About The Position

DePaul is seeking a full-time Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Case Manager in Roanoke, Virginia. The position has a 37.5-hour workweek and is eligible for a hybrid arrangement involving both remote work and required on-site attendance. The employee conducts routine follow-up assessments in the homes of individuals receiving care, as defined by DMAS, VDH, and other applicable regulatory agencies. The role requires travel to designated service locations and approximately two to three days of home visits each week; non-travel days are divided between office and remote work. The LPN Case Manager reports directly to the Registered Nurse Case Management Supervisor. The role provides medical-needs support to program staff, checks that personal care attendants and services comply with applicable standards and the individual's plan of care, and conducts observational assessments during 90-day home visits. Assessments may cover health and safety needs, including psychosocial, nutritional, medical, educational, and physical-injury concerns. The employee reports significant events to appropriate parties, participates in staff and supervision meetings, and maintains constructive working relationships with staff, families, providers, and community partners. The position also requires annual and ongoing professional training and maintaining current CPR/First Aid certification. Work is divided among field locations, offices, and remote work. The employee generally works regularly during weekdays, though daily hours vary. The work may involve emotionally difficult situations, varied living environments, frequent interruptions, and changing noise levels. Driving to various locations is required, approximately 40% of the time. Physical activities include walking, sitting, and bending or stooping for up to two-thirds of the time; lifting, pushing, or pulling up to 20 pounds; climbing stairs and ramps; and using equipment requiring finger dexterity and effective sight and hearing. Additional post-offer screenings or records may be required, including driving-record review, drug and alcohol screening, TB documentation, and criminal and child-protective-services background reports.
