Clinical Research Coordinator

Nurse Researcher Assessor/Auditor

The College of Nursing (CON) has contracted with the Cabinet for Health and Family Services Department for Medicaid Services (DMS) to create a team of licensed Registered Nurses that will perform assessments utilizing the Home and Community Based (HCB) waiver assessment tool for the frail and elderly population and physically disabled. This position will identify, develop, and present information educating professional staff, families, and individuals seeking HCB Services while also making sound independent determinations as to the level of care and services needed for this vulnerable population.

The majority of in-home assessments will be based in Jefferson County but you may be asked to complete in-home assessments in surrounding counties. You will receive mileage reimbursement and will be given flexibility when scheduling in-home assessments to meet both your needs and client needs. As a perk we can guarantee NO overtime and you would be expected to only work 40 hours each week. We value work-life balance and want you to have the flexibility you need to do both. As a University of Kentucky employee you will be entitled to amazing health insurance options, employee discounts, and a 200 retirement match! Starting your first day you will annually accrue 3 weeks of paid vacation, 12 sick days, and 10 holidays.

Knowledge of physical and psychological development. Excellent analytical and decision making skills. Ability to communicate effectively and interact with physically disabled and elderly individuals. Ability to travel throughout the state on a regular basis with the ability to travel out-of-state for overnight trips upon occasion.

Experience working with elderly and physically disabled patients and a valid drivers license are highly preferred.
