Field Team Lead/Community Health Worker

Los Angeles, United States Wellness and Equity Alliance LLC Full time
Job DescriptionJob DescriptionDescription:

Purpose of the position

Elevate your career to new heights with an opportunity that transcends traditional healthcare boundaries. Wellness Equity Alliance is actively seeking compassionate and driven professionals for several pivotal roles in our groundbreaking Street Medicine program in Riverside County. Street Medicine is an innovative and empathetic approach to healthcare, designed to meet individuals right where they are: on the streets, in shelters, or within underserved communities. This model reaches outside the walls of traditional medical facilities to deliver direct, comprehensive care to those who are homeless or experiencing housing instability. Our mobile healthcare teams bring primary care, psychiatric support, substance abuse counseling, and much more directly to the most marginalized populations.


We are looking for someone with strong managerial skills who can help lead the field operations of our street medicine/care management team. In addition, we are seeking a Field Team Lead/Community Health Worker (CHW), that embraces our mission, which is deeply rooted in delivering equitable healthcare to underserved communities, right where they live. By joining our dedicated team, you'll not only provide critical medical services but also become a beacon of hope and change, ensuring every individual receives the compassionate care they deserve, regardless of their circumstances. Working for WEA is more than a job; it's a calling to serve those who are most in need, directly in their environment.


This Field Team Lead/CHW will serve not only as an advocate for the health needs of individuals by assisting community residents in effectively communicating with healthcare providers or social service agencies, but also as a key member of the site leadership team, assisting with logistics and program evaluation. Acting as liaison and advocate to implement programs that promote, maintain, and improve individual and overall community health. May deliver health-related preventive services such as blood pressure, glaucoma, and hearing screenings. May use the community health needs assessment to help identify areas to expand clinical services and support.This individual will also have a keen eye on data for program evaluation and understanding of team deployment and supply management.


Staff identified to be a part of this operation will be a part of an important and sustainable street medicine program aimed at serving the unhoused populations in Riverside. The most vulnerable people experiencing homelessness have likely been failed by institutions many times in their lives, and their mistrust of authorities, institutions, and individual care providers may represent an attempt at self-protection that, over time, becomes a barrier to accessing care and resources that could improve their lives.

The street medicine team will work to build trusting relationships with people who are in need of medical services, work to decrease the logistical barriers that block access to health care and provide care directly to the places where unhoused individuals live.


CHWs are frontline public health workers who are trusted members of the community served. This trusting relationship enables CHWs to serve as a liaison between health & social services to facilitate access to services and improve the quality and cultural competence of service delivery. CHWs also build individual and community capacity by increasing health knowledge and self-sufficiency through various activities such as outreach, community education, informal counseling, social support, and advocacy.


CHWs with either lived or professional experience that aligns with and provides a connection between the CHW and the Member or population being served. This may include, but is not limited to experience related to incarceration, military service, pregnancy and birth, disability, foster system placement, homelessness, mental health conditions or substance use, or being a survivor of domestic or intimate partner violence or abuse and exploitation. Lived experience may also include shared race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, language, or cultural background with one or more linguistic, cultural, or other groups in the community for which the CHW is providing services. Supervising Providers (the organizations employing or otherwise overseeing the CHWs with which the MCP contracts, as described below) are encouraged to work with CHWs who are familiar with and/or have experience in the geographic communities they are serving. Supervising Providers must maintain evidence of this experience.
