The Opportunity
We're building something new for New York City's independent drivers - the people who keep the city moving but are often left out of traditional healthcare systems. Together with the Independent Drivers Guild and the Workers Benefit Fund (WBF), we launched the Worker Healthy Living Program (WHLP) - a lifestyle medicine-informed program designed to help drivers live healthier, longer lives through food, movement, sleep, stress management, and community.
We're looking for a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who believes that lasting health change comes from trust, consistency, and meaningful human connection - not just information. This role is for someone who loves working directly with people, supporting them through behavioral, emotional, and social challenges, and helping them navigate the realities of busy, high-stress lives.
This isn't a traditional therapy-only role. You'll join a small, collaborative care team - including primary care clinicians, advanced practice clinicians, a dietitian, medical assistants, and other care partners - working across in-person and virtual settings, with potential expansion to mobile clinics. You'll support participants through individual and group-based behavioral health interventions and help integrate mental health, lifestyle change, and social support into a structured six-month program focused on whole-person health.
Beyond participant care, you'll help shape how the program runs - refining workflows, supporting program operations, and helping design systems that make it easier for drivers to stay engaged in care. You'll also work alongside Akido's AI-powered platform to improve care delivery - using technology to reduce administrative burden and strengthen, not replace, human connection.
This is a zero-to-one opportunity. You'll be joining early, with real ownership over how the program is built and grown - from how behavioral health support is delivered to how the model scales across New York City. We're looking for someone who's energized by ambiguity, comfortable experimenting, and motivated to help turn a promising pilot into a sustainable, community-centered model.
WHLP is grounded in evidence and designed to prevent and manage chronic conditions such as obesity, pre-diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, while also addressing the real-life factors that shape health - including stress, isolation, financial strain, trauma exposure, and work-related challenges.
If you're passionate about behavioral health integration, community-based care, and building trust with populations that have been historically underserved - this is your opportunity to help reimagine the role of social work in primary care from the ground up.
You'll Be a Great Fit If You
Required Qualifications
This is a mobile and field-based role, with work spanning mobile clinics, community organizations, and virtual platforms across New York City. You'll also spend time collaborating in person from Akido's Brooklyn headquarters, using the office as a home base for care team connection, planning, and program building.
Flexibility is essential, as the role may involve nontraditional hours - including early mornings, evenings, or weekends - to best serve our participant population.
