Overview

Are you looking to make a difference? Are you interested in disability management? Case Managers at WorkSafeBC help injured workers recover and return to work and quality of life. If you are empathetic and can motivate, listen, and support someone going through a difficult time, this might be a great opportunity for you. You will be the main contact for injured workers, supporting them in their recovery. You will work as part of a greater team that may include a physician, psychologist, and vocational rehabilitation consultant. Together you’ll help explore treatment and recovery plans along with the injured worker and their employer. Your role will be to communicate the plan, offer support, and tap into each individual’s motivation to recover.

We’re looking for client-focused people who can understand and communicate complicated information in a compassionate way to stakeholders with various needs. As a Case Manager, you’ll leverage your passion for helping clients coupled with your ability to influence and make complex decisions. You’ll coordinate services and benefits and facilitate positive recovery and return to work outcomes.

Our Case Managers come from a variety of backgrounds: kinesiology, occupational therapy, nursing, social work, immigration, human resources, insurance, and finance.

How you’ll make a difference: You’ll provide compassionate, supportive service to people injured at work.

Where you’ll work

At WorkSafeBC, we offer a hybrid work model that combines the convenience of working remotely with the dynamism of working in one of our offices, based on the operational needs of the position.

In this role, you’ll work primarily from your B.C. home with some on-site workdays at your assigned office location. You can anticipate a balance of work at home and on-site workdays to support a team-based approach to serve our client group. Success may also include meeting your clients at their workplace. We suggest that you live within a reasonable daily commute of your chosen work location.

We have opportunities available in our Abbotsford, Burnaby, Kamloops, Kelowna, Port Moody, Prince George, Surrey, and Victoria locations.

Apply now for positions scheduled to start with a training class in mid-September, 2023.

What you'll do

  • Independently manage a complex caseload and utilize disability management practices to influence employers, clinicians, providers, internal stakeholders, and workers to facilitate timely, positive return to work outcomes
  • Thoughtfully create comprehensive case management plans that include action plans, goals, and objectives to promote commitment to the achievement of the plans; chair regular team meetings to review progress towards the objectives and goal achievements
  • Partner with internal and external stakeholders, including health care providers, employers, and vocational rehabilitation consultants to develop and implement evidence-based return to work strategies in alignment with the injured worker’s needs
  • Monitor goals, objectives, timeframes, and assignments to team members and service providers, and evaluate the effectiveness of these plans through continuous review
  • Contribute to the development of case management procedures and promote quality initiatives by providing client-centered services through continued improvement in procedures and programs

Is this a good fit for you?

We’re looking for people who can:

  • Show care and compassion while building successful relationships and developing collaborative and effective recovery and return to work plans
  • Lead by facilitating and influencing others to achieve a desired outcome that considers a worker’s individual circumstance
  • Apply law and policy in making decisions about entitlements and rehabilitation measures
  • Organize and prioritize a high-volume workload while dealing with changing and conflicting priorities and deadlines
  • Gather, analyze, and evaluate sufficient critical information
  • Manage a varied and complex caseload with input from your team members on medical, psychological, physical, and financial issues
  • Actively listen, motivate, and clearly explain detailed and complex information verbally and in writing
