If you are a Registered Nurse looking for a refreshing change of pace where you can step away from hospital chaos, build lasting relationships, and make a profound difference in people's daily lives, Mosaic welcomes you!

We are seeking a dedicated, compassionate Registered Nurse (RN) to oversee the health and well-being of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities across our community residential homes in Pontiac and Dwight. Here, you aren't just managing tasks on a floor-you are empowering individuals to live meaningful, healthy lives in warm, home-like environments.

Why You'll Love Nursing with Mosaic:

• True Autonomy & Variety: No two days are the same! Manage your schedule while enjoying independent clinical decision-making without feeling micromanaged.
• Manageable Pacing: Experience a far less overwhelming atmosphere compared to acute hospital or long-term care facilities.
• Deep, Meaningful Relationships: Get to know the people you support on a personal level. Building trust and watching individuals thrive under your care is the most rewarding part of the job.
• You're Never on an Island: Enjoy direct support from a collaborative local team (Area Director, Health Services Assistants) and connect with a strong regional and national network of peer nurses.

What Your Day Looks Like:

As our RN, you will serve as a clinical partner, health advocate, and educator. Your primary focus is person-centered health oversight:

• Health Assessments & Oversight: Perform monthly health assessments, monitor changes in condition, review health records, and follow up on physician orders.
• Collaborative Care: Partner with doctors, specialists, and StationMD virtual care to advocate for optimal health outcomes for each person served.
• Education & Empowerment: Train and empower direct support staff on medication administration, health protocols, and specialized clinical care (such as G-tube management, insulin, and GLP-1 injections).
• Person-Centered Advocacy: Accompany individuals to key medical appointments as needed, ensuring their voices and choices are heard.
• Documentation: Maintain accurate, timely medical notes within the Therap electronic health records (EHR) system.

Work Environment & Schedule:

• Primary Office: Pontiac, IL.
• Community Settings: Supporting small, comfortable residential homes and duplexes in Pontiac and Dwight.
• Hours: Standard daytime schedule (typically 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM, M-F) offering great work-life balance.
• Shared On-Call: 1 week ON / 1 week OFF shared with a peer nurse to field after-hours assessment calls or triage changes in condition. On-call time is compensated at your active hourly rate when responding.

Commitment to Mosaic Values:

At Mosaic, we believe in creating a workplace where everyone has the chance to contribute and succeed. This commitment is not just a policy, it's the way we work. It's good for the workforce, it’s good for Mosaic, and it's the right thing to do.

What We're Looking For:

• Licensure: Active Registered Nurse (RN) license in the State of Illinois.
• Experience: Minimum of 1 year of general nursing experience (community health, home health, or IDD experience is a bonus, but not required!).
• Education: Associate Degree in Nursing (ASN) or Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) preferred.
• Certifications: CPR & First Aid certified (or willingness to obtain). Must obtain Illinois Nurse Trainer (RN-T Rule 116) certification within 6 months of hire training provided.
• Driver's License: Valid Driver's License in good standing.
• Core Strengths: Strong clinical judgment, time management, self-motivation, excellent communication, and a heart for person-centered advocacy.
• Physical Capabilities: Comfortable with active, hands-on care, including frequent standing, walking, and bending; reaching at various levels; and the ability to lift up to 25 lbs, push/pull up to 40 lbs of force, and safely transfer up to 50 lbs.

What's In It for You?

• Robust Benefits: CHOICE Arrangement (Custom Health Option and Individual Care Expense Arrangement). A tax free allowance benefit program in which you select the medical plan that best fits your needs. Additional benefits include life insurance, dental and vision insurance packages.
• Learning: Tax free tuition assistance up to $1000 per plan year.
• Retirement: 403b plan for future planning.
• Work-Life Balance: Generous paid time off which gives you the opportunity to have a work/life balance.
• Real Purpose: The unique opportunity to bring your passion for human services and person centered planning expertise to an organization that changes lives every single day.
