Director of Community Health Worker Services (Pittsburgh, PA)

Job Announcement: Director of CHW Services

Amid clinical workforce shortages, rising healthcare costs and ongoing concerns about inequity, IMPaCT unlocks the power of the grassroots community health workforce.

Are you a natural caregiver?

Here at IMPaCT Care, we get out of bed every day to remake the American health workforce. We find, train and enable Community Health Workers: caring people who keep their communities healthy. We have built the largest and most scientifically-proven Community Health Worker platform in the country, used across 22 states by over 70 organizations like Kaiser Permanente, the Veterans Affairs Administration and United Way. Across multiple randomized controlled trials IMPaCT has achieved outcomes frequently believed to be out of reach, including $2,500 annual savings per patient, improved mental health and a Net Promoter Score of 94. We’re making waves: on CNN, in WaPo, at the Fed…there is even a new Medicare billing code for Community Health Workers that is modeled after IMPaCT.

We’re changing the game, but also know the importance of enjoying the journey. That’s why we have made sure that IMPaCT Care is the place to be! We provide competitive compensation and equity grants, comprehensive benefits and plenty of opportunities for team-building and fun.

About the Role:
We're seeking an energetic, organized leader with experience in community engagement and social work or case management to manage a team of one Manager and 10 Community Health Workers (CHWs) serving hundreds of clients annually. This position is offered through a partnership between Highmark Health in Pittsburgh, PA and IMPaCT Care.
