About The Position

At Mass General Brigham, we know exceptional care doesn’t stop at the hospital doors. Our Home Care team delivers advanced clinical expertise, compassion, and innovation directly to patients—helping them recover, regain independence, and manage chronic illness in the comfort of their homes. We’re seeking skilled LPNs who value autonomy, meaningful patient relationships, and practicing at the top of their license. If you’re looking to focus on hands-on clinical care in a supportive, patient-centered environment, this is where your skills can truly make an impact. As an LPN on our Home Care team, you will deliver 1:1 skilled nursing care in the home setting, collaborate closely with RN Case Managers, practice at the top of your license, provide complex clinical treatments and patient education, and support patients recovering from surgery, illness, or chronic disease exacerbations. You will not be managing large patient panels—you will focus on delivering high-quality, direct clinical care that improves outcomes and prevents hospital readmissions.
