Phone and Chat Specialist with Bonus

Help our essential workers get to the frontlines! We are looking for phone and credential specialists to play a part in connecting nurses with healthcare facilities needing to fill shifts. You will navigate online to verify the nurses’ credentials after they’ve selected the healthcare facility they would like to work with. You’ll then follow-up with the nurse with a written message to confirm if their credentials are valid for that facility.
