The Community Health Worker (CHW) is a member of the health care team in our school based health center at Charlestown High School. The community health worker utilizes their experience, cultural, and linguistic knowledge to facilitate key components of patient's treatment within the school setting. The community health worker will engage students, create a trusting relationship, supporting students and families in navigating important appointments and resources, attend school and community events to support student engagement in health center services. The community health worker will engage students in setting their own short-term goals and will track the benchmarks along the way toward the achievement of these goals and will closely communicate with the care team through the referral process. The CHW will aid students in the coordination and completion of appointments in our school based health center and other speciality care providers within New Health Charlestown and elsewhere as needed. In addition, the CHW will work with students and families to help decrease barriers to timely follow-up care. While the community health worker position is not a clinical position, it requires a good knowledge (ability to learn) of basic concepts and an understanding of when a referral to a licensed clinician is appropriate. The CHW will also participate in group health education initiatives at the school and will be responsible for coordinating a school health calendar of activities to promote health and prevention.
