Job description

Description

Let’s cut to the chase—our residents deserve the best, and that’s exactly why we’re looking for you.

At Bridgemark Healthcare, we know the heartbeat of every great facility is its caregivers. As a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), you’re not just providing care—you’re building trust, creating comfort, and delivering dignity every single day. You’ll be part of a team that believes work should be meaningful, purposeful, and yes, occasionally involve singing badly to 80s music while helping someone get ready for bingo night.

If you’re someone who cares deeply, works hard, and shows up with a smile (even before your first cup of coffee), then welcome home.

What You’ll Do (a.k.a. your superhero duties):

• Provide exceptional, compassionate care with the kind of patience only someone with a heart of gold can offer.
• Help residents with daily living activities like dressing, bathing, meals, and mobility—think of it as supporting someone’s independence with a side of kindness.
• Maintain accurate, timely documentation—because details matter.
• Communicate with your team and leadership about resident needs and changes—you’re the eyes, ears, and sometimes, the favorite storyteller on the floor.
• Ensure our residents’ living spaces stay clean, comfortable, and welcoming.
• Contribute to a positive environment that respects dignity, choice, and good old-fashioned customer service.

The Must-Haves:

• State CNA certification
• A deep love of people and a genuine desire to make their day a little brighter.
• Strong communication skills—you listen well and speak kindly.
• Ability to lift, support, and help others safely (we’ll train you, don’t worry).
• A positive attitude, a good sense of humor, and maybe a few dance moves (optional, but encouraged).

Bonus Points For:

• CPR Certification (if you have it, great! If not, we’ll help you get there.)
• Experience in a long-term care or post-acute setting.
• Knowing all the words to “Sweet Caroline”—not required, but it might win you some serious brownie points.

Why You’ll Love Working Here:

• You’ll be part of a fun, supportive team that values YOU.
• Your work matters—big time. Every task you do makes life better for someone else.
• Growth opportunities and training to help you thrive in your career.
• A workplace that feels more like a family (without the weird holiday drama).
• Oh, and plenty of coffee.

Requirements

What You’ll Need to Bring to the Table (Besides Your Winning Personality):

• A valid CNA certification - you’ve done the work, show it off!
• CPR certification is preferred. If you’ve got it, amazing. If not, we can help you get there—just don’t practice on your lunch break.
• The ability to read, write, and speak English—we love multilingual team members, but we do need to understand each other clearly.
• A background that aligns with state and federal regulatory guidelines—we think you’re awesome, but the law has a say too.

Lifelong Learning (a.k.a. You Never Stop Leveling Up):

• Stay sharp by attending in-services and education programs—we promise, there won’t be a pop quiz... probably.
• Complete your Relias trainings on time—yes, we see you trying to do them at 11:59 PM. Still counts!
• Knock out your 12 hours of annual in-service training to keep your certification current—and your skills polished.
• Keep your CPR certification up to date—because being a hero sometimes comes with paperwork.

The Fine Print (Still Important!):

Offers of employment are contingent upon a successful background check and drug screen. We want to keep our residents safe, happy, and in good hands—you’re part of that promise.

Helia Healthcare, LLC is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are dedicated to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We’re committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. The more inclusive we are, the better we can serve our community.
