Registered Nurse Care Manager – Neuro-Oncology

Cancer & Blood Diseases Institute

Shift/Hours: Days | 1.0 FTE (40 hours/week) | Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday | Time 7-5:30
Department: Cancer & Blood Diseases Institute
Patient Population: Pediatric Neuro-Oncology / Brain Tumor

Coordinate Complex Care. Support Families. Make a Lasting Difference.

At Cincinnati Children’s, we come to work with one goal: to make children’s health better. Our Cancer & Blood Diseases Institute provides nationally recognized, comprehensive care for children and adolescents with cancer and complex blood disorders.

We are seeking a compassionate and highly organized Registered Nurse Care Manager to join our Neuro-Oncology team. In this role, you will serve as a trusted clinical resource and care coordinator for children with brain tumors and their families, partnering closely with two Neuro-Oncology physicians and a multidisciplinary team.

This is a longitudinal care management role that follows patients across the continuum—from diagnosis and active treatment through therapy completion, surveillance, and long-term survivorship.

About the Role

You will manage a complex panel of approximately 500 patients, with responsibilities extending well beyond patient volume. The population includes children receiving active treatment, newly diagnosed and relapsed patients, patients receiving radiation or proton therapy, international patients, patients transitioning to hospice, and long-term survivors.

You will help ensure that every patient and family has the appropriate resources, follow-up, education, and coordination needed throughout their care journey.

What You’ll Do

• Manage a complex caseload of approximately 500 pediatric neuro-oncology patients across multiple phases of care.
• Coordinate care for high-acuity patients, including those receiving active chemotherapy, newly diagnosed or relapsed patients, patients receiving radiation/proton therapy, and patients with complex medical and psychosocial needs.
• Serve as a consistent point of contact for patients and families, helping them navigate the healthcare system and understand their individualized plan of care.
• Coordinate care across oncology, neurology, neurosurgery, radiation/proton therapy, supportive care, survivorship, rehabilitation, and community resources.
• Collaborate closely with two Neuro-Oncology physicians and multidisciplinary providers to facilitate timely care and follow-up.
• Monitor treatment plans, diagnostic testing, appointments, referrals, and follow-up needs to identify barriers or potential delays.
• Provide clinical triage, assessment, education, and support to patients and families.
• Identify patients who are overdue for care or difficult to reach and conduct outreach to support re-engagement in care.
• Coordinate transitions between active treatment, surveillance, survivorship, and end-of-life care.
• Support patients and families experiencing complex psychosocial, emotional, and logistical challenges.
• Facilitate communication among providers and ensure important clinical information is shared across the care team.
• Help patients and families access appropriate hospital, community, financial, educational, and supportive resources.
• Maintain accurate and timely documentation of care coordination activities and patient outcomes.
• Advocate for patients and families while helping to ensure safe, equitable, and timely access to care.

Why This Role Matters

Children with brain tumors often require care from numerous specialists and services over an extended period. Effective care coordination is essential to ensuring that treatment, follow-up, supportive care, and survivorship needs do not fall through the cracks.

As a Care Manager, your ability to anticipate needs, connect services, identify barriers, and keep families engaged in care can directly impact the patient experience and clinical outcomes.

You will have the opportunity to build meaningful, long-term relationships with children and families while working alongside experts in pediatric neuro-oncology.
