  • Manage staffing schedules to ensure patient coverage and continuity of care within the local CHW team.
  • Review data dashboards to manage CHW performance relative to goals and identify strengths and opportunities.

  • Navigate technology systems to supervise CHW documentation and ensure quality care
  • Represent Waymark in the community and build and nurture community partnerships.
  • Maintain knowledge of programs and resources available to community members that promote their health and wellbeing, and support CHWs in understanding and navigating those resources on behalf of those we serve.
  • Contribute as a member of the local leadership team by representing Waymark's values and contributing to a positive and collaborative culture across the local team.
  • Maintain small outreach and patient caseload responsibilities as a working CHW on an as needed basis to support team coverage, including potentially speaking with patients over the phone or meeting patients in the community, home, or in healthcare facilities.
  • This is a hybrid role involving work from a home office as well as travel required within the market (up to 80%)

  • Reside within a commutable distance of Greater Akron / Greater Canton.

  • A leader with cultural and personal humility. Has a strong understanding of Medicaid and the barriers to healthcare access and quality among diverse, underserved populations, and is comfortable describing our work externally and building community relationships.
  • Sound judgment and the ability to quickly analyze situations and manage team members with empathy and care
  • Experience and comfort using technology for virtual communication, scheduling, and documentation.
  • Strong understanding of, and ability to teach and implement, principles of trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing, and harm reduction, including among populations facing serious mental illness and substance use challenges.
  • Ability to travel to local neighborhoods across greater Greater Akron / Greater Canton to help build and nurture community partnerships, establish new CHW teams, and support existing teams.
  • A person who thrives on building and supervising a team of care providers, building professionalism and positive culture among those working to support the hardest-to-reach patients.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Knowledge of common CHW recruitment, hiring, training and supervision strategies, and ability to compare and contrast such strategies in real-world situations.
