Clinical CareThe future is full of possibilities. At Banner Health, we’re excited about what the future holds for health care. That’s why we’re changing the industry to make the experience the best it can be. If you’re ready to change lives, we want to hear from you.
Are you a seasoned hospital Case Manager who thrives in complexity, loves solving the unsolvable, and is energized by the challenge of turning the most difficult discharge scenarios into successful outcomes? If so, this is the role you've been waiting for! Join our high-performing acute care team where your expertise, creativity, and critical thinking will take center stage as you manage a focused caseload of 20–25 of the most medically and socially complex patients in the hospital. You'll operate with a high degree of autonomy in a fast-paced environment, working Monday through Friday — no weekends, no holidays — while reporting directly to the Director and collaborating alongside physician leaders and the ACMO. This isn't a role for someone still learning the basics; it's designed for a confident, experienced professional who knows how to navigate multi-layered barriers, influence key stakeholders from bedside to C-suite, and drive discharge plans forward when the path forward isn't clear. As an informal leader, you'll serve as a trusted resource and go-to expert for your peers, making a meaningful impact not just on patients, but on the culture and outcomes of the entire department. If you're ready to bring your best thinking, your boldest ideas, and your passion for complex problem-solving to a role where it truly matters — this Complex Case Management Care Coordination opportunity was built for you.

Care Manager Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a care manager in Arizona?
Most care manager roles in Arizona require either an active Arizona RN license issued by the Arizona State Board of Nursing or a clinical license such as an LCSW issued by the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners, depending on the employer and setting. A bachelor's degree in nursing, social work, or a related health field is typically the minimum. Earning the Certified Case Manager designation from the Commission for Case Manager Certification strengthens your application significantly for competitive roles.
Which companies hire care managers in Arizona?
Employers hiring care managers in Arizona right now include Sunrise Senior Living, Hospice of the Valley (AZ), and Somatus, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Arizona's large managed care and integrated health systems drive consistent year-round hiring, particularly for roles supporting Medicaid and Medicare populations.
Which Arizona cities have the most care manager jobs?
Tucson, Phoenix, and Scottsdale lead Arizona for care manager openings. Phoenix dominates because it is home to major health systems, managed care headquarters, and the largest concentration of AHCCCS-contracted health plans in the state, while Tucson draws hiring from University of Arizona Health Network facilities and regional behavioral health providers, and Scottsdale reflects the strong presence of large insurance and Medicare Advantage operations in the East Valley.
Are there remote care manager jobs in Arizona?
Yes, but they depend heavily on the role type. About 10% of care manager openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, with remote availability most common in telephonic case management, utilization review, and insurance-based care coordination rather than community health or hospital-based positions that require in-person member contact.
How can I get hired as a care manager in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is transitioning from a direct clinical role, such as a medical-surgical nurse, patient care technician, or behavioral health technician, into a care coordinator or case management associate position. Banner Health and UnitedHealth Group run structured new-associate care management programs in Arizona that accept candidates with clinical backgrounds but no formal case management experience. Completing the Certified Case Manager exam eligibility requirements early and gaining familiarity with AHCCCS Medicaid programs makes candidates significantly more competitive for these entry roles.
Where can I find and apply to care manager jobs in Arizona?
You can find and apply to care manager jobs in Arizona on Migrate Mate, which lists current Arizona openings across health systems, managed care plans, and behavioral health organizations. Search the listings, find roles that match your experience and preferred setting, and apply directly to the employers posting them.
