About Boston Community Pediatrics
Boston Community Pediatrics (BCP) is starting a movement to change the way healthcare is delivered to all children, regardless of income. Join us
BCP is a nonprofit pediatric private practice, the first of its kind in Massachusetts. Its mission is to bring equity to pediatric healthcare by offering underserved patients direct access to their primary care provider through traditional medical office visits, telemedicine, and mobile medical services while providing comprehensive, prevention-oriented healthcare, care navigation services, and integrated behavioral health services.
About the Care Navigator
BCP is currently seeking a Care Navigator to join our team. The Care Navigator is responsible for providing case management services and addressing the social determinants of health (SDOH) for patients at BCP.

Care Navigation services include supporting housing, food, transportation and utility insecurities, childcare and education needs, and job searches, as well as connecting them to the appropriate community programs. This position also requires connecting families to outside agencies to support them with resources outside of our practice expertise, such as immigration issues, legal issues, and custody cases, among others. The care navigator may also be able to help families in creating ways through the support of BCP's hardship fund. They also will help families coordinate follow-up medical appointments as well as specialty referrals. Lastly, they will work collaboratively with the wellness navigator to connect patients with health and wellness support.
The care navigator will play a supportive role, with an emphasis on patient engagement, in the coordination and execution of BCP's special events for patients which include Back to School Night, Camp Night, Job Night, Thanksgiving Meals Distribution, and BCP's Holiday Shop.
Integrated Care Navigation and Wellness services are a critical component of BCP's successful model in centering patients and their needs in all that we do as we work to improve the way healthcare is delivered to all children. The Care Navigator will report to the Director of Care Navigation and Wellness Director and will be an important team member of the Care Navigation and Wellness Department.
