Careers At American River Healthcare

Current job opportunities are posted here as they become available.

Are you a Med‑Surg RN or an RN with diverse experience who wants to deliver high‑acuity care—but outside of the hospital?

Open Shift: Monday - Friday 1530 - 2400 (with rotating weekends)

American River Home Care is hiring experienced Registered Nurses to provide shift‑style in‑home care to patients who need more than just traditional home health. Our Advance Care at Home program brings hospital‑level attention into the comfort and safety of a patient's home.

This is a unique opportunity to practice at the top of your license, build real connections with patients, and help reduce hospital readmissions—all while working 1:1 in the field.

What You'll Do:

• Provide routine and PRN nursing visits—just like on a med‑surg floor, but in a home setting.
• Deliver frequent, hands‑on care (vital signs, wound care, IVs, meds, monitoring, etc.).
• Serve as the clinical lead in managing patient care plans and communicating changes.
• Work shift‑style schedules, including every other weekend.
• Use your critical thinking and assessment skills daily—this is not intermittent home health.
• Build deep relationships with patients and families while improving outcomes.

What We're Looking For:

• Active RN license in California
• Med‑Surg experience is preferred (1–2+ years)
• Home health or hospice experience is a plus, but not required
• Must be comfortable working independently in the field
• Strong communication, adaptability, and problem‑solving skills
• Valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and auto insurance
• Willingness to cover PRN needs and work every other weekend
