Private Oncology Care Navigator
About the role
We are seeking an experienced Private Oncology Care Navigator to provide highly personalized support to an individual navigating a breast cancer diagnosis, treatment planning, and related health considerations. The ideal candidate will have substantial hands-on oncology experience—preferably supporting individuals with breast cancer—and combine strong clinical literacy with exceptional care navigation, organization, patient advocacy, communication, and interpersonal skills. The Care Navigator will serve as a knowledgeable and highly organized partner who helps the client navigate the healthcare system, prepare for medical appointments, organize and understand information from physicians, coordinate across multiple specialists, track recommendations and follow-up items, and implement physician-approved health and wellness priorities. This is not a physician role. The Care Navigator will complement, not replace, the client’s medical team and will maintain clear professional boundaries around diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and other medical decisions.
