We are seeking an experienced Registered Nurse (RN) and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES) passionate about remote care delivery. In this role, you will lead diabetes education and management, focusing on medical intervention and acute data management for our members. You will partner with a multidisciplinary care team to ensure members receive expert clinical attention and education to lead healthier lives.

• Support members with medication and insulin interventions to ensure safe and effective diabetes management.
• Deliver empathic, high-touch care that alleviates the emotional burden of managing a chronic disease.
• Collaborate with the broader care team — including RDs and Accountability Coaches — to reinforce clinical goals and SMART goal progression.
• Adhere to Perry Health policies, procedures, and standard operating procedures to ensure ongoing clinical quality and compliance.

• Traits: Creative thinking, an eye for detail, ability to work independently, a positive attitude, and the ability to excel in a fast-paced atmosphere while collaborating with diverse groups at all levels of the organization.
• Language: Spanish-speaking highly preferred.

Contractors are paid on a monthly basis following Net 30 payment terms.

• Clinical Pay: $20.00 per 20-minute clinical encounter. An encounter is defined as a successful call with a member, primarily spent in live conversation, with chart review time also counting toward this total.
  • Example: Clinical encounters are scheduled in 30-minute intervals. Completing two encounters within an hour that each meet the engagement-time requirement pays a total of $40 for that hour.
• Non-Clinical Pay: $30.00/hour flat rate for required meetings and training.

Our patients are our purpose: We understand that the decisions we make have an impact on our patients' health. We are a healthcare company above all else. The choices we make are always in the best interest of our patients.

Bring your best self: The authenticity of our team drives our innovation. We show up for each other and our patients every day. Your teammates will count on you for motivation and support, and you should expect the same in return.

Move fast, but with purpose: Consistent, rapid growth is expected. Set goals, work with purpose, assess, reassess, and pivot when necessary. Perfection should not impede progress. Ego should not prevent reevaluation. Each day will provide opportunities for learning and growth and will move us closer to our goals.

Good ideas come from anywhere: Ideas, good and bad, come from every level of the organization. Employees at all levels are empowered to share their ideas and feedback. The whole of Perry is greater than the sum of its parts. All ideas are considered, and when a decision is made we will move forward together.
