Phone and Chat Specialist

Help our essential workers get to the frontlines! We are looking for phone and credential specialists to play a part in connecting nurses with healthcare facilities needing to fill shifts. You will navigate online to verify the nurses’ credentials after they’ve selected the healthcare facility they would like to work with. You’ll then follow-up with the nurse with a written message to confirm if their credentials are valid for that facility. You will also be handling follow up phone calls with those checking on the status of picking up shifts.  Join Five Star Call Centers and become part of this critical team helping our essential healthcare workers.
