Position Summary 

At Intercare, Field Readiness is how we ensure every new hire is prepared to confidently serve children, families, and school partners. The Field Readiness Coach (FRC) is the first point of connection for new hires — serving as their day-to-day guide, coach, and support system from their first day through clearance to the field.

Why This Role Matters 

The Field Readiness Coach shapes a new hire’s first experience at Intercare. 

You are the person who turns uncertainty into confidence — ensuring that every employee steps into the field prepared, supported, and ready to make an impact. 

This role is equal parts coach, facilitator, and mentor. You will work closely with new hires as they move through Intercare Academy, helping them complete coursework, practice skills, build confidence, and demonstrate readiness through mock sessions and assessments. You are responsible for individual success — ensuring each trainee is not only trained, but truly ready. 

We currently have two service lines at Intercare: School Services (in school care) and Behavioral Health (in home or in center care). Each Field Readiness Coach will be aligned to a service line. 

This role will report to the  Manager, Field Readiness.
