Workers' Compensation Analyst

Worker's Compensation Analyst

We are building a world-class service center and invite you to join a team of people who are committed to a core objective of supporting life-changing service and providing professional expertise to the leaders of agencies and communities we support.

Pennant Services, Inc. is one of the most dynamic and progressive companies in the rapidly expanding home health, hospice, home care, and assisted living industries. Affiliates of Pennant Services now operate 123 home health, hospice, and home care agencies across 14 states and over 72 senior living communities across seven states, and we expect this growth to continue. These operational entities have no corporate headquarters or traditional management hierarchy. Instead, they operate independently with support from the "Service Center," a world-class service team that provides the centralized clinical, legal, risk management, HR, training, accounting, IT, and other resources necessary to allow on-site leaders and caregivers to focus squarely on day-to-day care and business issues in their agencies.
