The Greater Wisconsin Agency on Aging Resources Inc.
(GWAAR) currently has 30 hours/week *Bilingual (Spanish/English) Outreach & Education Coordinator* position available with the Senior Medicare Patrol program.
The Bilingual Education & Outreach Coordinator is an essential team member within the Senior Medicare Patrol program, a federally funded grant program.
The goal of the Senior Medicare Patrol is to raise awareness and identify Medicare fraud, errors, and abuse.
The program focuses on educating and empowering Medicare beneficiaries to be good health care consumers and to recognize potential misuses of Medicare.
The Bilingual Outreach & Education Coordinator is responsible for increasing the awareness of the Senior Medicare Patrol program and mission among the Spanish-speaking communities in Wisconsin.
The position is remote with a flexible location within the state of Wisconsin; however, we anticipate much of the partnership building and outreach will be in the greater Milwaukee area.
The Bilingual Outreach & Education Coordinator will deliver educational presentations and conduct outreach, identity potential volunteers to be engaged with this work, provide bilingual support with the toll-free helpline to answer inquiries and provide beneficiary education regarding billing issues and suspected fraud, and work to develop and strengthen partnerships with other agencies and professional associations.
A bachelor’s degree and bilingual proficiency, written and oral, in Spanish/English is required.
This position requires daily interaction with Medicare beneficiaries and professionals who work with Medicare beneficiaries; therefore, superior written and oral communication skills are necessary.
Familiarity with Medicare, Social Security, and/or other benefit programs is highly desirable.
Access to a reliable vehicle, a valid driver’s license, and the ability to occasionally travel overnight throughout the state are required.
