Office & Operations Manager

About Us

At Senior Helpers of Bridgeton, our mission is to provide compassionate, high-quality in-home care that allows seniors to age safely, comfortably, and independently in their own homes.

We believe exceptional care starts with exceptional people. As part of the Senior Helpers franchise network, recognized as a Great Place to Work, we are committed to creating a supportive environment where caregivers, clients, and employees feel valued.

As we launch and grow our presence across Cumberland and Salem Counties, we are looking for a motivated, organized, and people-focused Office & Operations Manager to help build and manage our daily operations.

About the Role
