About Lin 

Lin is an online, coach-anchored service offering evidence-based behavioral and cognitive approaches for tackling chronic pain. Our mission is to address the pressing need for accessible, affordable, and effective support for the millions of Americans suffering from chronic pain. The company was established by industry veterans who are passionate about helping people maximize their returns on the most important investment they make: their health. Lin is funded by top VC firms in the tech and healthcare space. 

Who we are looking for 

We are looking for health and wellness coaches to join our team. A focus in chronic pain recovery is preferred; however, all Lin coaches receive educational pain neuroscience training as well as practical coaching training. For this hiring round, we are specifically seeking bilingual coaches: fluency in both English and Spanish is essential to support our growing member population.

As a stellar Lin pain recovery coach: 

• You are compassionate, driven, and a team-player. 
• You exude confidence, empathy, and knowledge when interacting with clients and when it comes to people’s health and how their bodies feel, you are especially understanding and helpful. 
• You’re excited to work at a quickly growing startup! This means you’re unafraid of ambiguity and are excited by rapid change and learning. 
• You’re committed to continually deepening your knowledge of pain recovery science and techniques. 

Responsibilities 

• Provide coaching for chronic pain recovery via the Lin Care Platform, chat, phone, and video calls 
• Guide members through the Lin core program 
• Serve as a primary point of contact for Lin members 
• Attend weekly coaching pod meetings 
• Coordinate clinical services if necessary 
• Employ a biopsychosocial approach to chronic pain treatment 
• Support members via video sessions and asynchronous chat 
• Support both Englishspeaking and Spanishspeaking members, adapting communication so care feels accessible and personalized. 
• You will report to one of our Lead Coaches and work one-on-one with members as well as in a multidisciplinary team environment. 

Schedule & Format 

We offer a flexible schedule and the ability to work remotely. This is a part-time, contractor (1099) position. Lin coaches are expected to work approximately 12.5 hours per week with the option to go above that if you demonstrate high-quality care. 

Compensation 

For this role, bilingual Lin coaches earn $35/hour. As our organization evolves, we prioritize our current coaches when new or expanded roles become available. These opportunities may offer adjusted compensation, based on the scope and nature of the responsibilities involved.

Culture 

Our team works hard and plays hard, and we care deeply about what we are building. We move fast, learn fast, and tackle some of the most challenging problems in healthcare by coming together as a team. 

Application and Hiring Process 

1. Create a Lin account and submit a job application 

2. Complete Lin’s free, self-study training course, The Foundations of Pain Recovery Coaching, inside the Lin app. Applicants generally complete the course within one month, spending 10-15 hours per week. The course includes short assessments and reflection exercises. 

3. The Lin team will review your application and reflections. If it seems like you may be a good fit for Lin, you’ll be invited to schedule an interview. 

4. If you are hired post-interview, you will be paid to complete the second part of coach training, which is job-specific. Job-specific training generally takes 2-4 weeks to complete, spending 10-15 hours per week.
