Medical Intake Jobs in Florida (NOW HIRING)

Banyan Treatment Centers is seeking an organized, compassionate, and customer-service–driven Intake Coordinator to join our team in Seminole, FL. Located in Pinellas County along Florida's Gulf Coast, between St. Petersburg and Clearwater, this role is the first face new patients and their families see when they arrive for treatment and that first impression matters enormously. You'll own the onsite intake process from arrival through admission, ensuring every person who walks through our doors feels welcomed, informed, and supported from the very first moment.

This is a meaningful role for someone who understands that access to care starts with a human connection and who takes pride in getting the details right when it matters most.

Banyan Treatment Centers is a leading national provider of intensive treatment for individuals facing substance use and mental health disorders. Backed by TPG’s Rise Fund, Banyan is rapidly expanding access to high-quality, compassionate care.

• You own the front door — as the onsite point of contact for new admissions, you play a direct and visible role in how patients and families experience their first hours in treatment. That work is both consequential and deeply meaningful.
• Mission-driven work at a Joint Commission–accredited organization with the stability, resources, and reach of a national provider — right in your own community.
• A team building to last — the Seminole facility is led by tenured leadership that knows this work and invests in the people doing it. As a newer location, opportunities expand right along with census- there's real room to grow here for the right person.
• Cross-functional collaboration — you'll work closely with Admissions, Clinical, Behavioral Health Support, and Facility teams in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
• Detail-driven impact — your accuracy in documentation, benefits verification, and compliance directly supports patient access to care and the facility's accreditation readiness.
• Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, and vision insurance; life insurance and disability coverage; 401(k) with employer match; paid time off and holidays; wellness incentives; and employee assistance programs.
