Role Type: Private Oncology Care Navigation & Patient Support
Location: Primarily Remote / Virtual; occasional in-person support may be considered
We are seeking an experienced Private Oncology Care Navigator to provide highly personalized support to an individual navigating a breast cancer diagnosis, treatment planning, and related health considerations.
The ideal candidate will have substantial hands-on oncology experience—preferably supporting individuals with breast cancer—and combine strong clinical literacy with exceptional care navigation, organization, patient advocacy, communication, and interpersonal skills.
The Care Navigator will serve as a knowledgeable and highly organized partner who helps the client navigate the healthcare system, prepare for medical appointments, organize and understand information from physicians, coordinate across multiple specialists, track recommendations and follow-up items, and implement physician-approved health and wellness priorities.
This is not a physician role. The Care Navigator will complement, not replace, the client’s medical team and will maintain clear professional boundaries around diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and other medical decisions.
The strongest candidate will combine:
Oncology expertise + breast-cancer experience + care navigation + patient advocacy + exceptional organization + accountability + excellent communication + emotional intelligence + sound judgment.
The individual should be proactive, compassionate, highly organized, discreet, trustworthy, and comfortable working collaboratively with the client’s physicians and family.
Most importantly, the Care Navigator should know when to help, when to ask questions, and when an issue needs to be referred back to a physician or other licensed healthcare professional.
This role is intended to complement—not replace—licensed medical care.
The Care Navigator will not independently diagnose medical conditions, determine prognosis, prescribe treatment, select cancer therapies, recommend starting or stopping prescribed medications, override physician recommendations, or provide individualized interpretations of pathology, imaging, laboratory results, or other diagnostic findings outside the scope of their professional license.
The Care Navigator will not recommend unproven therapies as substitutes for evidence-based cancer treatment or advise the client to delay or discontinue conventional medical care.
When medical judgment is required, the Care Navigator should help identify the issue, formulate the appropriate questions, and obtain guidance from the relevant licensed healthcare provider.
This is intended to be a high-touch, part-time engagement rather than a traditional fixed-hour administrative position.
The engagement may include regular scheduled sessions, preparation before important medical appointments, follow-up after specialist consultations, care-plan organization, tracking outstanding actions and decisions, and reasonable communication between sessions when significant care-navigation needs arise.
Occasional participation in or support surrounding important medical appointments may also be appropriate when requested and authorized.
Because the role may involve access to sensitive personal and medical information, the Care Navigator must demonstrate exceptional discretion and maintain confidentiality in accordance with applicable professional, legal, and contractual obligations.
Specific scheduling, availability, communication expectations, compensation, and scope of engagement will be discussed during the interview process.
