Intake Specialist

Steadfast Health was founded to establish a new standard of substance use disorder (SUD) care. Recognizing that traditional treatment methods often fall short of reaching patients when they’re most in need, Steadfast is relentlessly focused on making low-barrier, high quality care accessible to all. We know that the journey to recovery is unique for every individual, and our patient-centered approach ensures we meet patients where they are, providing evidence-based therapies with unwavering support in a compassionate environment that fosters healing and growth.  

The Role 

Every person who reaches out to Steadfast Health is taking a meaningful step. As an Intake Specialist, you're the first voice they hear. You'll guide prospective patients, current patients, and referring partners through the process of accessing care, from that first conversation to a scheduled appointment. You'll answer questions, verify insurance, build patient charts, and make sure no one falls through the cracks.

• Comfort working across digital tools: Microsoft Office, video conferencing, spreadsheets, CRMs, and whatever else the job requires 
• Strong written and verbal communication skills built for a remote environment — clear, warm, and responsive 
• Self-directed and organized, with the ability to manage competing priorities without losing the details 
• A collaborative spirit and a patient-first mindset — you advocate, you follow through, and you take the work seriously
