WELCOME TO THE CONNECTIVE!
At The Connective, we believe that healing starts with connection.
The Connective is an integrative mental health and wellness practice providing thoughtful, whole-person care to individuals, couples, and families throughout the Bay Area. Our multidisciplinary approach brings together psychotherapy, nutrition, breathwork, and other supportive services designed to care for the whole person - mind, body, and beyond.
We believe the client experience begins long before someone walks through our doors. From the very first phone call or email, we want every person who reaches out to feel welcomed, understood, and supported.
That's where you come in!
ABOUT THE ROLE
We're looking for a warm, engaging, proactive, and highly organized Client Coordinator. The Client Coordinators is integral to our business as they are often the first point of contact for prospective new clients and work closely with the entire Connective team.
This is both a relationship-focused and results-oriented role. You'll guide prospective clients through the process of beginning care - from responding to initial inquiries and learning about their needs to helping identify the right clinician or service, scheduling consultations, and providing timely follow up. You'll create an exceptional client experience while actively supporting client acquisition, engagement, and practice growth. The right person will be able to build genuine rapport and be able to speak with others about sensitive issues in both a compassionate and professional manner.
YOU MAY BE A GREAT FIT IF YOU...
-
Genuinely enjoy talking with people and making them feel welcome.
-
Are energized by helping someone go from "I'm not sure where to start" to feeling confident about their next step.
-
Pick up the phone rather than waiting for someone to call back.
-
Notice when something needs attention and take initiative to address it.
-
Are persistent and proactive without being pushy.
-
Can balance empathy with efficiency and keep conversations moving forward.
-
Love organization, details, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.
-
Feel comfortable being accountable to goals and performance metrics.
-
Enjoy being part of a collaborative team but don't need constant direction to get things done.
-
Believe that even small interactions can make a meaningful difference in someone's experience.
