with a social services or human services background to join our

team. This is a remote position, where you will partner with people

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. You can learn more about the IRIS program on the

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.

employment, housing, health, safety, community membership,

a routine for the work that you do, no two days are

alike!

documents, completing employee paperwork and the responsible use of

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
