To thrive as a Community Wellness Navigator, you need a solid understanding of health education, community resources, and case management, often supported by a related degree or certification in public health or social work.

Community Wellness Navigators often encounter challenges such as language barriers, limited client trust, or navigating complex social service systems. To address these, navigators build strong rapport through active listening and cultural competence, utilize translation services, and stay updated on local resources and eligibility requirements. Regular team meetings and collaboration with social workers, healthcare providers, and community organizations also help navigators find creative solutions and ensure clients receive the support they need.

What are Community Wellness Navigators?

Their goal is to improve health outcomes by connecting people to resources like healthcare, housing, nutrition, and mental health support. Community Wellness Navigators often work in clinics, non-profits, or public health organizations and are trained to understand the unique needs of diverse populations.

Help older New Yorkers return home safely after a hospital stay—and make a meaningful impact every single day.


Carter Burden Network, in partnership with Lenox Hill Hospital–Northwell Health, is launching a new pilot program supporting adults 60+ as they transition from hospital or emergency department discharge back to their homes.

  • Identifying risks, medication access issues, equipment needs, and home safety concerns
  • Providing referrals to strengthen the home environment

Patient Education & Self-Management

  • Explaining discharge instructions in clear, culturally responsive ways
  • Supporting symptom monitoring and disease self-management
  • Ensuring clients understand their medications


Care Coordination & Benefits Navigation

  • Participating in trainings, meetings, and case conferences
  • Reporting urgent concerns promptly

This part-time position is scheduled for 21 hours per week, Monday through Friday, generally within the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The role involves a blend of on-site responsibilities at the Leonard Covello Older Adult Center and Lenox Hill Hospital, along with community-based and in-home visits as needed to support clients throughout the transition process. During scheduled work hours, employees are expected to remain accessible by phone and email to ensure timely communication and coordination of care.

Compensation & Benefits

The position offers an hourly rate of $27, fully aligned with the NYC Pay Transparency Act. Employees in this position are eligible for CBN’s comprehensive benefits package, which includes multiple health and dental plan options—some of which are 100% employer‑paid—along with up to 15 vacation days, 4 personal days, 10 sick days, and paid holidays. The organization also provides a 403(b) retirement plan featuring a 3% employer contribution, with eligibility for an additional matched contribution after one year of service. Professional development is strongly supported through ongoing training, mentorship, and opportunities for growth within the organization.
