At Reema Health, we believe that a personalized, community-based approach to care makes it easier for anyone to access the things they need to make their lives better. We know that life's challenges often exist because the systems built to help are a burden to navigate. We believe building a relationship with a real person - someone who listens, meets members where they are, and understands the community's resources - can ease those burdens and effectively connect members to health care. Reema believes that using technology to support human connection and engagement can be a lifeline for those most struggling to navigate life's challenges. Our mission-driven and member-focused company is seeking an experienced and self-motivated Community Guide / Community Health Worker who has worked with individuals living with serious mental illness and substance use disorder, and understands the unique needs of this community. In this role, the Community Guide will be working with the multidisciplinary care team to plan and coordinate services for members.

This energetic and adaptable Community Guide is an integral part of Reema, a start-up working to transform how behavioral health care and social care work together. The Community Guide works to build genuine, positive relationships with a diverse range of members and seeks to improve the member's health and wellbeing. Their work is completed daily through an integrated technology platform to call and text members, schedule community visits and clinical appointments, as well as document all interactions and communicate with the clinical team. The Community Guide will be responsible for the full lifecycle of their caseload, including initial outreach to engage members in services, ongoing work with members to achieve their wellbeing goals through connection to health care and community resources, and completion of the care plan. The Community Guide will work as part of an integrated model of healthcare where they partner directly with clinical therapists and prescribers to provide holistic support for members. A primary strength of the Community Guide should be excellent verbal and written communication, building strong meaningful relationships, problem solving, and a comfortability in navigating the ambiguous nature of a constantly growing and evolving startup.
