CASE MANAGER – Make Every Detail Count in a Child’s Future

What if your attention to detail, clinical coordination skills, and compassion could directly change the trajectory of a young person’s life?

At KVC, case management is not paperwork. It is the backbone of care. It is the bridge between families and clinicians. It is the structure that ensures vulnerable youth and families receive the right services, at the right time, without gaps.

Our team doesn’t just talk about culture—we measure it.
KVC’s Work Wellbeing Score on Indeed: 83

That score reflects what our employees experience every day: purpose-driven work, collaborative leadership, and a culture rooted in compassion and accountability.
