With a Master's in Social Work and licensure as an LCSW, I have over three years of experience coordinating behavioral health care for children and families. I am skilled at developing comprehensive care plans, liaising with providers, and addressing social determinants of health. My ability to build trusting relationships and navigate complex systems will allow me to make a meaningful impact on members' lives. I look forward to contributing to your mission of transforming community health. Copy Sample interview questionsHow would you prioritize care management activities for a high-acuity foster care member with both mental health and substance use needs?I would first assess immediate safety and crisis risk, then coordinate with the treatment team to stabilize acute symptoms. Next, I would review the care plan for gaps, engage the member and family in goal-setting, and refer to community resources to address social determinants. Tell me about a time you managed a complex case involving multiple providers. How did you ensure coordination? I acted as the central communication hub, holding regular interdisciplinary meetings, documenting updates, and following up on action items. I also empowered the family with tools to communicate effectively with providers. How do you handle the emotional challenges of working with children in foster care facing behavioral health issues? I practice self-care and seek supervision when needed. I focus on what I can control and celebrate small wins with the member. Boundaries and reflection help me sustain compassion. With up to 75% travel, how do you maintain efficiency and documentation accuracy? I plan routes based on member locations and cluster visits. I use mobile tools and voice-to-text for documentation, and I reserve time each evening for notes and next-day planning. Why do you want to work at Centene, and how does your clinical background fit this role? I admire Centene's focus on whole-person health and its dedication to underserved populations. My experience with foster care and SUD equips me to deliver the culturally responsive, community-based care this role requires. You could be the one who changes everything for our 28 million members.
