ABOUT THE ROLE

CareLinx by Sharecare is a nationwide registry of healthcare professionals — and we work differently. You set your availability in the CareLinx app, and our team matches you with clients that fit your schedule, preferences, and goals. Whether you want steady recurring shifts or per-diem flexibility, you stay in control of how much you work — while we handle the match.

Once onboarded, you'll work alongside a dedicated Care Advisor and Care Partner teams focused on finding you the right matches — based on location, client needs, and your availability. The best professionals on our platform build consistent schedules, stay engaged through the app, and communicate proactively with their Care Advisors.
