Registered Nurse (RN) $55/HR

About Us

We are a growing organization that oversees the care for children and adults with intellectual disabilities (Downs Syndrome, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, etc.). Our network currently consists of five ICF care homes. One in Sacramento and four in Merced. Each home is designed to provide person-centered care for just six individuals. This design allows us to ensure true person-centered care.

Your Role

We are searching for an ambitious individual to grow with our organization. This is an ideal position for a person that desires growth as a clinical leader. The nurse would work on the sites 4 days a week and work remotely 1 day a week.

Since starting 3 years ago, we have grown from one to five locations and have plans to continue growing. As we grow in the next few years, the candidate that is chosen for this position will have the chance to become a nurse executive and supervise RNs.

An ideal candidate would be capable of identifying areas of opportunity and creating systems to improve the organization. This candidate would be able to audit care provision at each home and provide direction for improvement to caregivers and LVNs.

The RN will be based in Merced, CA and will be required to visit each Merced home Daily
