About the role
Location: Ruth M Rothstein CORE Center, Department: CORE CENTER. Shift: 8:30am - 4:30pm. Pay range: $45,796 - $51,813 yearly. This is a grant-funded position under the 2026 CCH Ryan White Part C Outpatient grant (expires Feb 28, 2027, renewable). The CCHIP Integrated Care Specialist will conduct HIV testing, outreach, recruitment, linkage to care, and enhanced care coordination for persons living with/affected by HIV/AIDS, working with newly diagnosed and vulnerable individuals to ensure continuation and expansion of PrEP navigation and adherence counseling at Cook County Health Ambulatory & Community Health Network Clinics. The Specialist promotes program enrollment and use of antiretrovirals for HIV treatment and prevention, conducts retention/case finding activities, works with peer educators and staff for community outreach, HIV testing, and health education at ACHN locations and throughout the eligible metropolitan area.
But we already have separate sections for Pay and Schedule; maybe we should not duplicate. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real specific content. We have Pay and Schedule sections; we could still mention them in About the role but better to keep them separate. However we must not duplicate content? It's okay to mention but we should avoid redundancy? Not explicitly prohibited, but we should preserve all substantive info; duplication is okay but maybe better to keep concise. However we can keep About the role as summary without pay/schedule, and then have Pay and Schedule sections.
