Health Workers

CWHC's Clinical Services Program will be hiring two Health Workers to start in the New Year. As an essential part of our team approach to care, a Health Worker provides one-on-one health screenings, health education, and client follow-up in reproductive and sexual health as well as gender-affirming hormone therapy. After a comprehensive 6-8 month paid training period, Health Workers graduate with the knowledge and skills to provide affirming and respectful care to our clients.

The Health Worker position is a part of CWHC’s Clinical Services Program and directly participates in our non-hierarchical team approach to health care provision. The responsibilities of a Health Worker are performed using a model of care that supports client autonomy and partners with clients in addressing their healthcare needs. Health Workers work in close collaboration with our nurse practitioner team in all aspects of clinic services. Any Health Worker position may encompass additional responsibilities in reception, general client follow-up and clinic administrative systems.

We are currently hiring for two Health Workers with two different focuses. To learn more about the Health Worker Position (Sexual and Reproductive Health Focus) and how to apply, click here. To learn more about the Health Worker Position (Trans Health Focus) and how to apply, click here.

People of all backgrounds, particularly people of color and trans or gender-expansive individuals, are encouraged to apply. Specifically for the Health Worker position, we are encouraging individuals with deep familiarity with LGBTQ+ and Spanish-speaking communities to apply.  

We ask that those who have received counseling at CWHC wait two years before applying to work as a Health Worker, in order to protect client confidentiality and to preserve the boundaries of the client/counselor relationship.
