About
Our Patient Advocates are the heart of this work.
About the Role This is a rare opportunity to be the first clinical hire at a growing care navigation program. You won't just build the program — you'll live it. In this dual role, you'll carry an active caseload of patients while working alongside leadership to design the infrastructure, workflows, and standards that will define how we deliver care at scale. As the program grows, so will you — with the potential to grow into a leadership role overseeing a multidisciplinary team of advocates, CHWs, and clinical staff.
If you're energized by doing the work and building the system around it, this role was written for you.

Conduct SDOH screenings and connect patients to community resources, benefits, and support services
Serve as a consistent advocate for patients navigating complex health and social systems
Build trusted relationships with patients, families, and care teams

Appropriately document all patient interactions in all relevant systems (not solely in a Electronic Health Record
Log start time, stop time, and duration for each interaction to support accurate monthly minute aggregation
Program Building

Help define program parameters, intake processes, and outcome metrics
Contribute to technology selection, implementation, and optimization
Develop training materials and onboarding frameworks in preparation for team growth

For the right candidate, there is potential to transition into a lead/supervisory role overseeing advocates, CHWs, LVNs, and other staff
Contribute to hiring, mentoring, and performance of future team members
Serve as a culture carrier and clinical role model as the team scales
Who You Are
Licensed for multi‑state practice —
Must hold an active Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) multistate license and be prepared to obtain licensure in non‑NLC states as the program expands

Care navigation experience
— 2–5 years minimum in care navigation, case management, care coordination, or a closely related patient‑facing role

Builder mentality

Tech‑forward
— comfortable with care management platforms, EHRs, and digital tools; quick to learn new systems
Resilient problem‑solver

Low ego, high output
— equally comfortable doing the unsexy work and presenting to stakeholders

Tips for a Successful Interview with Carewell We value your time and want to get the most out of our conversation. To help us understand your experience, please keep the following tips in mind:
1. Use the STAR Method
When we ask about your past experiences, we are looking for specific stories rather than general philosophies. We highly recommend framing your answers using the STAR method:
Situation : Set the scene (briefly).
Task : Describe what you were responsible for.
Action : Explain the specific steps you took.
Result : Share the outcome (with data or metrics if possible).
2. Be Specific, Not Theoretical
We want to hear about what you have actually done, not what you would do in an ideal world. Avoid phrases like "I usually..." or "In my opinion..." and instead start with "There was one time when I...".
3. Focus on Your Individual Contribution
While teamwork is important, we are hiring you. When describing projects, be sure to highlight your specific role and the impact you personally made, rather than just using "we."
4. Keep it Concise
We have a lot to cover! Aim for answers that are 2–3 minutes long. If we need more detail, we’ll be sure to ask follow‑up questions.
5. KPIs / Metrics
Carewell is results driven. Come prepared to talk about the key metrics you were responsible for driving in similar roles. We’ll want to know how you directly measured, reported on, and improved those metrics.
