Our Community Supports (CS) Program is designed to help Medi‑Cal members live more independently in the community by addressing their health‑related social needs.

• Advocate for timely treatments, fair insurance authorizations, and equitable access to care
• Act as the central communication hub among members, their families, healthcare providers, and community partners
• Maintain accurate, up‑to‑date documentation of assessments, care plans, progress notes, and outcomes
• Ensure all records comply with legal, ethical, and organizational standards for quality and accountability
• Collect and analyze feedback to identify gaps in care coordination and advocate for new resources or partnerships
• Remain current on Medi‑Cal, CalAIM, and community support policies to ensure all activities meet compliance and quality‑of‑care standards
• Participate in workshops, training, and certifications on cultural competence, trauma‑informed care, and motivational interviewing
• Encourage peer learning and continuous growth within the care team
• Provide mentorship, guidance, and day‑to‑day support to other Care Managers within the Community Supports Program
• Assist in onboarding new team members and promoting a collaborative, compassionate care environment
• Support program initiatives and special projects as assigned
• Demonstrate flexibility and teamwork to ensure departmental success.

Work Environment

• Schedule: Standard 8‑hour shift, Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM
• Culture: Inclusive, mission‑driven, and compassionate; focused on equity, dignity, and empowerment

Internal Relationships

• Care Management Team – Mentor and collaborate with case managers to coordinate care and maintain consistency in service delivery
• Program Leadership – Work with management to align care strategies with organizational goals
• Interdisciplinary Teams – Partner with social workers, behavioral health specialists, and outreach teams to support holistic member care

External Relationships

• Members & Families – Build trusting relationships, ensuring members feel supported throughout their care journey
