Certified Nursing Assistant
About The Position
Looking for a CNA role that's different from the typical hospital or nursing home setting? Join our residential neuro rehabilitation team and become part of a home-like environment where you can make a meaningful impact in the lives of individuals recovering from brain injuries and neurological conditions. As a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), you'll do more than provide direct care—you'll help residents build independence, confidence, and life skills while supporting them in their recovery journey. This unique role combines traditional CNA responsibilities with opportunities to assist with medication administration, transportation, meal preparation, community outings, and daily household activities. Working alongside an interdisciplinary team, you'll build lasting relationships with residents and help create a supportive environment focused on dignity, growth, and quality of life. If you're looking for a rewarding career where you can truly get to know the people you serve and be part of their progress every day, we'd love to meet you.
