Job DescriptionJob Description

CARE SPECIALIST

Are you a dedicated individual with a passion for providing quality care and making a positive impact in the lives of others? If you possess a unique blend of skills and attributes, including critical thinking, resilience, and the ability to thrive in unstructured environments, we invite you to consider joining our team as a Care Specialist.

As a Care Specialist, you will play a crucial role in our organization, working in a dynamic and ever-changing field. Your responsibilities will extend beyond the ordinary, and we are looking for someone who possesses the tenacity, resilience, and perseverance to excel in challenging situations.

Your role will require you to be a self-starter, someone who not only understands the art of prioritization but is also keen to understand the "why" behind what we do. You'll engage with individuals from diverse backgrounds and often with complex needs, so the ability to work with difficult people and always be willing to help is a must. You don't just say "no"; you ask "how" and seek the "why."

Your awareness of community and diversity will be vital in ensuring that you provide culturally sensitive and inclusive care. Organizational skills, responsiveness, and flexibility are key as you navigate the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare.

Your self-motivation and ability to pivot, serving as a change agent when necessary, will be highly valued. You have an outcome-oriented approach and are willing to learn, adapting to new challenges and opportunities with enthusiasm.

Criticism doesn't deter you; you take it as a chance for self-improvement and growth. Self-awareness is your ally, and you thrive as an independent problem solver. Your passion for people is the driving force behind your commitment to delivering high-quality care.

If you possess these qualities and are ready to embrace a role that demands dedication, adaptability, and a deep desire to make a positive impact, we encourage you to explore the possibilities of becoming a Care Specialist within our organization. Join us in our mission to provide exceptional care and support to those who need it most.

Who is Upward Health

Upward Health is an in-home, multidisciplinary medical group providing 24/7 whole-person care.
