About the role

This is not a typical social work or nursing role. If you've felt that traditional healthcare roles have a ceiling on you, and you want to actually bridge the gaps for older adults after they leave the office or facility, Hera is for you. An older adult gets discharged from the hospital and you already know they'll be back in 30 days. A family leaves overwhelmed, clutching a stack of papers with numbers they'll never get through. You did everything you could within the system and itstill wasn't enough. We started Hera because we felt the system was letting down the generation that raised us. Hera is dedicated care management in the community for older adults, covered by Medicare. Every family gets matched with a dedicated Hero, you, who actually has the tools, time, and autonomy to help. It's not a 15 min monthly check-in call. It's real, ongoing support where you see things through and families call you their Hero.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
