Opportunity Highlights

Enhanced Care Management is a statewide Medi-Cal benefit available to individuals with complex needs. The Care Coordinator will lead the assessment, care plan development and ongoing care management of eligible participants under the supportive guidance of an ECM Supervisor. Our program specifically targets foster youth and other at-risk youth populations, but may also include their family members. The Care Coordinator utilizes motivational interviewing to engage individuals to support them in better managing their chronic conditions. The Care Coordinator actively engages individuals to remove barriers to health, social services, and behavioral health care.

The Care Coordinator Opportunity Includes

• A job with a purpose; help support youth and families in need
• Hourly pay rate: $22.00 per hour to start, or higher with prior ECM experience

• Work with a great team of people who care about each other and care about our mission to help youth and families find hope and healing
• Mileage reimbursement for miles driven for business

This is a part-time role, initially offering 20–25 hours per week. Because this is a caseload-driven position, scheduled hours may increase or decrease over time based on client assignments and business needs.

As caseloads grow, additional hours may become available; if caseloads decrease, scheduled hours may be adjusted accordingly. Shifts are generally scheduled during normal business hours and may extend into the early evening based on member needs. Some scheduling flexibility is available to accommodate your personal schedule, provided client and business needs continue to be met.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct assessments of individuals' needs and formulate individualized care plans
• Enthusiastically educate and enroll clients about services, and motivate them to engage in services.
• Meet with individuals in their homes or agreed upon locations in the community to facilitate services
• Oversee and ensure the seamless coordination of services, including physical, mental, dental care and social services

ECM Care Coordinators are responsible for tasks such as visiting client homes, attending in-person meetings, and engaging with community partners, often in locations not easily accessible by alternative transportation methods.
