Become an OncoChat Case Scientist · Paid · Part-time · Remote

You know this road. Walk it with someone who’s just starting.

OncoChat tells patients they’ll be guided by people who have been through it. You’re the person that sentence is about. We pair survivors with someone newly facing the same diagnosis — not a nurse, not a call center. You.

Three short steps, about five minutes. Every application gets a reply.

Two women talking warmly on a couch — a survivor and the person she walks with

Your exact experience is the point. Matches are made by diagnosis — your exact subtype with the same subtype, whatever the cancer — because "someone like me" should really mean it.

Real work, treated like real work. Paid, trained, certified, supervised — a role, not volunteering with extra steps.

You're never asked to play doctor. Bright lines around medical advice protect you and the person you guide.

The work

Be the person you needed on day three.

A few hours a week, from home, inside OncoChat. You hold a small number of relationships — people matched to you because you’ve lived what they’re walking into.

Listen, and tell the truth about how it was

The conversations no pamphlet covers — port placement, telling your kids, the week after chemo one.

Help them show up prepared

Questions for the oncologist, what to bring, what to ask again — so no visit is wasted on nerves.

Keep the practical side moving

You work inside their OncoChat — notes, prep, coordination — so everything you do is visible to them and their care team.

Notice when it's bigger than you

Anything clinical goes to a clinical supervisor the same day — one tap, and it's their weight, not yours.

Our promises to you

This work can reopen things. We built the job around that.

You're never alone in it

A clinical supervisor reviews your work and is reachable whenever you need them. Mental-health support — including a step-back option, no questions asked — is part of the role, not a perk.

A small caseload, on purpose

Caseloads are capped by design. You'll hold a few relationships well — never a queue. If it ever feels like a queue, that's our failure, and we fix it.

Trained and certified — paid from day one

Structured, paid training before your first match, and a certification that stays yours. You'll know exactly what's expected — and what never is — before you meet anyone.

Compensated — openly

This is paid work — and we'd rather tell you the numbers in a conversation than bury them in fine print. Compensation is the first thing we cover in your screening call.

The scope of the role

You’ll never be asked to play doctor.

These lines aren’t fine print. They’re why a patient can trust a Case Scientist completely — and why you can do this work without carrying a clinician’s responsibility.

WHAT YOU’LL DO
Share what it was actually like

Your experience, told as your experience — the most valuable thing you have.

Help them ask better questions

Build the visit list together. The oncologist answers; you make sure the question gets asked.

Coordinate and keep things moving

Records chased, appointments prepped, the picture kept current — inside their OncoChat.

Escalate the moment it's clinical

New symptom, medication question, anything urgent → clinical supervisor, same day, one tap.

WHAT YOU’LL NEVER DO
Recommend a treatment

Instead: help write the question their oncologist should answer.

Predict how it will go

Instead: share what helped you live with not knowing.

Advise on doses or medications

Instead: flag it to the care team the same day.

Say "what I would do is…"

Instead: "here's what I asked when it was me."

Every line has a backstop. Training covers each one with real scenarios, your supervisor reviews the hard moments with you, and OncoChat itself helps you notice when a conversation drifts near a line — coaching, not surveillance.

Where this starts

We’re starting small: a first cohort of 10–15 case scientists.

Matched by exact diagnosis, trained together, supervised closely. Every application gets a reply, and next steps begin with a 30-minute conversation — a chance for you to interview us, too.

Still in treatment?

This role is for people who’ve finished active treatment. But if you already know you want to do this someday, tell us — many of the best case scientists start as people we walked with.
