We are seeking an Intake Coordinator to screen patients and conduct intakes at our innovative treatment center! If you're the type of person that your friends confide in, you will probably find this job extremely rewarding. By connecting with callers on a human level when they may be at their lowest point, you're making a meaningful difference. This is a critical role, as the intake coordinator is often the very first point of contact with a new patient. You'll set the tone for the experience that follows. You'll be educating callers on the types of services available to them, providing comfort and reassurance, and ensuring their privacy.

This is a great fit for anyone looking to gain more knowledge of the fields of addiction and recovery, healthcare, medical offices or mental health. If you have hospitality, restaurant or customer service experience and love helping people, this would be an excellent position for you!

The job requires keen attention to detail and the ability to multitask combined with patience, empathy, and respect for the callers. This is a position that will involve a significant amount of time one-on-one with patients, and it requires the ability to communicate effectively over the phone with patients and the ability to communicate effectively with other team members regarding patient care. This is a fast-paced role and you will spend a great deal of time on the phone and computer. The ideal candidate will know how to effectively multi-task while staying engaged with patients.

We do candidate assessment batteries. You are required to complete the competencies. If you do not complete the assessments, the hiring manager will not schedule an interview with you after the initial phone interview.

A comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, other voluntary benefits, Long Term Disability, life insurance and an EAP is available to all full-time employees.
