The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is one of the largest, most complex agencies in the state, and has approximately 17,000 employees. It is responsible for ensuring the health, safety, and well-being of all North Carolinians, providing human service needs for special populations including individuals who are deaf, blind, developmentally disabled, and mentally ill, and helping poor North Carolinians achieve economic independence.

The Nursing Home Surveyor conducts regulatory inspections of nursing homes to determine compliance with federal and state requirements and supports enforcement activities that ensure the safety and quality of resident care.

This role requires frequent travel across Central and Eastern North Carolina, including overnight stays when facilities are located more than 60 miles from the employee’s home base. It operates independently across multiple survey teams based on business needs and may require occasional evening or weekend inspections. The position contributes to statewide licensing and certification efforts by providing accurate, objective assessments of facility practices and resident outcomes.

- Conduct routine nursing home inspections to determine compliance with federal and state regulations.
