This position will work in Las Vegas

The Health Promoter is deeply involved at the member level, where our organization prides itself on being personally connected to the worksites and members we serve. Our Health Promoter team will do outreach, working closely with the union employees to educate them about available benefits, and helping them recognize opportunities within those benefits to serve themselves and their dependents’ medical needs. The Health Promoter team will primarily do this by recruiting volunteer leaders called Health Ambassadors, who are employees of the local union shops and are leaders among their peers. 

The HP team, in conjunction with the Ambassadors, encourages and empowers the members to become active in their healthcare and become their own health advocates. Health Promoters are field (office, worksites) heavy, with approx. 4 days per week field as well as local (mostly) travel for events.  

Come and be a part of an organization whose mission is to offer and develop impactful programs and benefits for its members, who are largely comprised of our country’s underserved and immigrant population. Come and make a difference in the lives of these Las Vegas communities!
