Case Manager Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a case manager in Arizona?
Most case manager roles in Arizona require at minimum a bachelor's degree in social work, psychology, or a related field, and many employers in managed care and behavioral health require a licensed credential. Licensure is issued by the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners, which offers the Licensed Bachelor Social Worker and Licensed Master Social Worker designations depending on your degree level. Candidates pursuing clinical or supervisory roles typically complete supervised practice hours before applying for full licensure.
Which companies hire case managers in Arizona?
Employers hiring case managers in Arizona right now include State of Arizona, Banner Health, and Optum, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Arizona's large managed care organizations and its publicly funded behavioral health network through AHCCCS generate a particularly steady volume of case manager openings across the state.
Which Arizona cities have the most case manager jobs?
Phoenix, Tucson, and Prescott Valley have the most case manager openings in Arizona. Phoenix dominates the market as the state's largest metropolitan area, where major health systems, managed care plans, and state agencies are headquartered, while Tucson draws significant hiring from the University of Arizona Health Network and regional behavioral health contractors serving southern Arizona.
Are there remote case manager jobs in Arizona?
Yes, though only a portion of openings are fully remote, since many case manager roles involve in-person home visits, facility assessments, or direct client contact. About 37% of case manager openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, with the most remote-eligible work concentrated in utilization review, telephonic care management, and insurance-based case coordination roles.
How can I get hired as a case manager in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for case aide, intake coordinator, or care coordinator roles at Arizona community behavioral health agencies or managed care contractors, where on-the-job experience counts toward licensure hours. Banner Health and Mercy Care run new-graduate and associate-level programs that train candidates alongside licensed staff. Completing a field placement with an Arizona AHCCCS-contracted provider during your degree program and earning a Certified Case Manager credential early strengthens your application considerably.
Where can I find and apply to case manager jobs in Arizona?
You can find and apply to case manager jobs in Arizona on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers actively hiring in the state. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your experience and preferred location, and apply directly to each one.
