Ready to make a real impact? Join Ambercare/Addus HomeCare and help older adults and individuals with disabilities live safely and independently at home!

Ambercare is currently seeking a Full Time Service Coordinator out of their Albuquerque NM location! Responsible for scheduling and supervising in-home care workers and clients in a geographic area. If you seek a challenging position with the satisfaction of knowing that you have helped older people and people with disabilities live safely at home, this is the job for you!
