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.

It does not involve developing care plans or providing ongoing case management. The position is field-based and requires 70% or more travel within the assigned Massachusetts area.
