What You’ll Learn

Training at Diverge Health is immersive, hands-on, and designed to fully prepare you for success as a Health Coach. It’s a core part of your journey—building the skills, confidence, and support network you’ll need to thrive in this role.

During your initial 12-week training period, you’ll participate in daily live instruction, interactive learning modules, role plays, teach-backs, and practice sessions with real patients.

  • Hands-on practice: Frequent assignments, role plays, and feedback to build confidence and skill.
  • Real-world preparation: Learn about Motivational Interviewing, care coordination, and how to help patients navigate social needs such as food, housing, and transportation.
  • Culture of support: Dedicated trainers, clinical mentors, and peer cohorts guide you every step of the way.

At the end of your apprenticeship, you’ll complete a sign-off process to begin full-time patient care with the knowledge, tools, and community to succeed.

What You’ll Do

As a Health Coach, you will be a trusted partner to patients, helping them understand their conditions, stay engaged in their care, and take practical steps toward better health. You’ll work closely with a care team of clinicians to coordinate care and support patients holistically.

  • Motivate and empower patients through goal setting, accountability, and culturally sensitive health coaching.
  • Help patients engage or re-engage with primary care, including scheduling visits and ensuring follow-up after hospitalizations.
  • Support care coordination by reviewing charts, confirming appointments, and helping patients prepare for visits.
  • Guide patients in identifying and accessing community, health plan, and government resources (e.g., food assistance, housing, transportation) using resource directories and other tools.
  • Document patient encounters and progress accurately in our internal database-Salesforce to inform the broader care team.
  • Collaborate with Nurse Practitioners and Social Workers to facilitate case reviews and support patients with complex needs.
  • Communicate patient risks or complications promptly to clinical team members for follow-up and triage.

  • High School diploma or GED required (some college or healthcare experience preferred).
  • Strong interpersonal and organizational skills; able to build rapport quickly and follow through consistently.
  • Comfort with technology and adaptability, experience using systems like Salesforce or willingness to learn.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively across a care team.
  • Commitment to health, wellness, and supporting others in achieving their goals.
  • Local travel on a regular basis - required (up to 70%) within the surrounding community.

Who We’re Looking For

  • Empathetic, humble, and conscientious—you inspire trust and motivation in others.
  • Comfortable with change and ambiguity; self-directed and adaptable in a fast-paced environment.
  • A practical problem solver who acts quickly and thoughtfully to move work forward.
  • Skilled at building authentic connections with people from all walks of life.
  • Curious, open to feedback, and driven by continuous learning.
  • A strong ambassador for Diverge Health’s mission, values, and purpose.

Office location is subject to change based on market needs.

Timeline & Compensation

  • Eligible for consideration of an annual performance-based bonus, contingent on individual contributions and overall company goals.
