Description

 

WA Cares Learning System Program Manager

The WA Cares Fund (WCF) is a first-in-the-nation social insurance program, created by the Legislature to provide affordable long-term care insurance coverage to all working Washingtonians. This program is one of the latest examples of why Washington State is a national leader in long-term care policy. Our team is the first point of contact for the program, and we are responsible for helping Washingtonians understand this new benefit.

WCF is seeking a Learning System Program Manager to join our dynamic team within the Aging and Long-Term Support Administration (ALTSA). At ALTSA, we champion choice, independence, and safety for seniors and people with disabilities. Our mission is to provide quality services that empower people to live with dignity and control over their lives.

WCF has hired our core training development team to create learning content for anyone who interacts with our beneficiaries. We need you to manage our learning system as we prepare for implementation and continue to enhance the system as we move into the future. Expect to be very busy laying the foundation for the plans we have worked hard on so far.

Beginning in 2026, WCF will begin allowing qualified people and their authorized representatives to apply for, and to access, their earned benefits. Our WCF staff and partners who also serve our beneficiaries must be trained and ready to go on day one.

This role has statewide scope and will utilize a primarily telework schedule within the state of WA. Occasional travel may be needed to support our training staff and partners or meet in person at our office.
