Your Mission:

As a Thyme Care Nurse, you will be a clinical resource for our members, triaging their needs and providing clinical support via phone, email, and video throughout their cancer journey. This role reports into our Nurse Team Lead and in it, you will conduct clinical assessments, monitor our member’s health, coordinate transitions of care, teach members about their diagnosis and treatment, and coordinate end of life care. Most of your day will be dedicated to speaking with members and handling clinical escalations and outreach.

Within your first three months, you will:

• Have completed training and are up to speed on Thyme Care systems, tools, technology, partners, and expectations. You’re completing at least 20 calls with members each day. You work closely with our Nurse leaders and Medical Directors. 
• Have built strong, trusting relationships with your members, where listening and empathy are the foundation for every interaction. 
• Become comfortable with and correctly follow Care Team policies and procedures, escalation pathways, communications best practices, and documentation standards. Your ability to effectively engage and support our members is reflected in our efficiency metrics and quality standards.
• Support members and partner with providers in the oncology care continuum from screening, diagnosis, surgery, and ongoing treatment to survivorship or end-of-life.
• Be able to identify and prioritize a member’s needs and assist them with care coordination and clinical support such as symptom management, nutritional support, coordinating discharge, connecting members to high quality providers, and supporting readmission preventions.
• Monitor member progress, provide regular updates, and establish targeted support plans with the healthcare team in case conferences.
• Build strong, trusting relationships with payers and providers to optimize care and prevent readmissions for our members.
• Partner with non-clinical Care Team members to support the member’s social determinants of health needs, for example, food resources, transportation access, support at home.
• Be available for urgent clinical escalations and clinical consult support. 

WHAT LEADS TO SUCCESS

• Act with our members in mind. Thyme Care’s mission, and in particular our member experience, matters deeply to you. 
• Move with purpose. You’re biased to action. You know how to identify and prioritize your initiative’s needs, and do what it takes to ensure that urgent and important needs are acted on immediately.
• A Bachelors of Science Degree in Nursing is highly preferred. A compact unrestricted Registered Nurse (RN) license is required and willingness to obtain additional state licenses, as needed.
• Experience. You have at least 5 years of nursing experience with 3 years of direct oncology nursing (not med/surg or float). Additionally oncology related certifications like Oncology Certified Nurse (OCN), Advanced Oncology Certified Nurse (AOCN), Advanced Oncology Certified Nurse Specialist (AOCNS), or Certified Case Manager (CCM) are preferred. 
• Organized. You’re skilled in juggling multiple tasks and working under pressure without sacrificing organization in your communications and documentation.
• Effective listener and communicator. You are winsome and articulate, but you always start with listening and you hear what may not be voiced, because you listen so intently to others. You build rapport and great working relationships with members and colleagues.
• Comfort with change and ambiguity.  You have a proven track record of success within scaling businesses, fast-paced environments, and/or startups. You understand that rapid changes to the business, strategy, organization, and priorities is par for the course.
