What It IsWe are hiring a health coach who knows caring for people with chronic conditions like diabetes and obesity isn't a job, it's a calling. You feel a deep desire to be a force of positive change for the individuals you care for, but also within the field of cardiometabolic health-at large. You speak compassionately but earnestly, committing yourself fully to helping people understand their conditions, but also have faith in what's possible with the right support and resources.

You act from a place of empathy, always: taking the time to ask tailored questions, and get into the weeds with people to find the right solutions for them. In turn, the people you care for see you as a confidante. They turn to you because they know you'll listen, and because they know that when they ask for help, you'll go the extra mile to help them thrive.

What You'll DoProvide motivational support and educational communications to 9amHealth members that are managing obesity, diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and weight concerns via zoom.

Use motivational interviewing, and coaching techniques to support lasting behavior changes in areas like nutrition, sleep hygiene, movement, and stress management using standards of care aligned with NBC-HWC.Maintain an up-to-date calendar to support member visit scheduling.
