Home And Community-Based Services (HCBS) Assessor

Are you inspired by work that helps people maintain access to critical services? Do you find purpose in supporting individuals and families through person-centered care? If so, consider joining our team as a Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Assessor. In this role, you'll conduct annual in-home assessments across the southeast New Mexico region with adults receiving services through the New Mexico Mi Via Waiver. You'll manage a flexible, primarily field-based schedule—visiting participants' homes, completing assessments, and using your home office for follow-up, scheduling, and documentation.

During each visit, you'll build meaningful rapport with participants and their families or caregivers, administer a structured assessment tool using our electronic systems, and gather detailed information about daily living skills, behaviors, and support needs. You'll translate what you observe and hear into accurate, clear documentation that helps ensure individuals maintain access to the community-based services that support their independence and quality of life.

You'll also be part of a growing, collaborative team of assessors with opportunities to learn, develop, and make a real impact every day. This position requires residing in Southeast New Mexico and access to reliable personal transportation to travel to sites across the region.
