A Place Where You Are Valued
Community Health Workers (CHWs) are the bridge between health care and real life. At Lynn Community Health Center (LCHC), our CHWs are essential members of the care team—building trust, removing barriers, and connecting patients with the services they need to live healthier lives.
Whether you’re already certified or just beginning to explore this career path, LCHC is a place where you can grow, contribute, and be part of something bigger.
What Is a Community Health Worker?
Community Health Workers are trusted members of the community who help patients navigate health care and social service systems. They are often the first to notice a need—and the first to find a way forward.
CHWs support patients in many ways, including:
- Helping people access housing, food, or transportation
- Assisting with health care follow-ups and referrals
- Offering coaching, advocacy, and health education
- Supporting behavioral health and substance use recovery
- Conducting outreach and helping patients stay connected to care
CHWs work closely with providers, case managers, and other team members—but they bring something unique: lived experience, cultural knowledge, and a deep understanding of what it takes to get help and stay connected.
Make an Impact in the Lynn Community
As a CHW at LCHC, you’ll work directly with youth and families in Lynn—especially those who need extra support managing medical, social, or emotional needs. Your role may include:
- Educating and coaching young patients and families
- Connecting people with local services and community resources
- Helping arrange and sometimes attend medical appointments
- Re-engaging patients who’ve missed care
- Participating in community outreach

- Compassionate and resourceful
- Familiar with the Lynn community
- Comfortable talking about mental health, addiction, and recovery
- Organized, detail-oriented, and team-focused
- Ready to support youth and families through real-world challenges
Preferred qualifications:
- 3+ years of experience in community health, outreach, or case management
