Jeff Kornblau Partners for Patient Advocacy (JKPPA) is currently looking for a Part-Time manager(s) to assist in the implementation and growth of our Health Care Tech for Seniors Program. This is an excellent opportunity for a student, a recent graduate, retiree, or someone looking to rejoin the workforce to gain experience working in a non-profit and on community programming.
JKPPA is a non-profit public charity patient advocacy organization. Our mission is to assist clients in navigating the health care and related systems, improve patients’ communications and coordination of their own care with their providers, improve patient experiences and health outcomes, identify systemic problems and work to influence positive changes for the individual and public good.
The ideal enthusiastic and energetic candidate will have a passion for engaging with individuals, community outreach, peer-to-peer interactions and group facilitation. You should be tech savvy and have excellent communication and presentation skills, such as someone with a background in theater or education; have the ability to learn digital health literacy principles, including health care portal applications and navigation, telemedicine, Zoom, video conferencing and accessing Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid portals. U nderstanding of social engagement, common barriers to health care access, and being bi-lingual are pluses.
JKPPA is conducting 7-week programs at local senior centers, community centers, and community libraries throughout the City of Philadelphia. These workshops will cover basic digital literacy, health care portal navigation, video conferencing, and navigation of health care applications.
We are looking to immediately fill a few positions and hold interviews for positions that will become available in early 2025. After initial training, each program has a time commitment of 2 hours per week for 7 weeks. Interested candidates can participate in one or more programs.
We offer opportunities for training, programming review, understanding health care expectations, tips, and becoming a part of JKPPA’s family of helping others feel confident in taking charge of their own health care!
