Job description

About the Opportunity

Pair Team is building a team of deeply passionate individuals ready to change primary care operations for those who need it most. We are looking for a highly motivated full-time Lead Care Manager who is willing to think creatively and empathically to help our team change the way people access healthcare.

We seek a full-time Lead Care Manager to play a critical role in our whole-person interdisciplinary care model, responsible for directly outreaching and engaging with individuals living with Serious Mental Illness / Substance Use Disorder, experiencing homelessness, and/or those who have high medical needs. We believe in the power of trust and relationships to successfully engage those who may have never received the kind of whole-health care that Pair Team can provide.

This position primarily allows for remote work; however, it includes 2-3 times a month on-site visits in the community alongside a fellow PairMate. You can expect to engage in these in-person activities 2-3 times per month, close to your city, while the majority of your duties, approximately 90%, will be performed from your home.

What You’ll Do

• Maintain ongoing caseload of individuals through evidence based approaches to promote engagement and achievement of health goals
• Use relationship-based strategies to support members with social support navigation, understanding that many may have lived personal experiences causing them to be initially hesitant or distrusting of the health care system
• Conduct periodic telephonic and SMS outreach to ensure timely follow-up to members
• Work with members to identify health/wellness goals and incorporate goals into Health Action Plan/Shared Care Plan
• Support nurse care manager, behavioral health care manager, nurse practitioner and Community Engagement Specialist with delegated tasks
• Collaborate on care issues with Enhanced Care Management team by participating in systematic case reviews and consulting with nurse care manager, behavioral health care manager, and nurse practitioner before taking clinical actions
• Consistently meet monthly encounter metrics to ensure compliance with health plan regulations
• Identify and break down barriers ensuring individuals’ continuation with the program
• Assist individuals in securing connection to community supports by scheduling appointments, managing referrals, and ensuring timely follow-ups
• Coordinate physical care management appointments through collaboration with external and internal providers
• Utilize external and internal online platforms to collaborate with team members and carry out daily tasks

What You’ll Need

• 1+ years of general work experience (Case Management preferred)
• Physically located in California
  • Field Ops requires reliable transportation for engagement at clinic, community based organization, and health system partner locations
  • Virtual Ops requires a quiet, HIPAA compliant and internet connected space
• Bilingual – English/Spanish
• Strong understanding of cultural fluency
• High degree of empathy
• Ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team
• An eye for optimization
• Organizational skills
• Ability to remain patient when faced with adversity
• Strong technical skills and comfort with technology innovation, past experience with CRM databases, basic Excel, Word, email, and video conferencing
• A valid driver’s license and auto liability insurance

Preferred Qualifications

• Demonstrated professional or personal lived experience working closely with individuals experiencing complex chronic needs, homelessness, or Severe Mental Illness/Substance Use Disorder
• 2+ years of case management experience
• Experience with motivational interviewing
• Knowledge of medical terminology
• Zest for problem solving, seeking answers, and thinking outside the box
• Detail-oriented and organized self-starter who is a rockstar multitasker
• Reliable and comfortable in an ever-changing environment

Because We Value You

• Salary: $22-$25/hour
• Comprehensive health, vision & dental insurance
• 401k
• Monthly $100 work from home expense stipend for your WFH days
• Gas reimbursements for your on-site engagement days
• Flexible vacation policy – take the time you need to recharge!
