About The Position

Join our residential neuro rehabilitation team as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) or Direct Support Professional (DSP) and make a meaningful difference helping individuals with neurological injuries build independence and get back to the activities that matter most. Whether you're looking for a full-time weekend schedule or another full-time opportunity, there's a bonus waiting for you! Ready for more than the typical CNA role? At Rehab Without Walls, you’ll help patients rebuild independence after neurological injuries— in a home-like residential setting, not a hospital. This is a unique CNA opportunity where care is more personal, flexible, and impactful—and duties are lighter than traditional facility roles. Why This Role Stands Out: * Residential home setting (not hospital or nursing facility) * Lighter CNA workload + more meaningful patient interaction * Support patients recovering from brain injuries, strokes, and complex conditions * Help patients transition from hospital → home → independence * Be part of a collaborative neurorehabilitation team What You’ll Do: * Assist with daily care + life skills development * Support cooking, light housekeeping, and transportation * Participate in community-based activities * Administer medications (with certification)
