Registered Nurse (RN) Field Case Manager – Workers' Compensation
Make a Meaningful Impact Outside the Hospital Walls
Are you an independent, clinically strong Registered Nurse looking to trade the hospital corridors for the autonomy of a field-based role? We are seeking a dedicated professional to coordinate medical care and serve as a vital clinical advocate for injured workers, helping them safely navigate their recovery and return to work.
If you thrive on clinical decision-making, autonomy, and seeing your patients' progress firsthand, this is your opportunity to influence health outcomes where it matters most.

On-the-Ground Support: Attend physician appointments with patients to facilitate clear communication and adherence to care plans.

Regulatory Navigation: Stay current on workers' compensation regulations and industry best practices.
Position Requirements
-
Licensure: Active, unrestricted Registered Nurse (RN) license.
-
Language: Bilingual proficiency in Spanish and English is required to effectively support our diverse patient population.
-
Experience: Prior case management experience required (Workers' Compensation or Occupational Health is highly preferred; experience in hospital or rehabilitation settings is a plus).
-
Skills: Strong clinical assessment capabilities and the self-motivation needed to manage a field-based caseload independently.
-
Travel: Comfort with regional field travel. This role covers a local territory within approximately 2 hours of your home (full mileage reimbursement provided based on current IRS rates).
What This Role Offers You
-
High Autonomy: Enjoy flexible, field-based scheduling and independence in your clinical decision-making.

Comprehensive Travel Support: Full mileage reimbursement for all professional travel to medical appointments and stakeholder meetings.
-
Purpose-Driven Culture: Work within a collaborative environment that deeply values your expertise in helping individuals heal and reclaim their lives.
