HIV Retention of Care Liaison

Temporary and Interim Position: Part-Time HIV /Retention of Care Liaison

Are you looking for an opportunity to cross train and learn more about HOPES?  We have an interim position available for the next 3-6 months that will offer you an opportunity to be involved on the frontline of providing our HIV clients with intensive case management services!  This new role will be partnering with our existing HIV Retention of Care Liaison half time (50%) to job share some of the daily responsibilities and remaining in your existing role 50% of the time.  This position includes gaining knowledge and active participation of our organization’s commitment to being a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) and engaging in activities that enhance these patients care delivery.  This role is vital to HOPES and provides direct assistance to our HIV clients in helping them gain access to services, retention and coordination of care, oversight of the patient’s medical case coordination and linkage to appropriate services.  A primary focus is to identify clients currently out of HIV care, and to reengage these patients back into some level of treatment again.

The Medical Case Management currently includes:

• Assessment of the eligible patient to determine service needs
• Schedule regular check-ins and phone contact as identified to retain
• Assist with appropriate referrals in the development of an individualized integrated patient care plan
• Referral and related activities to help the patient obtain needed services and retain in HIV care
• Monitoring and follow up of administrative grant requirements and tracking retention of HIV patients – reporting of data and month end outcomes.
• Evaluation and input to the enhancement of existing program

*Medical Case Management does not include the direct delivery of medical, clinical or other direct professional services.  Medical Case Management is on behalf of the patient, not to the patient and is management of the plan of care, not the patient.

If you have impressive talent and can help us make the impossible possible? Please discuss your interest FIRST with your Supervisor to see if the timing and opportunity will work in your department.  If selected for this position, it is our intention to backfill your existing role with a 50% Interim Part-Time replacement.

Then AFTER the conversation with your Supervisor send over your savvy and unique letter of interest to HR or email: Tmooney@nnhopes.org.  Please spare us from having to read a lengthy, boring, and antiquated formal cover letter!  But ABSOLUTELY do: describe your leadership accomplishments, feature all your awards and certifications, and share with us your proven ability to exert positive influence.

We’d be delighted to hear fun filled examples and/or stories of how you brought forward exciting changes, embraced innovation, and actually enhanced existing processes; despite the challenges of working with constant interruptions and limited resources!
