About the Role:

Reporting to the Local Ops Leader, the Health Advocate is the eyes, ears, hands, and heart of the care team. We’re looking for teammates who love helping others, have a knack for tenacious problem solving and strong ties to the community. You’ll work closely with our clinicians, social workers, and community resources to change the lives of our patients as they take control of their health with your help, support and guidance. Health Advocates at Galileo are people who love impacting patient lives by being the go-to for meeting health goals and overcoming social barriers.

Here’s what you’ll do:

• Receive training and skills-building (including motivational interviewing, therapeutic engagement, health coaching & more) with the opportunity to grow your career while helping others
• Work collaboratively with other care team experts like physicians, behavioral health providers and social workers to find creative solutions to help patients meet health goals and overcome social barriers
• Become the ultimate go-to for our patients, building and strengthening relationships with patients, families, and the broader community
• Support patients across several modalities including video, phone, and in-person interactions. Galileo has robust Covid precautions in place including screening, PPE, and regular testing but this role does involve time in-person directly in the community and homes.
• Work closely with physicians and nurse practitioners in the field- providing support in a clinical setting.

About You:

You are a tenacious problem solver and a compassionate provider of support. Your service mindset and deep desire to create meaningful, positive impact, drive you to build trusting relationships. Leveraging both your intrapersonal relationship skills as well as technical clinical skills, you are most fulfilled when you are improving the lives of your patients and bettering your community.
