Registered Nurse Care Coach

This is a remote role. CircleLink Health is looking for passionate, tech savvy registered nurses to work remotely and serve patients enrolled in Medicare’s Chronic Care Management Program. In this part time role (about 20-25 hrs. per week), an RN Care Coach will be assigned a group of patients that they will be following and calling each month. In these monthly calls you will provide education, coordinate care, close preventive care gaps, and coach on strategies for self-management to keep them out of the hospital.

This Role Requires Precision, Discipline, and Accountability

The Care Manager role is not a step back from bedside nursing — it’s a step into a more complex, structured, and performance-driven environment. To succeed, you must bring more than clinical knowledge:

✅ Excellent documentation skills — Your charting must be complete, timely, and accurate.

✅ Strong time management — Case tasks must be prioritized and closed on schedule.

✅ Ownership of outcomes — Each case is closely tracked for quality, compliance, and effectiveness.

Expectations are high, and performance is regularly reviewed. This is not a role where details can be missed or timelines pushed — we need professionals who take initiative, stay organized, and consistently deliver.

If you’re ready for a challenging, fast-paced environment where your work is held to high standards and makes a real difference, we encourage you to apply.
