Sincerity

Our progressive and dedicated team strives to change the lives of our patients and provide exceptional care.

This is a fast-paced work environment that requires critical thinking, teamwork, and superior communication between staff, patients, and our community.

We are looking for a Care Coordinator to be the FACE of BBHH on the phone.

This person will help with BBHH's vision of providing excellent care and striving to be the best hospital we can be.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Simply put: HUMANS WHO CARE

Though we do need to meet some minimum requirements for the position such a High School Diploma or Equivalent, and some experience in a call center/healthcare environment, we're really looking for people who bring their HEART to work.

If you have previous experience in a call center or mental healthcare hospital environment where your attention was focused on CARE IN CONTACT (answering and making calls that required you to identify human behavior or other mental healthcare situations) your application to this position will be moved to the shortlist of candidates.

Our patients, our community, and our co-workers RELY on us to be committed to their wellness,

Through prevention, intervention, treatment, and education, we can and we will make a difference not just here in Bakersfield, but throughout our extended communities.

You should have a current CPR certification when you apply or obtain certification prior to your start date.

If you don't have a current CPR certification, just let us know and we'll make sure you get it before you start -- and even cover the cost for you.

Additionally, you'll complete a "Handle-With-Care" Physical Restraint Technique Training during your orientation so that you know how and when to engage when such an event occurs.

EXPECTATIONS
