Care Experience Specialist 0788

Overview

The Care Experience Specialist is often the first trusted presence our Family Members meet. This role is about presence, empathy, and listening deeply. You’ll show up where people live and gather, build trust, and help remove barriers to care. As part of the team, you’ll help bridge the human and medical sides of care. You will listen, connect, and elevate stories that matter, helping Family Members feel supported on their journey. This role combines the community-rooted presence of outreach specialists with the wraparound support of care guides.
