Job Description

  • Nurse Case Manager (RN) – Workers' Compensation
  • Locations: Manteca, CA | Stockton, CA | Modesto, CA
  • Salary: $100,000–$130,000 annually + Monthly Bonus
  • Schedule: Flexible Monday–Friday

Are you an experienced RN looking for a rewarding career outside of bedside care? Join a team dedicated to supporting injured employees throughout their recovery while collaborating with physicians, employers, and claims professionals.

As a Nurse Case Manager, you'll coordinate medical care, facilitate communication between all parties, and advocate for injured workers to achieve the best possible outcomes. This is a highly independent, field-based position where you'll build relationships and make a meaningful impact every day.

  • What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out
  • Competitive salary plus monthly bonus potential
  • Flexible Monday–Friday schedule for excellent work-life balance

Comprehensive Benefits Package, Including

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Short- and long-term disability coverage
  • Company-paid life insurance
  • Generous paid time off, paid holidays, floating holiday, and family leave
  • Opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the workers' compensation field

Travel Expectations

This is primarily a field-based role. Once your caseload is established, you can expect to spend approximately 80–85% of your workweek traveling within your assigned territory, meeting with injured workers and co-attending their medical appointments. The remaining time is spent completing documentation, coordinating care, and communicating with providers, employers, and claims professionals.

What You'll Bring

  • Active California RN license
  • ASN required; BSN preferred
  • Background in ICU, ER, Trauma, Orthopedics, Neurology, or other acute care specialties
  • Prior Workers' Compensation Case Management experience preferred
  • Excellent communication, organization, and care coordination skills
  • Reliable transportation and willingness to travel extensively throughout the assigned service area

If you're passionate about patient advocacy, coordinating care, and helping injured workers safely return to health and work, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today to join a team where your expertise makes a lasting impact.
