HSS Clinical Coordinator RN - Field based in Youngstown, OH Columbiana, Trumbull and Mahoning counties at UnitedHealth Group

At UnitedHealthcare, we're simplifying the health care experience, creating healthier communities and removing barriers to quality care.

The work you do here impacts the lives of millions of people for the better. Come build the health care system of tomorrow, making it more responsive, affordable and equitable.

Ready to make a difference? Join us to start Caring. Connecting. Growing together.

You push yourself to reach higher and go further. Because for you, it's all about ensuring a positive outcome for patients.

In this role, you'll work in the field and coordinate the long-term care needs for patients in the local community. And at every turn, you'll have the support of an elite and dynamic team.

Join UnitedHealth Group and our family of businesses and you will use your diverse knowledge and experience to make health care work better for our patients.

As a Field-Based Community Case Manager, you'll wear many hats, and work in a variety of environments. Sometimes, you'll interact with members leaving the hospital - possibly with new medications or diagnoses.

Or perhaps you'll perform home visits, assisting members with safe, effective transitions from care environments to where they live.

You may also act as an intermediary between providers and members - serving in numerous roles, such as educator, evaluator, service coordinator, community resource researcher and more.

The result? Fewer hospitalizations, ER visits and costly service gaps; and a less stressed, more effective health care system for us all.

Want more flexibility, want more autonomy? Work from your own home and coordinate a visiting schedule that is mutually beneficial to you and the members we serve.
