Community Health Worker- Full-Time $18-$21 an hour
Position Summary
A Community Health Worker (CHW) is a frontline public health worker who is a trusted member of the community served (or has a very in-depth understanding of the community). This trusting relationship enables the CHW to serve as a link/between health and social services and the community. The CHW serves to facilitate access to services and improve the quality and cultural competence of service delivery.
The CHW will address social determinant of health (SDOH) needs through education, outreach, and partnerships with local organizations. The CHW will help individuals address the needs that lead to poor health outcomes, while assisting in accessing resources including quality health care, health insurance, health information, food, housing, and other social services.
The CHW will have a regular presence with the populations they serve and will provide support in accessing and using appropriate behavioral and physical health care.
While the Familylinks' CHW team covers multiple programs across Allegheny County, this opening will be primarily focused on the greater East End of Pittsburgh, PA working with the aging population and those with a diabetes diagnosis.
