Intake Specialist

About Float

Float is the full-stack platform for Specialty Pharma home infusion. We’re on a mission to make healthcare safer, easier, and more efficient by connecting Nurses to home medication visits - moving all care that doesn’t need a hospital to the home.

Float connects nurses with patients so they can get treatments for their chronic conditions in the home rather than going to an overcrowded hospital. Our model benefits all stakeholders - patients get more convenient care, nurses access flexible work for better pay, pharmacies fill more prescriptions, hospitals reduce low-reimbursement admissions, and payors enjoy 12x reduced costs with home-delivered care.

We’re at an inflection point in our growth. We’ve successfully demonstrated multi-state expansion, validated strong unit economics, and boast remarkable retention of patients, nurses, and pharmacies. We’ve facilitated over 85,000 patient visits and are scaling our platform, team, and operations to serve more geographies and patients.

The Role

As an Intake Specialist, you’ll play a key role in our operations and customer success by managing new patient referrals and coordinating timely start-of-care visits. These visits are typically more urgent than routine healthcare appointments, so your ability to act quickly, communicate clearly, and manage details with precision will directly impact patient outcomes and satisfaction.

You’ll serve as a liaison between specialty pharmacies, nurses, and patients—leveraging technology platforms to ensure smooth coordination, timely staffing, and successful care delivery. This is an externally facing role that requires excellent organizational skills, strong attention to detail, and a proactive, solution-oriented mindset.

Customer service is central to this position. As the first point of contact for patients, pharmacies, and nurses, you’ll represent Float Health with empathy, professionalism, and efficiency.
