The work you'll do is more than just a job.

At the State of Minnesota, employees play a critical role in developing policies, providing essential services, and working to improve the well‑being and quality of life for all Minnesotans. The State of Minnesota is committed to equity and inclusion, and invests in employees by providing benefits, support resources, and training and development opportunities.

THIS POSITION IS BEING REPOSTED. IF YOU PREVIOUSLY APPLIED TO THIS VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT, YOU DO NOT NEED TO REAPPLY TO BE CONSIDERED.

Join a mission‑driven team with the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) where you will use your nursing knowledge and expertise to be part of a team that provides surveillance and evaluation of health care providers to confirm compliance with Federal and State laws and rules related to the provision of nursing and health services.

Working as a Health Facility Evaluator you will:

• Evaluate and conduct audits on health care providers to ensure a level of compliance with state and federal laws and rules.
• Compile information and document conclusions to determine the degree of regulation compliance.
• Make periodic unannounced follow‑up visits to health care providers to assess compliance with previously issued correction orders.

The position will be based out of the Bemidji office location with up to 80% of work time spent onsite performing surveillance of facilities predominately located in the surrounding region of Minnesota. Frequent travel outside of the base region is required for this position, to survey facilities located throughout the state of Minnesota. When not onsite, remaining follow‑up work is performed by teleworking from your home office.

Most work hours are 8‑hour days, and in between 6:00 am - 8:00 pm, Monday
- Friday; candidates must be available for overnight travel and occasional weekends.

The need for weekend/overnight work, or travel outside of the base region is determined by inspection workload. Reimbursement for authorized business travel expenses is provided according to bargaining unit guidelines.

In accordance with HR/LR Policy #1422 Telework, this position is eligible for up to 50% telework for applicants who live in Minnesota or in a bordering state within 50 miles of the assigned work location. The telework policy may exempt employees who live more than 50 miles from their primary work location from the 50% in‑office requirement, depending on job requirements, helping the State of Minnesota access top talent across the state.
