Serving Baldwin, Mobile, and Escambia Counties, the Daphne-based franchise has become one of the top-performing agencies in the Synergy network. Their team of 100+ caregivers provides compassionate, dependable, and high-quality in-home assistance — from companionship and daily living support to more complex care situations.

At the heart of Synergy’s mission is a deep commitment to servant leadership, Christian faith, teamwork, and community impact. The organization’s culture is family-oriented, team-centered, and grounded in trust — both internally and with the families they serve. Every quarter, the team participates in community service projects, and twice a year they host Caregiver Appreciation Days, reinforcing a culture that values care, gratitude, and growth.

• Foster external relationships: Partner with community healthcare providers, hospitals, and referral sources to maintain Synergy’s trusted reputation.

EXPERIENCE NEEDED:

• 5+ years of leadership experience in healthcare, home care, hospice, assisted living, or a related client-service setting
• Proven track record in operations management , people leadership , and quality/process improvement .
• RN licensure strongly preferred — ideally an RN ready to step away from long clinical shifts and lead through operational and relational influence.
• Servant-hearted and trustworthy – models integrity and compassion; inspires trust from caregivers and clients alike.
• Process-minded and detail-oriented – naturally looks for ways to streamline workflows and improve communication.
