Mobile Health/Hep C Tester (Harrisburg)

Are you passionate about patient care and looking for an opportunity for growth and development? We invite you to explore a rewarding opportunity with our organization.

Central Outreach is seeking a full-time Mobile Health/Hep C Tester to join our team—recognized as the #1 curer of Hepatitis C in the United States. This role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact by supporting patients through their treatment journey while expanding access to care in the community.

The Mobile Health/Hep C Tester plays a critical role in delivering community-based healthcare services through the Hepatitis C (Hep C) Program. This position is responsible for conducting mobile testing for Hepatitis C, HIV, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), facilitating linkage to care, and supporting patients through treatment and follow-up processes.

Mobile Testers work in diverse community settings including correctional facilities, rehabilitation centers, addiction treatment programs, incarceration/workforce environments, and with unhoused populations. This role is both clinical and relationship-driven, requiring a self-directed, proactive individual who is comfortable engaging with patients and staff while building sustainable partnerships that expand access to care.

This position offers a base salary along with performance-based incentives tied to key outcomes, including the development of new and recurring testing partnerships and the number of Hepatitis C consults successfully facilitated. The role includes monthly goals to guide outreach efforts and support continued program growth.

Phlebotomy is a critical component of this role. While prior experience is not required, candidates must be comfortable being trained and performing blood draws independently in the field.
