RN, Supervisor (Home Health Assessments)

Activate Care•Plymouth, MA

About The Position

The RN Supervisor leads a distributed team of RN Assessors who travel to members' homes across Massachusetts to complete in-person health assessments for a managed care health plan's dually eligible members. This is a player-coach leadership role: you own your team's quality, productivity, compliance, and professional development, and you serve as the senior clinical resource for the assessment work. A central part of the role is protecting the health plan's completeness and quality standards by auditing your team's work before it is submitted. Like the assessors you lead, the team's scope is assessment and documentation with a clean handoff to the health plan's care management team, not care plan development or ongoing care management.

Requirements

Active Registered Nurse (RN) or higher licensure (e.g., Nurse Practitioner) in good standing with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Associate of Science in nursing required.
Minimum of 3 years of RN experience, including home health or community-based assessment work.
Prior supervisory, team-lead, or formal mentorship experience.
Strong quality-assurance and audit skills, with the ability to identify trends and coach to them.
Excellent coaching, communication, organizational, and reporting skills.
Comfort documenting and working in an electronic platform via a secure virtual desktop (GuidingCare), and leading a remote, field-based team.
Valid driver's license, personal vehicle, and verifiable insurance are required for field travel.
Experience conducting or auditing assessments (for example UCA, FA, Comprehensive, MDS, or OASIS); assessment-related certification such as RAC-CT is preferred.
Prior experience with dual-eligible populations, Medicaid, or Medicare managed care is preferred.
Must reside within a commutable distance of the assigned Massachusetts territory.
Regular travel for field oversight, ride-alongs, and team support.
Valid driver's license, vehicle, and verifiable insurance are required; employment is conditional on a successful driver's license record check and verified insurance, maintained throughout employment.
Influenza vaccination is required during flu season (October 1 through March 31) as a condition of employment, consistent with the health plan's requirement for staff serving members in the home.
