The RN Assessor plays a vital, member-facing role within Camden County, with a primary focus on Camden City and surrounding areas including Pensauken and Cherry Hill. This position is responsible for conducting in-home assessments for individuals requesting services such as Personal Preference Programs (PPP), medical daycare (adult and pediatric), and personal assistance programs.
In this highly autonomous role, the RN Assessor manages their own schedule to meet a required 7-day turnaround for evaluations, completing approximately 14–16 member assessments per week. Assessments are conducted primarily in members’ homes and involve evaluating Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs), including mobility, bathing, toileting, hygiene, meal preparation, and household tasks. These evaluations require both observation and interview-based data collection to determine members’ functional needs and level of support.
The role is approximately 60% field-based and 40% remote, with administrative responsibilities including documentation, authorization completion, provider coordination, and scheduling follow-up visits. Based on assessment outcomes, the RN Assessor may also connect members to case management or long-term support services as appropriate.
This position is ideal for a self-directed, organized RN who is comfortable working independently in the field while maintaining strong clinical judgment and documentation skills.
