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 and conduct in-person health assessments for a managed care health plan’s dually eligible members. The position focuses on completing timely, accurate assessments and documenting findings for handoff to the health plan’s care management team; it does not involve developing care plans or providing ongoing case management. The role is mobile and field-based, with 70% or more travel in the assigned Massachusetts area. Primary hours fall during daytime slots based on member availability, with optional evening or weekend scheduling depending on shift selection. Field visits may involve varied residential environments, changing weather, and extended periods of sitting, standing, or driving. Annual influenza vaccination during flu season is required under the health plan policy, subject to applicable accommodation provisions. The posting welcomes both full-time and part-time candidates, though active onboarding is focused on full-time positions. Candidates who complete the interview process and accept an offer by November 30 are eligible for a $2,000 sign-on bonus upon successful hire and onboarding.
