Job description

Job Details Title: Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Location: Groton, MA - specialized residential campus Assignment Type: 13-Week Contract | Placed through Arbor Associates Population: Children and adolescents with complex medical and behavioral needs, under DCF custody Setting: First-of-its-kind medically complex behavioral group home in Massachusetts - 24/7 staffed Available Shifts: Tuesday 3:00 PM – 11:00 PM Saturday 7:00 AM – 3:00 PM Tuesday–Saturday 10:00 PM – 7:00 AM (overnight)

About This Role

Arbor Associates is placing an LPN into a one-of-a-kind residential program in Groton, MA - the first medically complex behavioral group home of its kind in Massachusetts. The program serves children and adolescents who need continuous medical oversight but don't require acute hospitalization - youth who are often difficult to place anywhere else because their medical and behavioral needs are both significant. You'll work alongside behavioral specialists, clinicians, and residential staff on a six-acre campus that also includes a pediatric skilled nursing facility and a Chapter 766 school. This is pediatric nursing with real clinical depth - not a routine group home posting.

What You’ll Do

• Provide direct nursing care and medical oversight for youth with complex co-occurring medical and behavioral needs
• Administer medications, perform treatments, and monitor medical status per individualized care plans
• Respond to medical concerns and behavioral escalations with calm clinical judgment - de-escalation is a core skill here
• Document nursing observations and interventions in compliance with DCF and DEEC standards
• Collaborate with behavioral specialists, clinicians, and residential staff on treatment and safety planning

Reasons to Join

• The only program of its kind in Massachusetts - where pediatric nursing meets behavioral residential care
• Three shift options across days, evenings, and overnight - choose what fits your schedule
• 13-week contract, paid weekly through Arbor Associates, with dedicated support throughout
• Six-acre campus with on-site pediatric nursing, a Chapter 766 school, and a full clinical team
• Medical, dental, vision, STD/LTD/AD&D, and sick time available for qualifying employees
