What are the responsibilities and job description for the Nurse Navigator position at Illuminate?
Illuminate is looking for an experienced Nurse Navigator to join our Discovery Services team on a part-time contract basis. In this role, you'll take a 360-degree approach to caring for patients with incidentally identified conditions, with a particular focus on vascular disease, so findings don't fall through the cracks.

If you're a seasoned nurse who wants flexible, meaningful work that directly improves patient outcomes, we'd love to hear from you.
