• Behavioral Coaching: Support and reinforce client behavior changes by providing consistent risk-reduction messaging and identifying solutions to overcome barriers to care.
• PrEP Advocacy: Educate clients on the benefits of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and provide hands-on assistance in accessing medication.
• Holistic Referrals: Develop plans to secure necessary social services—including housing, substance use treatment, and job training—through active referrals, case management assistance, and follow-up.
• Compliance & Data: Maintain strict HIPAA compliance and confidentiality; ensure high-quality data collection, maintenance, and reporting within the GRI system.

Qualifications

• Education: Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Public Health, Social Work, or a related field.
• Equivalent Experience: In lieu of a degree, two (2) years of direct, relevant experience in HIV/STI prevention, community outreach, or social services will be accepted.

• Legal: Must possess a valid Oklahoma Driver’s License and pass required background checks.
