Case Manager Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a case manager in Georgia?
Becoming a case manager in Georgia typically requires a bachelor's or master's degree in social work, nursing, counseling, or a related field, depending on the setting. Clinical roles in healthcare or behavioral health usually require a Georgia license through the Georgia Composite Board of Professional Counselors or the Georgia State Board of Social Work, while managed care and insurance roles prioritize certification such as the Certified Case Manager credential from the Commission for Case Manager Certification.
Which companies hire case managers in Georgia?
Employers hiring case managers in Georgia right now include State of Georgia, PruittHealth, and Enlyte, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Georgia's concentration of large health systems, state social services agencies, and Medicaid managed care plans means hiring is consistent across both clinical and community settings.
Which Georgia cities have the most case manager jobs?
Atlanta, Rome, and Augusta have the most case manager openings in Georgia. Atlanta dominates because of its density of hospital systems, managed care headquarters, and state agency offices, while Augusta and Savannah generate steady demand through their regional medical centers and community behavioral health providers serving surrounding rural counties.
Are there remote case manager jobs in Georgia?
Yes, though availability depends on specialty. About 38% of case manager openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting the role's mix of in-person community visits and documentation work. Managed care utilization review, insurance case management, and telephonic care coordination are the sub-areas most likely to offer fully remote arrangements in Georgia.
How can I get hired as a case manager in Georgia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is starting as a case management assistant, care coordinator, or social services technician with a Georgia county Department of Family and Children Services office or a behavioral health community service board, where supervisory oversight replaces prior case management experience. Emory Healthcare and Wellstar both recruit new graduates into care coordination training programs. Earning a CCM eligibility-qualifying degree and completing a field placement at a Georgia managed care organization or hospital also gives candidates a credible foundation before their first independent role.
Where can I find and apply to case manager jobs in Georgia?
