Overview of the Engagement Specialist
At Wayspring, we believe consistent support can make a real difference in someone’s health journey. As an Engagement Specialist, you’ll work telephonically with members enrolled in our program, helping them stay connected to care through ongoing communication and encouragement. You’ll build trusted relationships over time, offering a steady and friendly presence as members work toward their goals as they navigate substance use disorder (SUD). This role is a great fit for someone who is personable, professional, and values meaningful interactions. You’ll support a specific health plan market(s) and use your communication skills to help members feel understood and supported. It’s a role where seemingly small moments of connection can lead to real progress.
