About The Position

IMPaCT Care is partnering with Kaiser Permanente & IMPaCT Care to hire Community Health Workers (CHWs) in the Denver area. As a CHW, you will be a vital resource connecting high-risk patients to the care and services they need through trust, cultural understanding, and problem-solving. This is a field-based position, working directly in the community, not behind a desk. You will build relationships, identify and address barriers to care (such as food insecurity, transportation, and housing), connect patients to care teams and community resources, and document interactions using digital tools and the EPIC EMR System. You will also complete SDOH screenings, participate in integrated care huddles, and collaborate with clinical teams. The role requires a high school diploma or equivalent, 1-3 years of experience in community-based outreach, health education, or related work, a valid driver's license, ownership of a vehicle, car insurance, and the ability to pass a background check and pre-employment screening. The schedule is Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm, with occasional flexibility needed. IMPaCT Care offers competitive compensation, equity grants, comprehensive benefits, and a culture built on teamwork and impact.
