• As a pediatric client advocate, you will facilitate a partnership between families, schools, and the local healthcare systems to ensure that your clients are able to attend and participate in school and community activities and engage successfully with the curriculum.

This Position Will Align With Your Practice If

• You enjoy flexibility and autonomy over your schedule.
• You want to make a lasting change in a child's life.
• You have a passion for working with children.
