Customer service advocate jobs in Palm Coast, FL

Client Care Advocate, known in our firm as an Elder Law Care Coordinator We're building something meaningful at Coastal Legacy Law, and we need a compassionate, organized, community-minded person with a social work (ideally working with the elderly) or nursing background to help shape it with us. Our Elder Law Program is growing fast, and we're looking for someone who can help build the bridge as we cross it. This is a non-clinical, advocacy-based position within a compassionate elder law firm. You'll use your clinical/social work insight to help families navigate care options, not provide direct medical treatment. This role is part social work, part advocacy, part program development, and 100% people-centered. If you've ever helped a family navigate the maze of long-term care, Medicaid, or aging-related transitions, you know how complicated and emotional it can get. That's where you come in. What It's Like to Work Here At Coastal Legacy Law, we're a boutique but mighty estate planning and elder law firm serving Volusia County and beyond. We're a tight-knit team that believes in compassion, clarity, and accountability - to each other and to the families we serve. We're different from so many other firms. We don't just handle cases; we genuinely care about clients, and we walk with people through major life transitions. Important Notes Hybrid role based in Volusia County Travel is required throughout the county Full-time, salaried position Predictable Schedule No hospital chaos Why You'll Love Working Here You'll become the bridge between families, care providers, and legal advocates, shaping how our community ages with dignity. Supportive, Collaborative Culture: We work with each other, not for each other. No egos, no silos, just teamwork. Work-Life Integration: Hybrid flexibility, no regular weekends, flexible PTO, and occasional community events. Benefits: 401(k) with match after 1 year, monthly health care stipend (currently, we do not offer health benefits, but we have plans on bringing this in 2026), and continuing education support. Meaningful Work: Protect families, preserve legacies, and make a real impact in our community. Career Growth: Potential for growth into a leadership role as we continue to grow. Sound Like You?

Partner with our marketing team to connect with the community by attending local events, meeting referral partners, and sharing our services (note: there is a sales component to this). Administrative & Operational Management Keep meticulous notes and stay on top of details (because in Elder Law, the little things matter a lot).

Key Competencies "Clinical Sales" Ability: The ability to guide a family toward a solution (sales) without them feeling sold to.

Crisis Management: Capability to remain calm and strategic when a client is in panic mode (e.g., sudden hospital discharge on a Friday afternoon). Meticulous Documentation: A natural tendency toward detailed record-keeping. In a law firm, "if it isn't written down, it didn't happen."
