Bilingual Outreach & Education Coordinator

The Greater Wisconsin Agency on Aging

Resources Inc. (GWAAR) currently has 30 hours/week Bilingual (Spanish/English) Outreach & Education Coordinator position

available with the Senior Medicare Patrol program.

The Bilingual Education & Outreach

Coordinator is an essential team member within the Senior Medicare Patrol program,

a federally funded grant program.  The

goal of the Senior Medicare Patrol is to raise awareness and identify Medicare

fraud, errors, and abuse.  The program

focuses on educating and empowering Medicare beneficiaries to be good health care

consumers and to recognize potential misuses of Medicare.  The Bilingual Outreach & Education

Coordinator is responsible for increasing the awareness of the Senior Medicare

Patrol program and mission among the Spanish-speaking communities in Wisconsin.

The position is remote with a flexible location within the state of Wisconsin;

however, we anticipate much of the partnership building and outreach will be in

the greater Milwaukee area. The Bilingual Outreach & Education Coordinator

will deliver educational presentations and conduct outreach, identity potential

volunteers to be engaged with this work, provide bilingual support with the

toll-free helpline to answer inquiries and provide beneficiary education

regarding billing issues and suspected fraud, and work to develop and

strengthen partnerships with other agencies and professional associations.

A bachelor’s degree and bilingual proficiency,

written and oral, in Spanish/English is required.  This position requires daily interaction with

Medicare beneficiaries and professionals who work with Medicare beneficiaries;

therefore, superior written and oral communication skills are necessary.  Familiarity with Medicare, Social Security, and/or other benefit programs is highly desirable.  Access to a reliable vehicle, a valid driver’s license, and the ability to occasionally travel overnight throughout the state are required.
