What is a community health worker?

Community Health Workers (CHWs) are frontline public health professionals who serve as a bridge between communities and healthcare systems. They help individuals access health services, provide health education, and advocate for their community’s needs. CHWs often have deep knowledge of the communities they serve and work to improve health outcomes by addressing social, behavioral, and medical needs. Their roles can include outreach, informal counseling, social support, and connecting people to resources.

Is a community health worker a good career?

A community health worker (CHW) is a valuable role that involves providing health education, support, and resources to underserved populations. It often requires strong communication skills, cultural competence, and basic healthcare knowledge, with opportunities for certification and career advancement in public health settings.

How does a community health worker collaborate with healthcare professionals and community organizations?

Community Health Workers (CHWs) play a crucial bridging role between community members and healthcare systems. They often work closely with nurses, doctors, social workers, and public health officials to coordinate care, relay important health information, and advocate for patients’ needs. CHWs also partner with local organizations, such as schools and non-profits, to organize outreach events, health education sessions, and resource referrals. Effective collaboration requires strong communication skills, cultural competence, and an understanding of available community resources.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a community health worker?

To thrive as a Community Health Worker, you need a solid understanding of community health principles, cultural competency, and often a high school diploma or equivalent, with some roles requiring additional training or certifications. Experience with data collection tools, health outreach platforms, and familiarity with electronic health records can be valuable. Strong interpersonal skills, active listening, and the ability to build trust within diverse communities are crucial soft skills. These competencies enable CHWs to effectively bridge gaps between healthcare providers and communities, improving health outcomes and access to care.

Role Overview: We are seeking two part-time extremely responsible Community Health Workers (CHWs) who are passionate about coaching families with preschool aged children, supporting their adoption of healthy family routines and behaviors. These CHW roles involve delivering home visiting services to families over a six-month period, following a curriculum modified from the NET-Works study (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37171137/).

  • Utilize Motivational Interviewing, positive parenting skills and other coaching methods to help families adopt individualized and culturally relevant routines.
  • Engage families in interactive activities supporting child development and active play.
  • Facilitate 2-3 check-ins with families weekly between home visits via telephone, Zoom, email, or text messages.
  • Document home visits in CHW Solutions’ Electronic Health Record.
  • Gather research related information and input it into a University of Minnesota REDCap electronic database.
  • Deliver health promotion topics and connect families to community resources in culturally and linguistically relevant ways.
  • Complete all required research training, including CITI IRB, REDCap electronic database and NET-Works intervention curriculum.
  • Attend biweekly team meetings (approximately 1 hour) with University of Minnesota research staff to debrief on home visits and the overall implementation process, and to update study protocol as needed.


Additional Responsibilities:

  • Coordinate with University of Minnesota research staff and CHW Solutions’ leadership to assure home visits follow a standardized model based on the NET-Works study.
  • Assist company Co-Founders and CHW Services Director to refine existing health education practices to develop effective models of patient care.
  • Complete the MDH CHWs 101: Introduction to Research training to engage in other research activities.


Required Qualifications:     

  • Excellent communication skills with patients, co-workers, and partners.
  • Experience delivering health education services.
  • Driver’s License and reliable vehicle.
  • Willingness to drive to home visits within 45 minutes (one way) of the Twin Cities Metro Area.
  • Fluency in Spanish and/or Somali and English.
  • Availability to work one or two evenings (until 7:00 PM) per week as needed.


Preferred Qualifications:

  • CHW certificate from one of the Minnesota Community Health Worker training programs. (CHW Solutions will consider supporting applicants to obtain their CHW certificate while employed at CHW Solutions.)
  • At least one year of direct patient contact as a CHW or similar role.
  • Experience providing home visiting.
  • Experience documenting in electronic health records and following HIPAA and other security procedures.


Why Join Us?

  • Competitive salary ($21-$26.25 hourly), PTO, flexible work hours, and training and career advancement opportunities.
  • Regular access to our Medical Director and Public Health Nurse health coach.
  • Self-care tools and mentorship experiences.
