About The Position

Mass General Brigham Home Care provides non-acute, medically necessary skilled care in the home to help “homebound” patients recover from illness or injury and manage exacerbations of chronic disease. Services include skilled nursing care (IV drug administration, injections, tube feeding, wound care, care plan education), physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech language pathology, medical social services, and as needed medical supplies. We are seeking a full-time, 40-hour LPN to join the “Paul Revere” team. While most of your time will be spent working in Roxbury, Jamaicia Plain and Dorchester, the entire team also supports Mission Hill, MA. While navigating transportation and parking in the city can be challenging, we will secure city parking passes for new team members to make the commute as convenient and stress-free as possible! Our LPNs do not manage patients, but they work at the top of their license as adjuncts to the RN Case Managers to provide 1on1, complex nursing care and cutting-edge treatments, as well as education and support to patients and their care givers. The desired schedule is Monday through Friday. Anticipated daily volume is 6-7 visits per day plus chart review, visit preparation, documentation, and care coordination. When hiring, we look for candidates who possess not only the relevant experience, skills, and competencies, but also positive attitudes, emotional intelligence, and genuine passion for this work. The ideal candidate profile is a proven, thorough LPN who is confident in their clinical abilities and loves working autonomously. Are you ready to help patients rediscover their strength in their own home? Join our team today! Provide quality nursing care to patients in various settings in the community. Patient care is delivered within MGB Home Care's philosophy, policy, and standards of community health practice. In collaboration with the RN case manager this position will provide skilled nursing visits, utilizing thorough and timely electronic documentation and interdisciplinary communications in accordance with agency policies, procedures and standards of practice.
