Care Coordinator - Nebraska

About the role

The Care Coordinator supports customers by using the Unite Us Platform and providing the support and guidance needed to deliver high-quality Care Coordination. Care Coordinators are platform experts who interact directly with clients seeking services and with the partners that provide resources and support to Care Coordination customers’ clients.

Care Coordinators conduct client needs assessments and assist clients in identifying social determinants of health resources to meet their needs. Care Coordinators also follow up with clients and resources to ensure identified needs are addressed and resolved. Care Coordinators also support Network Health Monitoring by combining platform expertise, referral support, and data-informed insight to help strengthen coordinated care networks and improve community outcomes.

• Referral & Care Coordination

• Own Network Health Monitoring responsibilities: identify referral trends, partner responsiveness concerns, service gaps, and workflow barriers that could impact care coordination outcomes.
• Proactively engage CBOs to clean up and maintain accurate referral data and organization records on the platform, ensuring the network remains reliable and up to date.
• Share network observations, referral barriers, and partner engagement insights with leadership and cross-functional teams to support network health, customer goals, and continuous improvement.
• Platform & Subject-Matter Expertise
• Continuously expand knowledge of national and local community resources, services, and programs to deepen understanding of community needs and build relationships with other users of the Unite Us platform.
• Maintain strong working fluency in the Unite Us platform and its tools, including TalkDesk (Unite Us' telephony partner) for making and receiving client calls.
• Team Collaboration & Performance
• Work and produce exceptional results independently, with little oversight or direction.
• Identify and promote opportunities for improved efficiency or other enhancements that benefit the Care Coordination team at large.
• Regularly contribute to additional workgroups, special projects, training/enablement, and cross-department meetings when called upon by leadership due to consistent high performance and reliability.
• Exceed department KPIs related to quality assurance, meeting customer goals/expectations, delivering high-caliber customer service, and efficiently managing referrals and call volume.
• Support fellow Care Coordinators to ensure contractual obligations (call volume, response time, etc.) are met or exceeded.
