Job Opening: Community Health Worker Program Coordinator

LIFT Grundy is much more than giving people rides (though we are a mobility network). We are also in the business of helping people to move toward healthier and more prosperous lives. Key to that work is our Community Health Workers, who accompany people who are on a journey to better health, connecting them with resources and supporting them as they manage their health challenges.

Community Health Worker Program Coordinator

The Community Health Worker (CHW) Coordinator is responsible for leading and managing the CHW program across the South Cumberland Plateau as part of the South Cumberland Health Mobility Project (LIFT Grundy), funded through the Tennessee Department of Health. This role includes program planning, oversight of CHW service delivery, and coordination, coaching, and support of the CHW team.

Community Health Workers (CHWs) are trusted community members who build relationships, connect people to resources, and help individuals navigate systems to support their health and well-being.

The CHW Coordinator will support a team of CHWs and ensure their successful completion of the Rural Health Association of Tennessee Community Health Worker apprenticeship, integration into clinic-based and transportation-based workflows, and long-term professional development. This position will model and reinforce best practices in health navigation, data tracking, and community-driven engagement.

The CHW Coordinator supports and guides CHWs in delivering services and connecting community members to resources but does not serve as the primary provider of direct services or provide full-time supervision.

The ideal candidate has experience both organizing programs and working directly in the community, and can manage big-picture planning while also handling day-to-day tasks. For more information and to apply, click here.
