This is a hands-on leadership position for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, knows how to lead people, holds teams accountable, and is passionate about delivering outstanding service to clients and their families.
The General Manager will have overall responsibility for ensuring our departments are working together effectively, our business is growing, our employees are supported and held accountable, and our clients consistently receive the highest quality of care.
This is not a traditional 8:30–5:00 position. We are looking for a leader who understands that a growing home-care business requires flexibility, responsiveness, and a willingness to step up when the team, our clients, or our caregivers need support.
What You'll Be Responsible For

- Meeting caregiver and employee recruitment goals.
- Improving caregiver and employee retention.
- Ensuring open positions are filled quickly and effectively.
- Creating a culture where employees feel valued, supported, and accountable.
- Coaching and developing team members.
- Recognizing strong performance and addressing performance concerns promptly.
- Building a team that understands and lives our mission and values.
- Holding leaders accountable for their recruitment and retention KPIs.
Protect Quality of Care
- Ensure clients receive exceptional, reliable, and compassionate care.
- Monitor client satisfaction and promptly address concerns.
- Ensure employee and client concerns are handled professionally and effectively.
- Partner with the Client Care and Scheduling teams to resolve issues before they become larger problems.
- Maintain a culture where quality care is never compromised for growth.
- Ensure the entire team understands that quality, safety, and client satisfaction are non-negotiable.
Ensure Compliance
The General Manager will be responsible for helping ensure the office operates in accordance with:
- Virginia Department of Health requirements and regulations
- Home Instead corporate/franchise standards
- Company policies and procedures

Be a Leader When Things Get Difficult
Home care can be unpredictable.
Clients have emergencies. Caregivers call out. Employees have concerns. Schedules change. Families need answers.
We need a leader who can remain calm, professional, and solution-oriented under pressure.
The General Manager will participate in after-hours/on-call leadership support and must be available when needed to support the scheduling team, respond to client inquiries, and assist with significant client or employee concerns.
We are looking for someone who understands that leadership sometimes means answering the phone when it isn't convenient, stepping into a problem personally, and making sure the team knows they are supported.
What We're Looking For
The ideal candidate is:
- A strong, confident leader who can inspire people while holding them accountable.
- Highly driven and motivated by measurable results.
- Entrepreneurial and comfortable taking ownership rather than waiting to be told what to do.

- An excellent communicator who can effectively communicate with clients, families, caregivers, and employees.
- Comfortable having difficult conversations and addressing performance issues.
- Adaptable and able to change direction quickly as business needs change.
- Customer-service focused and committed to providing an exceptional client experience.
- Comfortable working outside of traditional business hours when the needs of the business require it.
- Able to balance business growth with quality care, employee satisfaction, and compliance.
- Someone who takes ownership and follows through.
- Someone who is energized by challenges rather than overwhelmed by them.
Required Qualifications
- Demonstrated leadership and management experience.
- Strong track record of professional success and stability.
- Proven ability to manage people, performance, and business operations.
- Strong organizational, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Tips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship Jobs in Virginia
Target Northern Virginia's federal contractor corridor
The cluster of defense and IT contractors around Tysons Corner, Reston, and Herndon files some of the highest volumes of PERM labor certifications in the country. Prioritizing employers in this corridor significantly improves your odds of finding Green Card sponsorship.
Understand the PERM timeline before you apply
Most employer-sponsored Green Cards in Virginia require PERM labor certification, which can take 12 to 18 months before an I-140 is even filed. Knowing this timeline helps you prioritize employers who have already started the process for similar roles.
Look for employers with a track record of sponsorship
Search DOL OFLC disclosure data to identify Virginia employers who have filed PERM applications in your occupation. Companies with repeated filings in your field are far more likely to sponsor again than employers with no history of Green Card petitions.
Focus on roles with clear degree-to-job alignment
PERM requires the employer to document that your specific qualifications are a business necessity. Roles where your degree field directly matches the job description, such as software engineering or biomedical research, face fewer recruitment compliance challenges during the audit process.
Browse visa-specific job listings on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate filters jobs by visa sponsorship type, so you can search specifically for Green Card sponsorship roles in Virginia without sifting through listings where sponsorship is unavailable. This saves significant time during an already complex job search.
Engage Richmond and Hampton Roads employers in healthcare and life sciences
Virginia's healthcare systems and research institutions outside Northern Virginia also sponsor Green Cards, particularly for physicians, nurses, and research scientists. These markets receive less applicant competition than the Northern Virginia tech corridor, which can work in your favor.

Get Access To All JobsGreen Card Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions
Which industries in Virginia sponsor the most Green Cards?
Information technology, defense contracting, and cybersecurity lead Green Card sponsorship in Virginia, driven by the dense employer concentration in Northern Virginia. Healthcare and life sciences are the next largest categories, with hospitals, research universities, and pharmaceutical firms in Richmond and the broader Mid-Atlantic region filing significant volumes of PERM labor certifications annually.
Which cities in Virginia have the most Green Card sponsorship jobs?
Northern Virginia, specifically the cities and communities of McLean, Tysons Corner, Reston, Herndon, and Arlington, accounts for the overwhelming majority of Green Card sponsorship activity in the state due to its federal contractor and tech employer base. Richmond generates sponsorship volume through healthcare and state-government-adjacent industries, while Hampton Roads has a smaller but steady pipeline through defense and logistics employers.
What types of roles typically qualify for Green Card sponsorship in Virginia?
Roles that consistently qualify include software engineers, cybersecurity analysts, systems architects, network engineers, data scientists, physicians, registered nurses, and research scientists. These positions typically require at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field, which satisfies the specialty occupation standard underpinning most employment-based Green Card categories filed by Virginia employers.
How do I find Green Card sponsorship jobs in Virginia?
Migrate Mate lets you filter job listings specifically by Green Card sponsorship in Virginia, which removes the guesswork of identifying which employers are actually willing to sponsor. Beyond dedicated platforms, reviewing DOL OFLC PERM disclosure data for Virginia employers in your occupation gives you a verifiable list of companies with a demonstrated sponsorship history to prioritize in your search.
What is the prevailing wage for Green Card jobs in Virginia?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
