• Conduct intake and needs assessments for clients seeking assistance.

Referral & Care Coordination

• Connect clients with the most appropriate services based on individual needs, eligibility, and geographic preference, informed by first-hand knowledge of the provider network, not just a generic resource list.
• Monitor customer and partner referrals to support timely action, appropriate outcomes, and successful client connection to services.
• Conduct follow-up with clients and service providers to confirm receipt of services/benefits, and, where applicable by contract, work with clients toward their health goals to ensure recommended actions are completed.
• Correspond directly with service providers to facilitate a seamless experience for clients navigating services.

Network Relationship Management & Network Health Monitoring

• Provide supportive, constructive feedback to CBOs serving Care Coordination clients to ensure network standards are met.
• Own Network Health Monitoring responsibilities: identify referral trends, partner responsiveness concerns, service gaps, and workflow barriers that could impact care coordination outcomes.
• Proactively engage CBOs to clean up and maintain accurate referral data and organization records on the platform, ensuring the network remains reliable and up to date.
• Share network observations, referral barriers, and partner engagement insights with leadership and cross-functional teams to support network health, customer goals, and continuous improvement.

Platform & Subject-Matter Expertise

• Continuously expand knowledge of national and local community resources, services, and programs to deepen understanding of community needs and build relationships with other users of the Unite Us platform.
• Maintain strong working fluency in the Unite Us platform and its tools, including TalkDesk (Unite Us' telephony partner) for making and receiving client calls.

Team Collaboration & Performance

• Work and produce exceptional results independently, with little oversight or direction.
• Consistently go above and beyond in supporting customers and contracts.
• Identify and promote opportunities for improved efficiency or other enhancements that benefit the Care Coordination team at large.
• Regularly contribute to additional workgroups, special projects, training/enablement, and cross-department meetings when called upon by leadership due to consistent high performance and reliability.
• Exceed department KPIs related to quality assurance, meeting customer goals/expectations, delivering high-caliber customer service, and efficiently managing referrals and call volume.
• Regularly support fellow Care Coordinators to ensure contractual obligations (call volume, response time, etc.) are met or exceeded. Care Coordinators support contracts as a team, and collaborating to meet shared deadlines and expectations is a regular expectation, not an exception.
