At PurposeCare, we're looking for an energetic, motivated Marketing Specialist / Patient Advocate to help expand access to quality care in the home.

- Drive Business Growth: Identify new opportunities, generate referrals, and help convert those referrals into successful Starts of Care (SOCs).
- Be a Trusted Community Partner: Educate healthcare professionals, patients, and families about PurposeCare's services and how we can support their needs.
- Own Your Territory: Develop and execute a strategic outreach plan, including in-person visits, networking events, educational presentations, and community partnerships.
- Support the Referral Process: Collaborate with intake, clinical, and operations teams to ensure smooth communication, appropriate documentation, and timely transitions into care.
- Track Your Success: Maintain accurate referral activity and follow-ups in our CRM, monitor performance metrics, and identify opportunities to improve results.

Qualifications:
- At least 1 year of experience in home health, home care, healthcare marketing, business development, case management, or a related field.
- Strong relationship-building, communication, presentation, and networking skills.
- A proactive, outgoing personality with the confidence to initiate conversations and develop new business.

- Comfortable working toward measurable goals, including referral generation and Starts of Care.
- Proficiency with CRM systems, Microsoft Office, and other business technology.
- Valid driver's license and willingness to travel regularly throughout the assigned territory.
Even Better If You Have:
- Existing referral relationships or an established network within the local healthcare community.
- Experience with home health or home care referral development, patient admissions, or care transitions.
