Patient Scheduling & Registration Specialist

About the company

Recover is a startup working to make addiction treatment and mental healthcare more effective, accessible, and affordable. We work with governments to use technology and medicine to improve outcomes for people who need care.

Our program is a tech-enabled treatment program for people with substance use and mental health challenges. We use a harm reduction approach to treatment, and are focused on serving marginalized and underserved communities. We are a small team growing quickly, and looking for people to grow with us.

Our team includes people from Yale Law, UCLA School of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, and White House alums.

The opportunity

As an Engagement Coordinator for Recover, you'll be the first point of contact for people looking to access treatment. You'll handle inbound calls from prospective clients and make outbound calls to individuals referred to our program, helping them understand what Recover offers and getting them started with care.

Your core focus will be sharing information about Recover's services, confirming insurance status, walking clients through enrollment, and scheduling appointments. You’ll be the welcoming, organized person who helps clients navigate the path from referral to their first appointment.

Some clients will engage right away, while others may require follow-up and continued outreach. This also includes re-engaging clients who were previously in treatment, helping them reconnect to services and continue their recovery journey.

This role is fully remote and best suited for someone who is organized, self-motivated, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, client-centered environment. You'll report to the Head of Partnerships.
