Description

Akido is rebuilding the healthcare experience from the ground up. Through early interventions designed around social determinants of health (SDoH), world-class care focused on chronic disease, and human-centered technology, we believe we can build a healthcare model that allows for all patients to live their fullest lives. We are a fast-growing, impact-focused, Y Combinator company created out of the University of Southern California’s D-Health Lab with the idea that empowering government, healthcare, and nonprofit services with population-based data could help usher in a new era of preventive public health. Today we are building a full stack medical network that leverages our predictive capabilities to provide a frictionless experience for both our patients and care providers. The Opportunity We’re hiring an LVN to lead in-field medication administration for Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)—with a focus on long-acting injectables (e.g., buprenorphine and naltrexone) under prescriber orders. You’ll pair excellent nursing fundamentals with clear, timely documentation and tight coordination with providers and Community Health Workers (CHWs) to keep patients engaged and on schedule What you’ll do Administer MAT injections and long acting injectables in the field per standing orders/prescriber direction; monitor for adverse events; document lot, site, and response in real time. Own your day plan: independently plan routes, stack visits, and manage time to maximize completed nursing visits and on-time injections; adjust dynamically as patient needs change. Perform focused nursing visits in street settings: vitals, symptom/side-effect checks, basic wound care, withdrawal/COWS monitoring, vaccination, and patient education. Manage cold chain & supplies (secure transport, temperature logs, inventory, kit readiness, sharps handling/disposal). Coordinate with prescribers, CHWs, and pharmacies to confirm eligibility, arrange deliveries/pickups, and re-engage patients if doses are missed. Document thoroughly in Akido systems (EHR/case-management platform) to maintain continuity across the multidisciplinary team. Promote harm reduction & safety (naloxone education/distribution; escalate per protocol; support transitions of care). Participate in brief huddles/case conferences, contribute to quality improvement, and update protocols for field-based MAT delivery. Other duties as assigned. Who you are Active California LVN license in good standing. BLS required Valid CA driver’s license, reliable insured vehicle, and ability to travel throughout LA County. Organized self-starter who can independently plan your day (routing, timeboxing, contingency plans) to reach as many patients as possible—without sacrificing safety or quality. Comfortable providing direct care outdoors/in non-traditional settings under dynamic, unpredictable conditions; you stay calm and solutions-oriented. Strong communicator with trauma-informed, harm-reduction mindset; collaborative with CHWs, RNs/NPs/PAs, and partners. Fluent documentation skills; you keep charts current and crisp so the team always has the latest picture. Experience (or strong interest) working with CalAIM populations of focus (people experiencing homelessness, adults with SMI/SUD, individuals transitioning from incarceration, and adults with complex medical needs). Spanish bilingual a plus. Benefits Health benefits include medical, dental and vision Paid sick time in accordance in CA law. Accrued paid time off (PTO) Physical Demands: Most work occurs in the field with CalAIM populations; expect substantial walking, standing, driving, and exposure to variable weather. Hourly pay range $31—$39.50 USD Akido Labs, Inc. is an equal opportunity employer, and we encourage qualified applicants of every background, ability, and life experience to contact us about appropriate employment opportunities.
