Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced, engaging Registered Nurse (RN) to support a new CNA training pilot program designed to take individuals with no prior medical experience and prepare them to work as competent, confident CNAs in the field.

This role is ideal for a semi-retired RN, RN educator, or nursing student, or someone seeking meaningful part-time work with flexible scheduling. The RN will lead in-person training, skills assessments, and CNA development while collaborating closely with leadership to refine and scale the pilot program over time.

This is a non-medical home care organization (not home health). Services include personal care, companionship, and daily living support-no skilled nursing, wound care, or therapy services.
