Care Educator - Level 1

Trualta

Trualta

Posted on Tuesday, April 23, 2024

At Trualta, we empower families to help loved ones age in place. Our clinically validated digital health platform brings professional-level training to individuals caring for loved ones with dementia, intellectual or developmental disabilities, Parkinson's Disease, stroke, and other illnesses. Our expanding content library continues to adapt to the unique needs of family caregivers. Caregiving is a serious challenge for many Americans with more than 15% of American workers reporting they are providing ongoing care for a loved one, making a solution like Trualta more valuable than ever.

The Care Educator plays a critical role in providing support to caregivers while also internally supporting the Trualta caregiver community as a whole. Caregivers commonly deal with feelings of isolation and uncertainty, longing to connect with someone that simply understands. That's your mission as a Care Educator; through a combination of empathy, technology, and relationship building, we look to you to help build a vibrant community and accessible support for our caregivers. You will offer a space where caregivers can feel safe, accepted, and valued by giving them the tools and confidence to better care of loved ones at home. Internally, we term our live events programs as “Connection” programs. You will also support the Connection initiatives by coordinating efforts around support group recruitment, outreach communication such as newsletters, and other internal efforts to make this part of the business successful. You will also develop your business skills as you collect program data, research educational topics, and coordinate with team members to make program iterative improvements. This is an opportunity for someone who is passionate about helping caregivers and wants to transform their clinical experience into education technology business experience to create impactful health outcomes at scale.

Role and Responsibilities

The Level 1 Care Educator will facilitate the variety of groups Trualta offers, including cohort-based support groups, interest groups, and semi-facilitated groups. You will also engage with caregivers in our forum, Trualta’s Community Chat Room, allowing caregivers to experience the benefit of interacting with others in an asynchronous way. Lastly, you will coordinate with other team members and perform program-related operational tasks. You will report to the Care Education Manager and work closely with other Product Team Members to ensure a collaborative and informed team environment.
