About The Position

All Native Group is seeking a Registered Nurse to review medical clearance examinations and updates, including medical and diagnostic reports, and determine individuals’ medical diagnoses and needs. The role’s primary goal is to deliver accurate and timely clearance reviews and adjudications. The Nurse Consultant uses judgment to assess whether an individual’s medical history, records, and current health profile meet Department policies and regulations. The work involves extensive, sometimes sensitive, communication with government employees and their dependents, other government agencies, and medical consultants. The Nurse Consultant reviews initial and updated clearance submissions, issues post approvals for individuals holding Post-Specific (Class 2) clearances, and evaluates ongoing medical needs against available overseas medical resources. The position applies the nursing process and established ISO guidelines, standards, and procedures to make clearance decisions and document them in eMED. After accepting a clearance case, the Nurse Consultant has seven working days to contact the client or complete a decision if sufficient information is available. Post-approval reviews are to be completed within three working days after all required information is received. The role also involves participation in performance-standard reviews, internal process committees, and staff meetings; providing customer service; and training or orienting new employees. No supervisory responsibility is required. This is a full-time position, typically Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with evening and weekend hours as required by business need. Travel is primarily local during the business day, though some out-of-area and overnight travel may be expected.
