You’ll be responsible for working with Homeward members and their primary care physicians to achieve their best health. You’ll conduct proactive telephonic, video, and in-person outreach to build relationships with members and connect them with services they need, both clinical and beyond, and address gaps in their care.

• Develop personalized care plans for members that incorporate member goals and Homeward best practices
• Conduct assessments, check-ins, and/or visits with members telephonically, virtually, in-clinic, and/or in-home on a regular basis
• Collaborate with members’ primary care providers and their teams to ensure cohesive care
• Build for scale by identifying and maintaining a list of community resources and contacts to meet our members’ needs
• Support other Homeward Navigators in maintaining member panels within the same geography
  
  

What You Bring

• Clinical certification such as Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), Community Health Worker (CHW), or similar
• At least 2 years of experience in high-touch, patient-facing roles, preferably with seniors
• Expertise with the local community, geography, culture, healthcare ecosystem, and available resources
• Demonstrated proficiency with EHRs and other technology that supports outreach
• Empathy and ability to persuade members to take actions that support their health
