What are the responsibilities and job description for the Community Health Worker position at Actalent?
Description
We are seeking a compassionate and experienced Community Health Worker to provide support and advocacy for individuals with lived experience in homelessness, substance abuse, behavioral health challenges, and justice involvement.
Since our founding in 1991, we have operated under the mission of providing personalized, high-quality health services to patients across the life cycle, regardless of ability to pay. Our service population has always been primarily composed of patients who face unequal access to care because of their membership in historically underinvested communities. We provide comprehensive medical, dental, vision and behavioral healthcare services across the life span in the Northern California Counties of Butte, Sacramento, Sutter, and Yuba.
The Community Health Worker (CHW) functions as a member of a multidisciplinary team that conducts patient support to help achieve good health practices. Primary responsibilities include facilitation of health improvement, health promotion, health program development and support, disease prevention activities, and coordination with other partners within the community. CHWs assist clients by helping to resolve personal issues and identify resources to meet client needs. The CHW helps clients by providing support and counseling to individuals dealing with issues such as requiring basic behavioral health and medical care, substance abuse treatment, rehabilitation and navigating human relationships. Most CHW duties will be conducted in the community, on the streets, and on site at the clinic. The CHW will also lead and organize community group activities and outreach events. The CHW will perform all tasks to support patient access to care, and services to reduce barriers to care, and increase access to social and health resources such as enrollments for Medi-Cal/Medicare programs, State, County, and Federal programs. Must be able to work non-traditional hours to be able to attend community events. Bilingual preferred, Spanish/Punjabi/Dari.
