Registered Nurse, In-Home Health Assessments (Sign-On Bonus)
About The Position
Activate Care is hiring a community-focused Registered Nurse to travel to members’ homes and community settings across Massachusetts to complete in-person health assessments for a managed care health plan’s dually eligible members. The role focuses on conducting timely, accurate assessments, documenting findings, and handing off information to the health plan’s care management team; it does not involve care plan development or ongoing case management. The position is field-based and requires 70% or more travel within the assigned area. The nurse works independently, follows field-safety and mandated-reporting requirements, and complies with HIPAA, NCQA standards, and applicable regulations. Primary hours are daytime slots based on member availability, with optional evening or weekend scheduling depending on shift selection. The posting welcomes full-time and part-time candidates, while current active onboarding is focused on full-time positions. Activate Care’s mission is to improve health equity and outcomes. Its Care Link Community Care Record platform supports coordination between healthcare and community organizations, and its Path Assist program uses Community Health Workers to address health-related social needs.
