetic, relationship-driven Community Relations & Recruitment Specialist to help expand our presence throughout Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, North Port, Venice, and surrounding communities. This is a unique growth-focused position combining community outreach, referral development, business development, and caregiver recruitment . We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys meeting people, developing relationships, creating opportunities, recruiting great caregivers, and seeing their efforts translate into measurable growth. This is not a desk-only position. You will be an ambassador for VIP America in the community, developing referral partnerships, representing our organization at community events, and building the caregiver network necessary to support our continued growth. Why Choose to Work with Us? VIP America is a family-owned and family-centered nurse registry serving residents throughout South and Central Florida. Since 1997, we have been referring professional caregivers to assist adults who want to remain safe and independent in their homes. We accomplish this by living our Core Values and fulfilling our mission of people helping people stay independent. The VIP family believes in working hard, celebrating each other's successes, achieving goals together, and, above all, putting people first.

You Will Love Our Culture If:

You are rewarded by knowing your work has made a positive impact on the lives of people in your community. You are family-oriented and enjoy being part of a team that supports one another. You enjoy establishing and maintaining long-term relationships with clients, referral partners, and care professionals. You crave new challenges while understanding the importance of following established standards and processes. You seek solutions when problems arise rather than being deterred by them. You have an ownership mentality and believe taking initiative and action is part of your responsibility. You are someone who rises to the occasion when a challenge presents itself. Your integrity isn't for sale. Ethics and doing the right thing guide your decisions. You believe trust is essential to every successful professional relationship. Poor customer service bothers you because you understand that exceptional service is essential to a healthy organization's success. You embrace technology, communication, accountability, and continuous improvement. You are strategic about setting goals, and persistent about achieving them. What You'll Do Community Relations & Business Development Develop and maintain relationships with hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, physician offices, senior communities, case managers, social workers, community organizations, and other referral partners. Conduct consistent in-person marketing and relationship-building visits throughout the assigned territory. Attend networking events, community events, senior-focused programs, professional meetings, and other opportunities to represent VIP America. Educate referral partners, prospective clients, and families about VIP America's services. Generate qualified referrals and assist with converting opportunities into new clients. Maintain consistent follow-up with referral partners and track outreach activities and results. Identify underserved communities and new opportunities for growth throughout the territory. Develop relationships that create sustainable, long-term referral partnerships, not simply one-time leads. Caregiver Recruitment Build and maintain an active pipeline of qualified caregivers and independent contractors. Recruit through job boards, community partnerships, social media, referrals, schools, workforce organizations, networking, and local events. Screen candidates and coordinate interviews and onboarding. Develop relationships with community organizations that can become ongoing recruiting sources. Recruit proactively based on anticipated client needs and territory growth. Track recruiting activity, candidate pipelines, onboarding progress, and successful placements. Work closely with operations to ensure caregiver availability supports new client growth. Who We're Looking For We are looking for someone who is naturally comfortable starting conversations, walking into new organizations, building relationships, asking for business, recruiting great people, and consistently following up.

The ideal candidate will have:

Experience in home care, healthcare, senior services, recruiting, sales, marketing, community relations, or business development. Strong interpersonal, presentation, and communication skills. A confident, professional, outgoing personality. Excellent follow-through and organizational skills. The ability to work independently, prioritize responsibilities, and manage a territory. A results-driven mindset and an understanding that activity should ultimately produce measurable results. The confidence to develop new relationships while nurturing existing ones. Reliable transportation and the ability to travel locally throughout the assigned territory. Home care or healthcare experience is strongly preferred. Existing relationships with healthcare providers, senior-care organizations, case managers, social workers, or other referral sources within the local community are a significant plus. What Success Looks Like This is a results-oriented position . Success isn't measured simply by how many places you visit or how many candidates you contact. We want those activities to produce meaningful growth.

Your success will include:

Developing new, active referral relationships throughout the territory. Generating consistent, qualified client referrals. Contributing to growth in new clients and billable service hours. Building and maintaining a dependable pipeline of qualified caregivers. Improving our ability to quickly staff new cases. Increasing VIP America's visibility and reputation throughout the community. Consistently meeting established recruiting, outreach, and growth goals. Compensation & Benefits $47,000-$55,000 annual base salary , depending on experience. Performance-based incentive opportunities tied to recruiting and territory growth. Mileage reimbursement for approved business travel. Paid time off. Training and ongoing leadership support.

This is an opportunity to help build something—to develop relationships throughout the community, connect exceptional caregivers with opportunities, help families find the support they need, and play a meaningful role in the continued growth of VIP America.
