Title: Admissions Coordinator Reports to: Central Intake Supervisor Department/Location: Remote FLSA Status: Non-Exempt, Hourly Schedule: Monday-Friday, 8:00-5:00pm MST/PST/EST *Must hold a Bachelors Degree Role Summary: The Admissions Coordinator is a critical member of Guidelight’s Central Intake team and serves as one of the first points of contact for prospective clients and referral partners.
This is a high-volume, front-line role for someone who is comfortable engaging people who may be anxious, ambivalent, emotionally dysregulated, or in crisis while keeping the interaction focused and moving forward. The Admissions Coordinator builds rapport quickly, gathers relevant information, completes structured screening and intake activities, educates clients about Guidelight’s PHP and IOP programs, addresses barriers and objections, verifies benefits, and coordinates the next steps toward care.
The ideal candidate brings strong judgment and clinical curiosity without needing to be clinically credentialed. They ask thoughtful follow-up questions, listen for what may not be explicitly stated, recognize potential risk or fit concerns, and understand when to escalate to the appropriate clinical or operational team rather than attempting to interpret or make clinical determinations. This role combines genuine care with strong sales and operational instincts.
The Admissions Coordinator believes in the value of treatment and can help an ambivalent client take the next step toward care while maintaining clinical appropriateness, ethical standards, and a high-quality client experience. The role is accountable not only for completing tasks, but for owning the outcome—ensuring that clients do not fall through the cracks and that each interaction results in a clear next step or accepted handoff.
