Clackamas County Health, Housing & Human Services is seeking a Limited Term Case Manager to join the Social Services Division, supporting the Oregon Project Independence (OPI) Program including Oregon Project Independence-Medicaid (OPI-M). This is a Limited Term position with an anticipated duration of up to three (3) years.

Oregon Project Independence-Medicaid (OPI-M) and Oregon Project Independence-Classic (OPI-C) serve people who are older adults and people experiencing physical disabilities. The goals of the OPI-C and OPI-M programs are to promote quality of life and independent living among older adults and people with physical disabilities; provide preventative and long-term care services to eligible individuals to reduce the risk for institutionalization and promote self-determination;
