Job Summary
Do you want a career where you build lasting relationships with the people you partner with? Do you want to make a difference in the lives of people with long-term health care needs? Then TMG wants to hear from you!
We’re currently looking for someone with a social services or human services background to join our team. This is a remote position, where you will partner with people in your community who are enrolled in the Wisconsin IRIS Program and the TMG IRIS Consultant Agency. While your office will be home-based, you will have regularly scheduled visits with IRIS participants in their home and community.
As an IRIS Consultant (IC), you will build relationships with the people you partner with and help them navigate and get the most out of the Wisconsin IRIS program – a Medicaid long-term care option for older adults and people with disabilities. Together, you will identify the long-term care goals of the people enrolled in IRIS, and find creative ways to achieve those goals.
ICs play an important role in helping people of various backgrounds and abilities live the lives that they choose. In fact, people constantly tell us how supportive our ICs are and what a positive impact our ICs have had on their lives! Successful candidates for this position will be compassionate, genuine, resourceful partners with an eye for high quality work, and who are excited to work side-by-side with people enrolled in IRIS.
As an IC, you will connect people to the resources available in their community. You will also help them develop customized IRIS plans for achieving their goals related to employment, housing, health, safety, community membership, transportation, and lasting relationships. While you will have a routine for the work that you do, no two days are alike!
TMG wants to find the best possible candidates, so we created this Realistic Job Preview to provide you with an inside look at the position and our organization. TMG is committed to maintaining a diverse and inclusive workforce and prioritizes helping staff have a good work/life balance. Even though the position is remote, you’ll have lots of support from your TMG team and coworkers across the organization. If this sounds like the job for you, apply today!
KNOWLEDGE/SKILLS/ABILITIES
- Required to meet in person with the IRIS participant a minimum of four times per year, with one required annual visit in the home of the participant. Because IRIS is a self-directed program, it is important for ICs to be available upon the request of the participant.
- Responsible for providing program orientation to new participants. During this time, participants will learn their rights and responsibilities as someone enrolled in the IRIS program, including verifying legal documents, completing employee paperwork and the responsible use of public dollars.
- Explore a broad view of the participant's life, including goals, important relationships, connections with the local community, interest in employment, awareness of the Self-Directed Personal Care option, and back-up support plans.
- Assist participants in identifying personal outcomes and ensure those outcomes are being met on an ongoing basis, all while staying within the participant's IRIS budget and within the requirements of the IRIS program determined by the Department of Health Services (DHS).
- Responsible for documenting all orientation and planning activities within the IRIS data system (WISITs) within 48 business hours of the visit with the participant.
- Research community resources and natural supports that will fit the individual outcomes for each participant and share that information with them as it becomes available.
- Responsible for documenting progress and changes as needed within the plan and the data system anytime a modification is requested by a participant.
- Budget Amendment or One-Time Expense paperwork may be required depending upon factors associated with the participant and their individual IRIS budget.
- Educate participants on how to read and interpret their monthly budget reports to ensure that participants operate within their budget. Being a liaison between the Fiscal Employer Agency and the IRIS Consultant Agency is also a large part of the position, which includes assisting participants with provider billing, seeking support brokers, tracking receipts, ensuring their workers are paid and mitigating areas of potential risk or conflicts of interest.
- Responsible to develop engaged and trusting relationships with participants and communicate program changes and compliance effectively.
- Responsible to maintain confidentiality and HIPAA compliance.
- Work collaboratively with other IRIS Consultant Agency staff in order to ensure a successful implementation of participants' plans.
Attend in-person monthly team meetings with other ICs and their supervisor. In addition, weekly IC and IRIS Consultant Supervisor phone check-ins may occur, along with other duties as assigned.
Required Qualifications
- At least 2 years experience in health care, preferably in care coordination, and at least 1 year of experience serving target groups of the IRIS program (adults with intellectual/physical disabilities or older adults), or equivalent combination of relevant education and experience.
- Bachelor’s degree in a social work, psychology, human services, counseling, nursing, special education, or a closely related field (or four years of commensurate experience if no degree).
- Valid and unrestricted driver's license, reliable transportation, and adequate auto insurance for job related travel requirements unless otherwise required by law.
- Ability to develop positive and effective work relationships with coworkers, clients, participants, providers, regulatory agencies and vendors.
- Ability to work independently with minimal supervision and demonstrate self-motivation.
- Demonstrated knowledge of long-term care programs.
