Patient Experience Navigator, Express Care

Mass General Brigham•Northampton, MA

62d•$18 - $24•Onsite

About The Position

Express Care, formally known as Urgent Care, is a convenient option for patients 18 months and older who require timely medical care, but the situation is not an emergency. Because patients typically come to us when they aren't feeling their best, it is incredibly important to us that our staff members strive to provide the compassion and emotional support our patients need. We are seeking a full-time, 36-hour Patient Experience Navigator to join our Express Care team in Northampton! Our Express Care Center is located at 30 Locust St, Northampton, MA 01060. This position is onsite four days per week and includes an every other weekend rotation. Scheduling is flexible based on departmental needs. Since Express Care is a 7-day-per-week operation that delivers care days, evenings, weekends, and holidays, we request staff to be flexible with scheduling needs and take on weekend/holiday coverage as needed. We do our best to keep all employees in their assigned locations; however, you may also be asked to float to other locations for training/precepting purposes or during times of staffing shortages/other extenuating circumstances (for cross-coverage purposes). The other locations are Southampton, Amherst, or Greenfield.
