About The Position

We are living through a pivotal moment for reproductive and sexual health—and Hey Jane is uniquely positioned to help.

From day one, we've been committed to providing safe, discreet medication abortion treatment—and have helped more than 100,000 people get the care they need. Today, we offer a range of reproductive and sexual health care services from the comfort and convenience of your phone. Our in-house clinical care team, composed of board certified doctors, advanced practice clinicians, nurses, and patient care advocates, is just a text message away. We’re committed to helping our patients get safe, discreet, judgment-free virtual health care, from a team that truly cares.

The team at Hey Jane is looking to expand our team by adding a detail oriented, human-centered, tech-savvy Patient Care Advocate with a background in medication abortion who can provide excellent customer service on a full-time basis.

This is a hybrid role with required in-clinic hours at our Oakland clinic. Initially, this team member will work approximately 30 to 40 hours per week on-site. On-site hours may increase over time based on clinic staffing needs.

Schedule: This role will work 8–10 hour shifts scheduled between 7:00am–7:00pm PT. Final shift length and start/end times will be determined based on clinic needs and team coverage.

Workdays: Scheduled 4–5 days per week within Monday–Saturday. Exact days will be established at hire and may evolve over time based on clinic operations (this role will not be scheduled all six days).

Compensation: $65,000 annually, salaried with benefits

This role requires a high level of accuracy and follow-through. Small details directly impact patient care. We value team members who take pride in getting things right, asking clarifying questions, and closing loops.

At Hey Jane, we work towards the vision of having equitable healthcare, changing the status quo, and rebuilding the way people experience healthcare—and bring that same vision to our workplace. We’re an equal opportunity employer committed to building an inclusive environment, and encourage all applicants from every background and life experience.
