Job Description
Being a nurse for a workers’ compensation company requires much more than clinical expertise. You also need to search for clues, analyze facts, weigh medical evidence, and collaborate with claims staff to make sure we reach the best possible outcomes.
It’s like being a nurse and detective all rolled into one.
And that’s just for starters. As SAIF’s nurse supervisor, you’ll develop and lead a team of nurse consultants who support claims adjusters, return to work consultants, and other external and internal business partners on the medical aspects of work-related injuries. You’ll balance priorities while building on your team’s strengths and identify opportunities for continuous process improvement. You’ll be a collaborator, strengthening relationships with claims, legal, and external business partners. You’ll be a resource, making sure we adapt as a team and stay on top of the latest research, evidence-based medicine, medical cost trending and treatment guidelines to support best outcomes and support claims decision making.
To do the job well requires broad clinical expertise, as well as building a solid understanding of the legal and regulatory issues involved in claims management. We’re looking for an experienced leader and skilled communicator with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Leader, educator, collaborator, communicator, problem-solver, and medical detective—if you’re ready to combine all of these roles into one challenging new nursing career, please apply today.
