Case Manager (known as “Professional Partner”)


Competitive Pay & Benefits: $43,035 – $47,616 at hire, commensurate with experience and other desired criteria.

Looking for a workplace where employees genuinely enjoy what they do? Region 5 Systems earned 1st place in the large employer category for the 2026 Best Places to Work in Lincoln Awards—apply today and experience the difference.

We offer a hybrid (telework-based) case management position located in Lincoln, Nebraska. This role offers the flexibility of working from your home office; however, candidates should understand that most of the work is conducted in person throughout the communities served by Region 5 Systems in southeast Nebraska. This is an ideal position for professionals who enjoy serving in the community, building relationships, and working directly with individuals while maintaining the convenience of a home-based work environment. Regular travel throughout the service area is required for client-related activities. Employees are expected to attend required in-person meetings, trainings, and other duties at Region 5 Systems’ principal office located at 3600 Union Drive, Lincoln. See the job description (“Work Environment”) for additional details.

This role helps prevent children from becoming state wards, reduces out-of-home placements, decreases involvement with the justice system, supports improved school performance, and helps young adults successfully transition from youth services into the adult behavioral health system.

Congratulations to the following students on Social Work Scholarship awards: Ava Jochum, Kenzie Budke, Jazlynn Bechtold, Alicia Sell, Abigail Chambers, Sabrynn Bogert, Alexia Goree, Jeffery Conjurski and Zane Cunningham. This picture is from the ceremony held last week with some of the students that were able to attend.

We are so proud of Abby!

Moments of grace, encouragement and hope have shaped the way Abby Chambers sees the world and the path she’s chosen within it.

The junior from Norfolk is studying social work with a minor in behavioral and mental health. She was drawn to the field because it aligns with her desire to lift others up and help them feel valued.

“Most people come to see social workers at a low, if not the lowest, point in their lives. These people deserve grace and love. Social workers are there to be a helping hand for people, empowering them to work through difficult situations and helping them see hope for a better future.”
