3 months ago

Boston, United States Disability Policy Consortium Full time $40,000 - $42,000
My Ombudsman exists to help people with and without disabilities get the care they need from their MassHealth health plans. The Bilingual Community Liaison’s role is to respond to inquiries and complaints from MassHealth members with guidance, information, and referrals in their primary language or English. The Bilingual Community Liaison will work under the direct supervision of My Ombudsman’s Service Team Director. The Bilingual Community Liaison (CL) receives and responds to inquiries from the general community and conducts intakes for members of MassHealth health plans when they have a complaint or need help accessing their plan’s benefits and services. The Bilingual CL documents all correspondence and communications with members in our electronic database. They may also help the Director of My Ombudsman flag and track potential trends to report to our stakeholders. Our Community Liaison team has a “no wrong door” approach, meaning that even if the issue is outside the scope of My Ombudsman, they will provide referrals to other organizations that can help. When engaging with anyone who reaches out to My Ombudsman for support, the Bilingual CL will communicate respectfully, compassionately, and with accessibility in mind. Overall, My Ombudsman strives to provide culturally competent support to people of all races, genders, sexualities, nationalities, and disabilities.  My Ombudsman is a program of the Disability Policy Consortium, an independent organization run by and for people with disabilities that provides civil rights advocacy, community-based research, and healthcare ombudsman services across Massachusetts. More than 80% of our staff have disabilities, and our credo is “About Us, By Us”—the belief that when decisions are being made about people with disabilities, they should play a leading role in making them. We are committed to social justice and strive to be a place where all our employees can bring their full selves to work. Candidates of color, LGBTQ+ candidates, multilingual candidates, and candidates with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply.  This is a full-time position with a salary between $40,000 to 42,000 per year. Areas of Responsibility:Inquiry/Complaint Documentation and Data Collection:
