Population Health Nurse Coach
Drive Behavior Change. Improve Outcomes. Transform Lives.
At Health Advocate, we believe lasting health improvements happen when people are empowered-not simply educated.
We're seeking a Certified Health Coach and Registered Nurse who is passionate about behavior change, member engagement, and helping individuals overcome the barriers that prevent them from achieving better health.
This is not a traditional case management role.
Our most successful Nurse Coaches build trust quickly, use motivational interviewing with confidence, address behavioral and emotional barriers to change, and help members take ownership of their health journeys.
You'll work closely with members managing chronic medical conditions and behavioral health challenges, guiding them toward sustainable lifestyle changes that improve outcomes and quality of life.
What You'll Do: Your Roadmap to Impact
In this role, you'll serve as a trusted health partner and coach, helping members create meaningful and sustainable change.
Deliver High-Impact Health Coaching

• Conduct telephonic and virtual coaching sessions using motivational interviewing and evidence-based coaching techniques.
• Help members identify barriers, increase readiness for change, and establish achievable health goals.
• Guide members toward sustainable improvements in physical health, emotional well-being, and lifestyle behaviors.

Support Members with Complex Needs

• Coach individuals managing chronic medical conditions and co-occurring behavioral health challenges.
• Recognize how stress, anxiety, depression, motivation, resilience, and social circumstances affect health outcomes.
• Partner with members to develop realistic strategies that support long-term success.

Build Engagement and Accountability

• Establish trust-based coaching relationships that encourage participation and follow-through.
• Re-engage members who have become disengaged or resistant to care plans.
• Maintain regular follow-up and accountability conversations that reinforce progress and celebrate success.

Coordinate Care and Advocate for Members

• Collaborate with providers, behavioral health professionals, and internal clinical teams.
• Connect members with resources, programs, and services that support whole-person care.
• Help members navigate healthcare systems and remove barriers to care.

Measure Progress and Outcomes

• Document coaching interactions and care plans accurately.
• Track member engagement, behavior change goals, and health outcomes.
• Use data and coaching insights to continuously improve member success.

Who Thrives in This Role?
Our most successful Nurse Coaches are clinicians who genuinely enjoy helping people change behaviors-not simply providing education.
They are:

• Skilled at motivational interviewing and behavior-change conversations
• Comfortable supporting members who may be anxious, resistant, overwhelmed, or struggling with mental health challenges
• Naturally curious and empathetic, with the ability to uncover root causes rather than treat symptoms
• Strong relationship builders who can earn trust quickly in a virtual setting
• Self-motivated professionals who thrive independently in a remote environment
• Results-oriented coaches who measure success by member engagement, activation, and outcomes
• Passionate about empowering people rather than directing them

Who May Not Be a Good Fit
This role may not be the best fit for individuals who:

• Prefer short-term interactions instead of developing longitudinal coaching relationships
• Become frustrated working with individuals who are hesitant, resistant, or slow to change
• Prefer directing patients what to do rather than partnering with them to discover solutions
• Are uncomfortable discussing behavioral health challenges, emotional barriers, stress, motivation, or readiness for change
• Prefer highly structured workflows with limited outreach, follow-up, and relationship building
