🌊 About Sailor Health

Older adults are too often overlooked by mental healthcare. Sailor Health exists to change that. Through Medicare-covered therapy, care navigation, and healthcare advocacy, we help older adults move through grief, loss, isolation, and life’s hardest transitions with more ease and peace of mind.

Our model is built around their needs and yours:

  • We handle everything outside the session. Care Navigators and Healthcare Advocates take on patients’ non-clinical needs, so your work stays clinical.

  • You’re part of a team. Clinical Quality Leads provide ongoing consultation, and our provider support team answers questions as they come up.

  • Demand is steady. We serve patients in all 50 states, with a consistent flow of referrals.

💙 What We Offer
  • A full caseload, built for you. Share your availability and we’ll match you with patients who fit. No marketing, no chasing referrals. Most clinicians have a full caseload within a few weeks.

  • Support that’s actually there. A dedicated clinical lead and live admin help. Our providers tell us it’s the most supported they’ve felt in telehealth.

  • Your schedule, your call. Work the days and hours that suit you. No on-call, no required evenings.

  • Less paperwork, more therapy. Our telehealth platform and AI documentation assistant handle the busywork.

  • Room to grow. Free CEs, geriatric-focused training, and clinical consultation with experienced directors.

  • Full benefits for W2 clinicians (25+ hours/week). Health, dental, and vision coverage, plus a 401(k) with up to 3.5% employer match.

 
💻 Your Key Responsibilities

✅ Who Thrives at Sailor
  • You care about the mission. Supporting older adults through grief, loss, and the challenges of later life feels meaningful to you.

  • You understand this population. Maybe you’ve spent years working with older adults, or you’re later in your own career and chose this work on purpose.

  • You do your best work on a team. You want colleagues, a clinical lead, and real support, not just a login and good wishes.

  • You like independence with backup. You trust your clinical judgment and want infrastructure behind you, not oversight on top of you.

What We Do

Getting older in America is tough: 90% of seniors live with chronic health conditions. 40% report feeling isolated.

Sailor Health is building the AI-native health system for happier and healthier aging. Sailor offers virtual mental health, wellness classes, care navigation, and AI care agents, all covered by Medicare. We've built the AI-powered operating system for our providers, where clinical copilots deliver real-time insights and autonomous agents handle the administrative grind. We are growing quickly and have partnered with Medicare to offer affordable and exceptional care to thousands of patients across 50 states. We are honored to have the support and backing of world-class founders from Ramp, Nourish, Headway, Charlie Health, and Spring Health.

Why Work With Us

We are one of the fastest-moving teams in health tech: every person punches above their weight and owns meaningful work far beyond their title. We’re lucky to be backed by world-class founders of Ramp, Headway, Charlie Health, Spring Health, and Nourish.
