Job description

LPN – Hospice & Palliative Care

Royal Hospice | Portland, OR

Royal Hospice was founded on a simple belief:

Frailty is not the absence of strength, but the invitation to presence.

We are a small, grounded hospice team devoted to integrity in end-of-life care.

We believe every person deserves to be witnessed, not silenced. Honored, not handled. Our work is not rushed. It is not transactional. It is a commitment to presence, clinical discernment, and human dignity.

Position Overview

We are seeking a LPN with experience or strong interest in hospice and palliative care to provide compassionate, patient-centered medical care for individuals at the end of life.

This role blends clinical excellence with relational presence. You will support symptom management, guide complex care decisions, and collaborate closely with an interdisciplinary hospice team to ensure care aligns with each patient’s values and goals.

What You’ll Do

• Provide direct nursing care to hospice patients in homes, assisted living, or facility setting under supervision of the RN case manager and DON
• Perform and document skilled nursing tasks
• Monitor patient condition and report changes promptly to RN case manager
• Collaborate with physicians, RNs, social workers, and chaplains
• Ensure compliance with hospice regulations and documentation standards
• Participate in on-call rotation as assigned

Who You Are

You are both clinically strong and deeply human.

You understand that end-of-life care requires more than medical skill—it requires presence, restraint, and the ability to listen beyond words. You are comfortable navigating complexity, supporting families in distress, and making thoughtful decisions in moments that matter.

You don’t just treat symptoms—you protect dignity.

Qualifications

• Active Licensed Practical Nurse license in Oregon
