This role is for someone who loves working directly with people, supporting them through behavioral, emotional, and social challenges, and helping them navigate the realities of busy, high-stress lives./p pstrongThis isn’t a traditional therapy-only role./strongnbsp;You’ll join a small, collaborative care team — including primary care clinicians, advanced practice clinicians, a dietitian, medical assistants, and other care partners — working across in-person and virtual settings, with potential expansion to mobile clinics. You’ll support participants through individual and group-based behavioral health interventions and help integrate mental health, lifestyle change, and social support into a structured six-month program focused on whole-person health./p pBeyond participant care, you’ll help shape how the program runs — refining workflows, supporting program operations, and helping design systems that make it easier for drivers to stay engaged in care. You’ll also work alongside Akido’s AI-powered platform to improve care delivery — using technology to reduce administrative burden and strengthen, not replace, human connection./p pThis is anbsp;strongzero-to-one opportunity/strong. You’ll be joining early, with real ownership over how the program is built and grown — from how behavioral health support is delivered to how the model scales across New York City.

evidence and designed to prevent and manage chronic conditions such as obesity, pre-diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, while also addressing the real-life factors that shape health — including stress, isolation, financial strain, trauma exposure, and work-related challenges./p pIf you’re passionate about behavioral health integration, community-based care, and building trust with
