About The Position

Carolina Home Access helps seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, and individuals recovering from an injury or medical event remain safely in the homes they love. We provide stair lifts, wheelchair ramps, grab bars, handrails, bathroom modifications, lighting improvements, equipment rentals, and other accessibility solutions. We are looking for a compassionate healthcare or accessibility professional who is comfortable guiding families through important decisions. This is sales, but it is not about pressure. It is about listening carefully, identifying risks, recommending the right solution, and helping clients confidently move forward. As a Home Accessibility Consultant, you will meet with clients and families in their homes, evaluate their routines and accessibility challenges, and recommend practical solutions. The ideal candidate understands activities of daily living and has experience working directly with older adults, people with disabilities, rehabilitation patients, or families navigating changing mobility needs. You should also be comfortable asking for the business and clearly explaining why recommended improvements are important. This opportunity is especially well suited to an occupational therapist, physical therapist, home health professional, nurse, aging-in-place specialist, accessibility consultant, or other healthcare professional seeking flexible and meaningful supplemental work.

• Understanding of activities of daily living, mobility limitations, fall-prevention concepts, disability needs, or home-safety considerations.
• Experience in consultative sales, including discussing pricing, answering questions, following up, and asking clients whether they are ready to proceed.
• Strong observation, communication, organization, documentation, and relationship-building skills.
• Ability to explain product and accessibility options in clear, nontechnical language.

• Ability to lift and carry basic assessment tools, product samples, and measuring equipment (up to approximately 25 pounds) and to take accurate measurements within clients' homes.
• Ability to use a smartphone, tablet, or laptop to document consultations, measurements, photographs (with client permission), and project information.
