Story Behind the Need
- What is the purpose of this team?
- What is driving this need? (ex. Backfill for FTE or CW, new project, business growth)
- Describe the surrounding team (team culture, work environment, etc.) & key projects.
- Do you have any additional upcoming hiring needs, or is this request part of a larger hiring initiative?
The Foster Care Care Management team at Sunflower Health Plan provides required care coordination for children and youth in DCF custody who are enrolled in KanCare. Members in foster care are automatically enrolled in care management and cannot decline services, so the team is responsible for every foster care member in the state.
This is a critical geographic coverage gap. The KanCare contract requires coverage in member’s community throughout the state.
This is a remote, field-based role supporting the Kansas Foster Care team; the candidate reports from the field rather than an office, with travel up to 75% across northwest Kansas counties. Standard schedule is Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., with no weekend work, though occasional evening meetings occur given the school-age population served. Once trained, Care Managers have autonomy over their schedules outside of standing weekly meetings and set their own member visits
We currently have one other position open for a CM within another region of the state. We will continue to hire as backfills are approved or business needs change.
