This isn’t just work—it’s an opportunity to influence lives, build resilience, and expand your professional horizon in facilities that value your hands-on expertise and your heart. The position invites you to bring your practical skills to bear in diverse long-term care settings, supporting aging adults with empathy, precision, and a steady presence during shifts that demand both autonomy and teamwork.

The city blends a vibrant cultural scene, historic neighborhoods, and modern amenities, offering a rich quality of life that can enhance your overall well-being on assignment.

Role specifics and benefits come together to form a compelling career step.

Key responsibilities include administering prescribed medications and treatments within scope, monitoring resident status and vital signs, performing wound care and routine procedures, and supporting daily living activities to promote dignity and comfort. You’ll participate in care planning, document assessments and interventions accurately, observe for changes in residents’ conditions, and communicate effectively with the care team to ensure timely, quality responses. This role also invites you to engage in infection control practices, safety protocols, and emergency response measures to uphold the highest standards of resident safety.

Expect competitive benefits that recognize your expertise, including a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and the chance to extend contracts for continued alignment with your career goals. A standout feature is the comprehensive support framework: 24/7 assistance while traveling with the company, real-time guidance from clinical leaders, and a network of peers who share best practices and problem-solving strategies.
