Job description:
We are seeking a well-qualified RN/LPN for an established position working with an adult male quadriplegic. This position is intended to cover a short-term disability of 3 to 4 months. It’s anticipated opening will be in September but there are part-time per diem hours that are available now. This position should have additional hours after this four-month window with the possibility of full-time work as well.
You will provide direct care for this individual throughout the night in this position. Preferred RN/LPNs will have an established background in hospital work, long-term care facilities, and/or home care work with prior experience working the night/third shift. This position requires this person to remain awake and alert throughout their shift. Qualified RN/LPNs will be reliable, knowledgeable, highly committed to their best practices, and genuinely upbeat and communicative!
The client employs three-night support throughout the week with two of them working three days and another individual working one. The benefit of this is that with three supports there’s an additional person who can be called upon in the event that someone cannot make it in that night for any reason. This is a cooperative role and it is necessary to have a team that is supportive of each other in an effort to provide good and reliable care.
