Bilingual Care Partner

OUR MISSION
Imagine building a better healthcare journey for patients with cancer, where individuals and their loved ones feel seen, supported, and heard by their care team – both in and out of the clinic. Where fast access to high-quality care is the norm, not the exception. Where patients have access to a care navigator to guide them through their diagnosis and trusted support all along the way. At Thyme Care, we have a passion for transforming the cancer care experience – not just for patients but also for their caregivers and loved ones, as well as those delivering and paying for their care. Today, Thyme Care is known predominantly as a cancer care navigation company enabling value-based cancer care; in the next few years, we will become a nationally recognized technology-driven and provider-centric care delivery model, reshaping the landscape of cancer care access, delivery, and experience. Our commitment runs deep—we're not satisfied with the status quo but determined to redefine it. To make this happen, we’re building a diverse team of problem solvers and critical thinkers to drive innovation and shape the future of healthcare. If you share our vision and want to be part of something truly meaningful, we want to hear from you. Together, we can revolutionize cancer care and make a difference that lasts a lifetime.
YOUR ROLE
As a bilingual Spanish/English Care Partner, your job is to engage Thyme Care members and navigate them through their cancer journey. You will report into a Care Partner Team Lead and spend most of your day reaching out to our members by phone, text, and email. You will engage with our members to identify changes in their health & social needs, discuss their goals and values to support advanced care planning, and connect them to resources. Part of your role will also be to assess the urgency of their need, determine the root cause and establish the appropriate next step. You will be responsible to connect the member to appropriate healthcare and community-based resources including Thyme Care nurses and providers. You will also research and connect members with external healthcare providers, transportation, financial grants, emotional support resources, and insurance-provided benefits. You will execute your member support using evidence-based assessments, prior experience, and problem-solving skills. In this critical role, you will serve as the primary point of contact throughout the member’s Thyme Care journey, while collaborating closely with an interdisciplinary team of healthcare professionals to ensure the member has holistic support in their care. You will spend the majority of your day working within a phone queue, handling both inbound and outbound calls in a structured, high-volume environment. You will frequently shift between member interactions, documentation, and coordination tasks throughout the day, requiring strong time management and the ability to stay focused in a fast-moving environment.
Note: In order to ensure we have sufficient coverage at all times, we maintain a schedule that includes a 30-minute lunch and two 15-minute breaks.
After your first three months, you will:
- Have completed virtual onboarding and training (two weeks long) and are up to speed on Thyme Care systems, tools, technology, partners, and expectations. You’ll spend your day outreaching to members, researching community and healthcare resources that meet their needs, and connecting members to those resources.
- Have completed language proficiency testing for team members who interact directly with members in Spanish or evaluate the quality of member interactions conducted in Spanish.
- Have built strong, trusting relationships with your members, where listening and empathy are the foundation for every interaction. You use that relationship to prioritize how we should address their needs.
- Be able to identify and prioritize a member's needs and then know where to go to get them help. This means you’ll be
