We believe virtual care isn't a compromise — it's care delivered the way patients actually want it. Our job is to make that experience simple, reliable, and human.

About the Role

By ensuring smooth patient flow, the PSS plays a critical role in maintaining patient satisfaction, keeping the clinical schedule on track, and delivering an exceptional virtual care experience.

We are hiring for multiple full-time positions. All opportunities are fully remote. The hours are Monday-Friday 9-6pm EST, compensated at a rate of $17 per hour.
