Street Outreach Advisor - San Diego County

Location: Hybrid - Field Based (San Diego County)
Employment Type: Full-Time
Hourly Pay Range: $21 – $24 per hour

At Pacific Health Group, we’re transforming healthcare by connecting people to the care and community resources they deserve. Our mission is to improve health outcomes by addressing social determinants of health and coordinating comprehensive, community-based services.

If you’re passionate about making a difference and thrive in a collaborative, community-focused environment, we’d love to have you on our team.

The Street Outreach Advisor is a field-based role that blends relationship-building with hands-on community engagement. You’ll partner with local organizations to create referral pathways and meet directly with members — helping them access the care, resources, and support services they need to improve their health and stability.

Most of your time will be spent in the field — meeting with partners, attending events, and connecting individuals to programs such as care management, behavioral health, housing, and community-based supports. This position requires flexibility, local travel, and the ability to adapt to changing community needs while maintaining compassion and professionalism.

Partnership Development

• Identify and engage community-based organizations (CBOs) across diverse categories, including clinics, shelters, housing providers, and food access programs.
• Build and maintain warm-referral pathways using tools like QR codes, shared forms, and easy-to-use quick guides.
• Represent PHG at meetings, fairs, and outreach events; co-host community engagement activities.
• Gather partner feedback and recommend process improvements to strengthen collaboration.

Direct Member Engagement

• Conduct outreach in encampments, shelters, clinics, and other high-need community settings.
• Perform brief, trauma-informed screenings to assess medical, behavioral, and social needs.
• Support on-the-spot enrollments, help members schedule appointments, and coordinate transportation.
• Provide plain-language explanations of services and adapt communication for diverse audiences.

Documentation and Reporting

• Record outreach and referral data accurately in PHG’s CRM system.
• Track weekly field goals and share insights about barriers, trends, and successes.
• Uphold privacy, consent, and trauma-informed care standards in all interactions.

The Street Outreach Advisor role is dynamic and community-focused. Below are examples of what your work may look like:

1. Hospital Partnership Launch

You meet with a hospital discharge planner to establish a referral process for recently discharged patients. You introduce PHG services, share a simple “How to Refer” guide with a QR code, and agree on a 24-hour callback process. Within a week, several referrals come through, marking the start of a partnership that helps patients safely transition back into care.

2. Street Outreach with a Street Medicine Team

You join a clinician at a local encampment to meet residents where they are. After offering supplies and listening to their needs, you identify individuals with urgent medical or behavioral health concerns. You connect them to the Street Medicine team on-site, complete brief screenings, and coordinate mobile intakes for continued support.

3. Community Pop-Up Screening Day

At a community health center, you set up a bilingual outreach table. You greet attendees, explain available support in plain language, and screen for eligibility in programs like ECM or Community Supports. Before they leave, you help schedule appointments and arrange transportation if needed — ensuring a warm handoff to care coordination teams.

• Experience in community outreach, public health, social services, or health navigation.
• Clear, empathetic communication skills; comfortable presenting to groups and engaging one-on-one.
• Proficiency with mobile tools and CRM systems; organized and detail-oriented.
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
• Ability to travel locally and work evenings or weekends as needed

• Demonstrated success in building partnerships with CBOs or clinics.
