## About This Role
Magenta Care is seeking a highly organized, proactive Care Coordinator with a Medical Assistant background to support our growing home health and home infusion operations. This role is central to ensuring smooth patient intake, timely scheduling, strong communication, and seamless coordination between patients, nurses, providers, and internal leadership.
As the primary point of contact during business hours, you will serve as the communication hub for Magenta Care — fielding calls from patients, families, and providers, coordinating schedules with nursing staff, and ensuring that documentation and processes run efficiently behind the scenes.
The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, adaptable, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment. This role requires strong administrative skills, healthcare knowledge, and the ability to manage multiple priorities with professionalism and compassion.
## Schedule & Availability
This is a full-time position with scheduled hours of Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM PT, including a 30-minute unpaid lunch break (40 paid hours per week). The Care Coordinator provides primary phone coverage during these hours.
Home health coordination occasionally requires communication outside standard business hours — such as nurse call-outs, schedule changes, or urgent patient needs. All hours worked, including after-hours communication, are tracked and compensated. Calls received outside scheduled hours are routed to the Director of Clinical Services or voicemail; the Care Coordinator reviews and follows up during the next business day.
