Your Role

Join our collaborative nursing team supporting individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) in group homes and host homes.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct annual nursing assessments, quarterly reviews, and monthly visits for individuals on your assigned caseload.

• Travel to residential locations using your personal vehicle (mileage reimbursement provided).
• Participate in a rotating after-hours on-call schedule shared between two full-time RNs. Rotation arrangements will be coordinated between the nurses. On-call needs are typically low-volume and primarily involve telephone guidance, with occasional in-person responses.

Why Join Us

• Primarily Monday–Friday schedule, approximately 8:00 AM–5:00 PM, with occasional flexibility needed to address healthcare matters outside standard hours.
• Mileage reimbursement for work-related travel.
• Competitive benefits for employees working 32+ hours, including medical, dental, vision, life, disability, 401(k) with a 3% company match, HSA, and FSA.
