About this Company:
We created the company with the simple idea that cities should be healthy places to live -- for everyone. Three trends motivated us: First, underserved populations living in our biggest cities have continued to have disproportionately poor health outcomes, with interventions coming much later and at a significantly higher cost than for other populations. Second, nearly all innovation efforts have been focused on people with means, despite urgent need in underserved lower-income communities. And finally, the business of healthcare has become increasingly transactional, leaving little room for meaningful relationships between patients and clinicians, driving increased dissatisfaction among both. We set out to challenge this status quo.

We share the conviction that inequity in health is both unacceptable and solvable. Together, we are re-imagining the future of community health in cities, with a goal of driving health system change at scale.

We're preparing to launch our first Neighborhood Health Hub in early 2018. We are hiring across all parts of the organization and developing the partnerships that will be critical to our early success.

Overview:
Behavioral Health Specialist
Waterbury, CT
Full-time

In this role, you will provide direct service to our members as part of our innovative care model, designed to address the complex health and social challenges of high-risk, high-need populations living in urban neighborhoods. You will be a mobile care provider, extending out in the surrounding neighborhood and community. It is integral to our care model that we meet people where they are, both physically and emotionally. Given this, your work will take you out into the community to provide care in settings that work best for our members.

As a Behavioral Health Specialist, you will work with a panel of members to improve their health holistically. You will provide a necessary bridge to ongoing behavioral health services in the community, will support existing services (i.e. outpatient mental health or substance use treatment), and will be an accessible resource to both members and their care teams from a behavioral health perspective.