- Familiarity with principles of self-determination.
- Problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.
- Excellent time-management and prioritization skills.
- Ability to focus on multiple projects simultaneously and adapt to change.
- Ability to develop and maintain professional relationships and work through challenging situations.
- Comfortable working within a variety of settings with ability to adjust style as needed to work with diverse populations, various personalities, and personal situations.
- Demonstrated knowledge of community resources.
- Proactive and detail-oriented.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
- Microsoft Office suite/applicable software program(s) proficiency.
To all current Molina employees: If you are interested in applying for this position, please apply through the Internal Job Board.
Molina Healthcare offers a competitive benefits and compensation package. Molina Healthcare is an Equal Opportunity Employer (EOE) M/F/D/V
Pay Range: $19.84 - $38.69 / HOURLY

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Social Work Jobs at Molina Healthcare Jobs
Verify your licensure transfers across states
Molina operates managed care plans in over a dozen states, so your LCSW or LMSW must be valid in the state where the role is based. Confirm reciprocity rules before applying, since licensure delays can stall your start date and filing timeline.
Target care management and utilization review openings
Molina's Social Work hires are concentrated in care coordination, behavioral health, and utilization management rather than direct clinical settings. Framing your resume around case management metrics and member outcomes aligns with the roles they actively recruit for.
Confirm H-1B specialty occupation eligibility early
Social Work qualifies as a specialty occupation under USCIS criteria when the role requires at minimum a bachelor's degree in social work or a directly related field. Get written confirmation from your hiring contact that the specific position is documented this way before accepting an offer.
Ask about PERM timing if you want permanent residency
Molina sponsors EB-2 and EB-3 Green Cards for qualifying roles, but PERM labor certification adds significant lead time. Ask during the offer stage whether the position is eligible and how long the company typically takes to initiate the PERM process after onboarding.
Use OPT and CPT to build Medicaid-specific experience first
Molina's business is almost entirely Medicaid and Medicare managed care. If you're on F-1 OPT, prioritize internships or early roles in managed care or community health settings so your experience maps directly to what Molina's hiring managers evaluate.
Browse open Social Work roles on Migrate Mate
Filtering by sponsorship type and employer is the fastest way to confirm which Molina openings are actively visa-eligible. Use Migrate Mate to surface Social Work positions at Molina that match your visa category before you reach out to their recruiting team.

Find Social Work at Molina Healthcare JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Molina Healthcare sponsor H-1B visas for Social Workers?
Yes, Molina Healthcare sponsors H-1B visas for Social Work roles where the position requires a specialized degree in social work or a directly related field, meeting USCIS specialty occupation standards. Sponsorship is more straightforward for licensed clinical roles, such as positions requiring an LCSW, than for generalist coordinator titles where the degree requirement may be less clearly defined.
Which visa types does Molina Healthcare commonly use for Social Work positions?
Molina sponsors H-1B visas for degreed Social Work roles and supports F-1 OPT and CPT for students completing field placements or early-career positions. For candidates seeking permanent residence, Molina has sponsored EB-2 and EB-3 Green Cards through the PERM labor certification process. TN visas are also an option for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying social work classifications.
What qualifications does Molina Healthcare expect for Social Work roles?
Most Social Work positions at Molina require at minimum a Master of Social Work degree, and licensed clinical roles specifically require an active LCSW or equivalent state license. Experience in managed care, Medicaid populations, care coordination, or behavioral health is consistently prioritized. Bilingual skills, particularly in Spanish, are a meaningful differentiator given the demographics of Molina's member base.
How do I apply for Social Work jobs at Molina Healthcare?
You can browse and apply for Social Work roles at Molina Healthcare directly through their careers portal or through Migrate Mate, which filters open positions by visa sponsorship eligibility so you can confirm a role fits your status before applying. Tailor your application to reflect experience with Medicaid or managed care populations, since those are the populations Molina's care teams serve. If you're on a time-sensitive visa status, flag your timeline early in the recruiter conversation.
How long does the visa sponsorship process typically take for a Social Work hire at Molina?
For H-1B transfers or new cap-exempt filings, USCIS standard processing runs several months, though premium processing can shorten adjudication to around 15 business days. If you're a new graduate relying on OPT, confirm your OPT end date against Molina's anticipated start date before accepting an offer. PERM-based Green Card sponsorship is a multi-year process and is separate from your initial work authorization.
