Position Summary

The UNC Formerly Incarcerated Transition (FIT) Program is situated within the Department of Family Medicine at UNC Chapel Hill. The FIT Program is a partnership between UNC Family Medicine, the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction (DAC) (which administers the state prison system), Federally Qualified Health Centers, County Departments of Health, community-based organizations, and local reentry councils. The FIT Program coordinates with existing state and local resources to assist people coming out of incarceration with connections to essential medical services. The program hinges on Community Health Workers (CHWs) who connect eligible clients with chronic disease, mental illness, and/or substance use disorder to appropriate health care services. FIT CHWs also help clients put together comprehensive reentry plans working with local reentry partners and community resources. Similar programs have been successful in other parts of the U.S. and have decreased rates of hospitalization, emergency room use, and even recidivism. We have additional support from a national group that encourages the use of this model, the Transitions Clinic Network.

This position is responsible for providing a wide variety of administrative, research, and program support for the FIT Program. Position responsibilities include calendar and scheduling support, processing invoices, assisting with project budgets and grant reports, assisting with program activities and events, coordinating team communications, and other administrative duties as assigned by the FIT Program Manager to provide seamless administrative support services. Additional duties include support of FIT research activities, including data collection and entry, data cleaning, and assisting with Institutional Review Board (IRB) submissions, among other research related activities.
