Community Health Worker (32 hours)

About the role

Orchid Health was founded over 10 years ago with the belief that the most effective way to improve the health of our communities is through integrated patient‑centered care that takes the time to listen to and build trusting relationships with each patient. We currently see thousands of patients at our Oregon clinic locations, all supported by a talented, passionate, and dedicated staff. Our mission is to advance a new model for community health to thrive based on relationships, joy in work, and health equity. We achieve this by leaning into our four pillars and core values:

• Core Values: Challenge the Status Quo, Cultivate Respect, Courageously Vulnerable and Accountable
• Four Pillars (in order of priority): Pillar 1: Employee Well‑Being, Pillar 2: Trusting Patient Relationships, Pillar 3: Community Health, Pillar 4: Financial Sustainability

At Orchid Health we move away from traditional top‑down management to a self‑managed model. Teams make most day‑to‑day decisions together, share responsibilities based on strengths, hold each other accountable, and are supported by peers, coaches, and clear, timely information. This reduces bureaucracy, supports collaboration, and makes work more meaningful. Team members have abundant opportunities to expand professional skills, participate in community outreach, and enjoy a robust benefits package.

The position is located at Sandy High School in Sandy, Oregon – a 45‑minute drive from Portland and the western gateway to the Mt. Hood Corridor, offering easy access to natural areas, year‑round outdoor recreation, regional arts and culture festivals, and great restaurants. Sandy is considered one of Oregon’s highest‑need areas for healthcare, so this role makes a huge difference in a community that truly values its providers.
