Founded in 1866, The Floating Hospital (TFH) is one of the last remaining charity hospitals in New York City. Our commitment is the same as it was 160 years ago: unrestricted healthcare to all who walk through our doors, regardless of identity, insurance status, or

the ability to pay. We welcome individuals of all ages, from infants, school-age children (5+), youth and adults. The Floating Hospital is a Federally Qualified Health Center and the largest provider to homeless families living in family shelters and domestic violence safe houses throughout all five boroughs.

TFH is seeking an experienced, passionate, and detail-oriented homeless family and community Outreach Director to represent TFH in its relationships with directors of both homeless family shelters and domestic violence safe houses, residents in public housing, and community residents. This managerial position will supervise several outreach staff, will build strong partnerships with case managers and social workers at the non-profits who operate the shelters and safe houses, and ensure effective coordination within TFH departments that serve both populations. Data and reporting experience is expected, along with prior sales experience.

The candidate selected for this role will be selling the services TFH has to offer: medical, dental, behavioral health, podiatry, and optometry services to the populations in which we serve.

Reporting to the Executive Vice President of Clinical Administration/Chief Medical Officer, the successful candidate will oversee up to 6.0 FTEs. This is an on-site, Monday – Friday position, with some evening work related to attending and presenting at workshops/fairs as required.
