The Healthcare Consortium is currently hiring for two (2) full-time Health Insurance Navigators.
Two (2) Full-Time Health Insurance Navigators
The Healthcare Consortium is looking for two people who want to join our friendly and welcoming team in a flexible and supportive workplace.
Currently, we are seeking to fill two full-time (35 hours per week) non-exempt positions in our Navigator Program. Our Navigators help individuals and families in Columbia and Greene Counties to apply for health insurance through the New York State of Health, NY’s health insurance marketplace. Since providing this help often eases the worry and confusion that people have about health insurance and improves their ability to get and stay healthy, it can be deeply rewarding work.
The role involves working with people both in person and by phone, primarily from an office located in Hudson but also from libraries, town halls, churches, and other locations in Columbia and Greene Counties. Travel to those locations must be in one’s own personal vehicle and will be reimbursed at the federal rate ($.70/mile in 2025). The role also involves working some evenings and weekends, though this is only done occasionally and with ample advance notice.
The Healthcare Consortium is seeking applicants who are motivated to help others, curious and eager to learn, and committed to providing excellent customer service. Other qualifications include a high school diploma, basic computer skills, and a valid driver’s license; no special knowledge or previous experience with health insurance is required, as extensive training will be provided. Preference will be given to individuals who speak Spanish and/or Bangla.
The starting wage for this non-exempt position is $20.00/hour with a rich benefit package. Application packages will be evaluated and applicants interviewed on a rolling basis until a suitable candidate is found.
