Boynton Beach, FL • On-site

$18/hr

Part-time

Posted 25 days ago

Job description

About Us
At Caring Transitions of Delray Beach West & Boynton Beach, we do more than help people downsize or relocate; we create moments of dignity, relief, and joy for seniors and their families during life's big transitions. From organizing cherished possessions to showcasing them on our national auction platform, we bring compassion, creativity, and professionalism to every project. Our team is known for working hard, laughing together, and loving what we do. If you have a heart for helping others, a passion for creativity, and enjoy working with a supportive team, we'd love to meet you.
Position Overview
We're seeking an Online Auction Manager who combines attention to detail with creative flair and a heart for service. In this role, your research, photography, and storytelling will bring treasured items-antiques, fine art, collectibles, and vintage décor-to vivid life on CTBIDS.com. You'll help tell the story of these objects, honor the seniors who entrusted them, and make the auction process meaningful and respectful. This role will begin as part time and transition to a full-time role as the business scales in size.
What You'll Do
  • Sort & Organize Homes - Go through all areas of a client's property to carefully sort belongings into categories: items to sell, donate, dispose of, or move to the family's new home.
  • Craft Engaging Listings - Write creative, accurate, and compelling auction descriptions that highlight the important details.
  • Capture the Details - Photograph items in ways that showcase their uniqueness and appeal to buyers.
  • Research Treasures - Explore the history and value of antiques, collectibles, and everyday household items.
  • Support Seniors On-Site - Work in homes across the Lake Oconee area to identify and prepare items for sale.
  • Assist with Packing & Resettling - Spend 2-3 days each month helping seniors pack belongings, prepare for moves, and unpack/resettle into new homes. This includes organizing living spaces, maintaining routines, and creating a welcoming environment. Please note: our team does not perform the actual moving or heavy lifting.
  • Collaborate as a Team - Partner with colleagues who share your dedication to compassion, professionalism, and teamwork.

Who This Job is Perfect For
This flexible, part-time role is a great fit for:
  • Retired seniors looking to stay active and make a meaningful impact.
  • Military spouses who value flexibility and community-centered work.
  • College students seeking part-time hours that complement their studies.
  • Anyone looking to earn extra hours while doing work that truly matters.

What We're Looking For
  • A caring attitude and a genuine desire to make life easier for seniors and their families.
  • Strong communication skills and a professional, positive demeanor.
  • Reliability, integrity, creativity, and attention to detail.
  • Comfort working in fast-paced, sometimes cluttered environments.
  • Physical ability to lift up to 25 lbs, bend, climb, and stand for extended periods.
  • Reliable transportation, valid driver's license, and smartphone
  • Must pass a background check.

Position Details
  • Job Type: Part-time, 15-30 hours, with opportunities for additional hours depending on workload.
  • Starting Pay: $18/hour
  • Benefits: Flexible schedule, rewarding work, and the satisfaction of making a real difference.
  • Schedule: 5-8 hour shifts, Monday-Friday, with occasional Saturdays.
