Job Description

Now Hiring: Community Health Worker
Houston, TX
$17.00 per hour | Paid Weekly
Full-Time | Short-Term Assignment (Approx. 2 Months)

Openwork’s Houston office is proud to partner with a well-established community healthcare organization seeking a dedicated Community Health Worker to support vital public health initiatives. This short-term opportunity offers valuable, hands-on experience with a respected employer making a meaningful difference in the community.

If you are community-driven, outgoing, and passionate about public health education, this role provides the chance to make a direct impact while strengthening your outreach and engagement experience.

About the Role:

Reporting to the Outreach Cohort Supervisor, the Community Health Worker will play a key role in promoting Lead Poisoning Prevention and Environmental Public Health programs. This position blends active community engagement with in-office coordination to support overall outreach objectives.

You will serve as a trusted liaison between the organization and the community—educating residents, connecting individuals to services, and building lasting partnerships.

What You’ll Do:

  • Conduct community outreach through canvassing, local business engagement, and event participation.
  • Provide education and program information through phone outreach and in-person engagement.
  • Create and deliver presentations and workshops on public health topics.
  • Initiate referrals while ensuring confidentiality and professionalism.
  • Track, collect, and submit outreach data accurately and consistently.
  • Recommend improvements to outreach strategies and assist with training updates.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with community partners and stakeholders.
  • Support emergency response initiatives and additional outreach efforts as needed.

What We’re Looking For:

  • High school diploma required.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
  • Confidence presenting to diverse audiences.
  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
  • Organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable with data tracking and reporting.
  • A genuine passion for community engagement and public health.

Schedule:

  • Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM.
  • Some evenings required.
  • Community events every other weekend required.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

  • Weekly pay.
  • Meaningful, mission-driven work.
  • Valuable public health and outreach experience.
  • Opportunity to represent a reputable community healthcare organization.

If you are ready to contribute to important public health initiatives and gain hands-on outreach experience, we encourage you to apply today.

For questions about this opportunity, please contact Openwork at 713-977-8555.
