Job description

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 Albuquerque, 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.

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.
