* Partner with physicians, specialists, and physical therapists to establish, monitor, and progress realistic recovery goals.

* Conduct comprehensive clinical assessments to identify potential barriers to recovery and implement proactive solutions.

* Maintain timely, high-quality documentation and serve as the central liaison between the medical team, employer, and insurance adjusters.

Experience: Minimum of 3 years of clinical nursing experience (acute care, orthopedics, occupational health, or rehabilitation background is highly valued).

Skills: Strong organizational skills, excellent verbal/written communication, and the ability to work independently in the field.

A streamlined, collaborative environment where your time and expertise are respected.
