<p><b>Job description</b></p><p><b>Help vulnerable Medicaid members access healthcare and life-changing services.</b></p><p><b>Three Ways to Qualify &mdash; One Role That Matters</b></p><p>Washington State's Health Homes program defines three distinct qualification pathways for Care Coordinators. You do not need a clinical nursing license. What you need is the right combination of education, experience, and commitment. Bridging Care actively recruits across all three pathways.</p><p><b>PATH 1: Degree + Experience Track</b></p><p>■ Bachelor's or Master's degree in Social Work, Psychology, Human Services, Behavioral Sciences, or a related field PLUS 2+ years of direct service experience</p><p>■ Associate's degree in a related field PLUS 4+ years of direct community or social service experience</p><p>■ Community Health Workers (CHWs) with qualifying education and experience are explicitly welcome</p><p>■ No clinical nursing license required &mdash; this is a coordination and relationship role, not a clinical procedures role</p><p>■ Examples of qualifying degrees: BSW, MSW, BA/BS Psychology, BA/BS Human Services, BA/BS Behavioral Sciences, and closely related fields</p><p><b>PATH 2: Experience Waiver Track</b></p><p>■ 2+ years of direct experience in ANY of the following qualifying categories:</p><p>■ <b>Community health outreach or care navigation</b></p><p>■ <b>Housing or social services casework</b></p><p>■ <b>Peer support or recovery coaching</b></p><p>■ <b>Medicaid or Medicare patient engagement</b></p><p>■ <b>Bilingual community health advocacy</b></p><p>■ <b>Home care or direct support work with high-needs populations</b></p><p><b>PATH 3: Certified Medical Assistant (CMA/RMA) Track</b></p><p>■ Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) or Registered Medical Assistant (RMA) with an Associate's degree</p><p>■ This is a career move, not a step sideways &mdash; Care Coordinators earn more, work with greater autonomy, and build deeper relationships than a clinic MA role allows</p><p>■ CMAs with field experience are especially strong candidates: FQHC, home health, mobile clinic, managed care, or community health settings translate directly</p><p>■ Clinical setting MAs are also welcome &mdash; your patient care foundation combined with your documentation skills is exactly what this role requires</p><p>■ Health Home CCs do not administer medications or perform clinical procedures &mdash; they build care plans, coordinate across providers, and show up for members who have nowhere else to turn</p><p>■ If you have been working in a clinic and want a role that pays more, offers more flexibility, and puts you directly in the community &mdash; this is a career move worth exploring</p><p><b>What the Work Actually Looks Like</b></p><p>This is a field-based, relationship-driven coordination role.
