About the Role The Member Access Specialist plays a critical role in connecting people to life-changing addiction and mental health care at Eleanor Health. This role sits at the intersection of healthcare access, patient advocacy, and consultative sales. Member Access Specialists are often the first human connection a prospective member has with Eleanor Health. You will guide individuals and families through moments of uncertainty, help them understand their care options, and confidently advocate for Eleanor Health’s care model when it is the right fit. This is not a traditional call center or passive customer service role. Success requires urgency, empathy, follow-through, and a strong comfort with goals, metrics, and outcomes. You will work in a fast-paced, technology-enabled environment where your efforts directly impact access to care, enrollment, and recovery outcomes.
