Job description

We are a home care agency that has been in business since 2007 and in need a California Licensed RN to perform in-home assessments of elderly clients in the Bakersfield, CA region (servicing clients located within a 2 hour radius of Bakersfield, CA). $65/hour Per Diem.

The assessment consists of talking to the client in person at their home - and asking a few questions about their non medical care needs (i.e. Bathing, dressing, grooming, light house cleaning, etc)and filling out a number of health care assessment documents.

The assessments take 30-60 minutes. Travel time is paid from the assessor's home and back at $65/hour. Flexible schedule. Can work anytime from 8am to 8pm Monday through Sunday. Weekends only is acceptable. Great part time job for extra money on the side of your regular job. Experience with assessments required. Will train on the job.

We just started a contract with a large referral source - so there is not a big need right now - but as we get more clients in the program the need will grow. When we have an assignment, we will reach out and you would need to complete the assessment within 3-5 calendar days of getting notified, as this assessment will determine the number of hours the veteran will get approved for care each week.

Must get a TB (Tuberculosis) skin test if not had one recently. You can go to your local County Health Department and walk in to get a skin TB Test. Just provide your ID and tell them it is for employment. It costs $25. You will return 48-72 hours later to have it checked. Here is a list of County Health Departments: https://www.naccho.org/membership/lhd-directory. You can also do this at CVS Minute Clinics. Schedule appt. online at your local CVS. Cost is $75. We reimburse the $75 on your first paycheck - if you keep the receipt: www.minuteclinic.com.
