POSITION SUMMARY

Law & Policy Consultant: 

MLPB's (mlpb.health) mission is at the forefront of social care innovation and access to justice democratization. The organization helps teams and organizations more effectively connect people to the health-promoting resources and legal protections they seek. MLPB provides law and policy-based training, consultation, and technical assistance to care teams in ways that build their capacity to offer problem-solving support to the people they serve. This work is anchored in MLPB's team-facing legal partnering framework and Unlocking Access capacity-building suite.

MLPB has over 30 partners and collaborators based primarily in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. MLPB partners include health insurers, accountable care organizations/entities (ACOs/AEs), hospitals, public health departments, community health centers and other community organizations. MLPB is also a collaborator on several national research and demonstration projects. MLPB operates under the fiscal sponsorship of TSNE (tsne.org).

RESPONSIBILITIES

The Law & Policy Consultant we recruit will join a passionate, talented team to advance MLPB’s mission. We are looking for a person who can tap general law and policy knowledge and who can train, educate and provide technical assistance to our partners. MLPB’s Law & Policy Consultant will provide capacity-building information to care teams across many domains of health-related social need (HRSN) and social determinants of health (SDOH). Candidates will not provide direct legal representation to individuals, families, communities or organizations; MLPB and its staff do not practice law.

ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS  

Consultation: 

• Join interdisciplinary team meetings to provide general legal information and problem-solving insight across a range of law and policy domains – a kind of legal generalism.

• Respond thoughtfully, efficiently, and creatively to a high volume of care team member questions inspired by patient care – both during and outside of interdisciplinary team meetings.

Training and Education:

• Develop and deliver in-person and web-based trainings that teach workforces about:

  • how law, public policy, and history impact people’s health, well-being and dignity.

  • common obstacles people and populations confront when attempting to access resources and legal protections; and

  • ways care team members can deploy to support people’s problem-solving goals within the boundaries of their professional role.

• Develop and update reference content, including MLPB’s Digital Digest and companion tools.

Quality Assurance & Continuous Quality Improvement:

• Maintain timely documentation of all training and consultation activity on a central project management database.

• Support preparation of regular reports on services and related learning, including trends in barriers to resources and legal protections experienced by people and populations.

• Supervise interns.

• Miscellaneous / general non-profit “pitching in.”

QUALIFICATIONS

We will consider exceptional candidates who demonstrate a strong combination of the specific qualifications and skills described below.

• Juris Doctorate required.
• Licensed and in good standing in Rhode Island (licensed and in good standing in Massachusetts or other states preferred but not required).
• Minimum of 2 years of professionally relevant experience.
• Previous work experience in an interdisciplinary context.
• Comfort in a fast-paced and sometimes unpredictable environment.
• Ability to nimbly translate complex “legalese” into simple and clear communications, both written and verbal.
• Comfort with continuously developing knowledge about unfamiliar topics.
• Demonstrated dedication to anti-racism and diversity-, inclusion-, equity- and trauma-informed practices.
• Demonstrated commitment to contributing to a positive, collegial, and inclusive team environment.
• Successful background check required.

Compensation and Benefits:

Location: Work will be primarily performed within the state of Rhode Island. Location of work is hybrid; staff currently come together one day per week in-person in a downtown Boston office setting and the balance of work time is based in one’s home office. Candidate should be willing and able to travel outside Rhode Island periodically.

Compensation: The salary range for this position is $70,000-$80,000/yr and is commensurate with experience.

Benefits: This position is eligible for a full benefits package including:

• Generous Paid-Time-Off (PTO): 12 paid holidays, 3 weeks vacation, 1 week personal holiday, and sick time for full-time staff.
