They often work for moving companies or can be hired independently to provide extra hands during a move. Their primary role is to make the moving process faster, safer, and more efficient by handling heavy lifting and ensuring items are securely transported. Moving Helpers may also offer assistance with organizing items and protecting belongings from damage.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a moving helper, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Moving Helper, you need physical strength, stamina, and basic knowledge of safe lifting and packing techniques, often with a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with moving equipment like dollies, straps, and sometimes inventory tracking apps is typical. Strong teamwork, communication, and customer service skills help you coordinate with clients and colleagues and handle stressful situations calmly. These abilities are crucial for ensuring safe, efficient moves and delivering a positive customer experience.

What are some common challenges moving helpers face on the job, and how can they be managed?

Moving Helpers often encounter challenges such as lifting heavy or awkwardly shaped items, working in varying weather conditions, and navigating tight spaces like stairways or narrow hallways. To manage these challenges, it's important to use proper lifting techniques, communicate clearly with team members, and utilize moving equipment such as dollies and straps.

Job description

Estate & Move Team Member
General Labor (Non-exempt/Part-time)
Title Help Seniors Relocate, Part Time
Caring Transitions of East Stroudsburg is seeking individuals who are interested in part-time, casual, flexible employment to assist with relocation services and the coordination, sorting, and staging of items for estate sales and online auctions in East Stroudsburg and surrounding areas. The ideal candidate will be friendly, customer service oriented, and have a passion for serving others. He/she must be in good physical condition as there could be repetitive lifting and bending, as well as the possibility of working in a dusty/dirty environment. Empathy, honesty, integrity and reliability are paramount and hired employee must successfully pass a criminal background check. Candidate must have cell phone, as well as reliable transportation and GPS/Google maps accessibility in order to travel to various job sites. Hours are as needed and no minimum number of hours is guaranteed. Must be available weekdays and weekend days, as needed.
Caring Transitions helps people, primarily seniors, during times of transition. This can be a move, a divorce, a death, or any major life change. For some jobs we work directly with the client(s), for others we work on our own. Here are some of the different types of jobs we do:
  • Sorting and organizing: we work with the client to go through their things, helping them decide what to keep, donate, discard, etc.
  • Planning: helping clients decide what items they can fit in their new space.
  • Packing: Carefully wrapping and boxing up items to be moved.
  • Moving and resettling: Overseeing movers and making sure items are moved as planned. Resettling involves unpacking the clients’ belongings in their new space. Although we can estimate how long this will take, it may run over and we must stay until the job is complete.
  • Online Estate Sales: We put items into lots, photograph them, and write descriptions using a laptop computer. Lots are then tagged and left until pickup day. The lots are listed on Caring Transitions online auction site (www.ctonlineauctions.com). Pickup days usually take place on a Saturday (this is USUALLY the only time we work on weekends, though emergency moves could require weekend hours). The customers who won the auction lots arrive to pick up their items. Before their arrival, we collect their lots so they are ready when they get there. When all items are picked up, we package leftover items for donation, discard any trash, and sweep floors and vacuum carpets, leaving home ready for next occupants.
  • Cleanouts: There are often instances where we must clean out a home. This includes those with light hoarding situations. They can often be dusty, dirty, and have unpleasant conditions and/or odors. These situations often require compassion and understanding toward the individuals involved.

Each and every job is different. Our goal is to do whatever we can to take the stress out of difficult situations for those involved. The work we do is hard, not always pleasant, but always very rewarding. The client is our most important asset, and we do whatever we can to ease their stress, always.
The job areas include Stroudsburg, East Stroudsburg, Tobyhanna, Mount Pocono, Hawley, Milford and towns in between.
