About The Position

Health Link Home Health and Hospice has proudly served patients and families throughout the greater San Francisco Bay Area for nearly 20 years. We are committed to providing compassionate, high-quality care while supporting our clinicians with the resources they need to do their best work. As we continue to grow, we are looking for a compassionate, dependable, and experienced Hospice Registered Nurse (RN) to join our team and make a meaningful difference in the lives of our patients and their families. As a Hospice Registered Nurse, you will provide skilled, compassionate nursing care to patients with life-limiting illnesses in the comfort of their homes. You will assess patients' needs, manage symptoms, coordinate care, provide education and emotional support to patients and families, and help ensure comfort and dignity throughout the end-of-life journey. You will work closely with our Hospice Clinical Director and interdisciplinary team, including physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, hospice aides, and our administrative staff, to provide coordinated and individualized patient care. We understand that great hospice nurses should be able to spend their time caring for patients—not getting overwhelmed by administrative tasks. Our experienced back-office and clinical support teams help manage the administrative workload so our field nurses can work efficiently and independently. With company-provided technology, remote charting capabilities, and a responsive office team, you will have the support you need while maintaining flexibility and independence in the field.
