Payer Enrollment Specialist, Contractor

Join Cartwheel to help tackle the student mental health crisis. 

Cartwheel is an early-stage company building a new kind of mental health program for kids that puts schools at the center. We see our role as supporting school staff who see kids every single day. Instead of going around them, we collaborate with them. This means: 

• Earlier intervention

If you join Cartwheel, you’ll help make this vision a reality for millions of students across the country.
