Summer Patient Care Liaison – Onsite (Rural Retreat, VA — expanding to Abingdon & Roanoke)
$15/hour | Onsite Only | Summer Position with Room to Grow
Looking for a meaningful summer job that does more than fill your résumé? We’re hiring a dependable, compassionate college student to step into a Patient Care Liaison role for the summer, covering for someone who’s away.
This is a great fit if you’re studying nursing, psychology, public health, pre-med, social work, or anything healthcare-adjacent — but those majors aren’t required. What matters is reliability, patience, and being comfortable with simple technology.
You’ll help patients inside a partnering healthcare facility attend their virtual psychiatric and medical appointments — setting them up on the facility iPad, making sure the device is charged and ready, and being a calm, friendly presence throughout.
Schedule & Pay
- Starts light: Tuesdays & Thursdays (occasional Fridays), around 6 hours/week
- Strong potential to ramp up to nearly full-time within the next several weeks
- $15/hour, onsite
What You’ll Do
- Help patients get to their scheduled virtual appointments within the facility
- Set up the iPad for each telehealth visit (Zoom/telehealth apps already installed)
- Keep the iPad charged, connected to Wi-Fi, and working properly
- Troubleshoot simple tech issues (volume, camera, log-in, connection)
- Let providers know when a patient is ready and help keep sessions on schedule
- Log completed appointments and flag any missed sessions to staff
- Be a warm, supportive presence for patients
What We’re Looking For
- Currently enrolled college student (or recent grad) available for the summer
- Comfortable with basic technology and tablets
- Strong communication and people skills
- Reliable, organized, and punctual
- Any experience in healthcare, mental health, assisted living, or patient support is a plus, but not required
- Must be able to work onsite in Rural Retreat, VA
Work Location: In person
