Clinical & Field Placement Site Development Specialist

Alchemy gives employers and institutions the talent, support, and technology they need to deliver career-connected, standards-aligned learning. As a Clinical & Field Placement Site Development Specialist, you’ll grow the network of clinical sites, field agencies, preceptors, and field instructors behind our placements in nursing, nurse practitioner, physician associate, social work (MSW/BSW), counseling, and allied health programs.

Most of this job is outreach and relationship-building. You’ll find organizations that can host students, open conversations with them, qualify them, and turn them into partners who take students term after term. You’ll also work with our placement team to match students into the sites you develop and make sure each placement is documented correctly.

If you like cold outreach, building a network, and getting a hesitant site to say yes, this role is for you.

• Research and build target lists of potential sites by geography, specialty, and population focus. Targets include hospitals, health systems, outpatient and specialty clinics, private practices, FQHCs, behavioral health and community mental health agencies, schools, child welfare and social service organizations, long-term care facilities, and nonprofits.
• Run high-volume outreach by phone, email, and Linked In to reach decision-makers, clinical educators, practice managers, and field education contacts.
• Recruit individual preceptors, field instructors, and task supervisors, including clinicians who have never hosted a student.
• Make the case for hosting students by answering objections about workload, liability, onboarding, and compensation.
• Hit weekly targets for outreach activity, new sites, and new preceptor or supervisor commitments.

• Confirm what each site can offer: student capacity, specialties or practice areas, supervisor credentials and availability, required hours, schedules, and onboarding requirements.
• Check sites against program and accreditation standards (e.g., CCNE/ACEN, ARC-PA, CSWE, CACREP).
• Collect site and supervisor documents, and coordinate affiliation agreements with university partners and the site’s legal or HR contacts.
• Spot sites that can’t support a placement early (for example, no qualified supervision, too few hours, contract barriers, or onboarding obstacles) and move on.

• Act as the main contact for the sites you develop, before, during, and after each placement.
• Check in with sites regularly to keep them happy, fix problems, and secure capacity for future terms.
• Grow existing partners by adding specialties, locations, and preceptors within the same organization.
• Collect feedback from sites and share what you learn with the placement and partnership teams.

• Work with Placement Advisors to match students to sites you’ve developed, based on program requirements, specialty, geography, and supervisor qualifications.
• Present student candidates to sites and coordinate interviews and approvals.
• Join student intake or check-in calls when a site needs extra context.

• Log every outreach, response, and stage of your site pipeline in a CRM.
• Keep site, preceptor, and supervisor records accurate and audit-ready.
• Send leadership a weekly report on outreach volume, pipeline stages, new sites, open capacity, and site gaps by region and specialty.
• Protect student and partner information under FERPA and our partners’ policies.

• Bachelor’s degree
• 2+ years in a role built on outreach: site development, business development, healthcare or provider recruiting,…
