Schedule: Full-Time, 32-40 hours per week

Pay: $28.00 per hour

Shift: Day shift (7am-3pm)

About the Role

The Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) at provides essential nursing support to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in a community-based setting. This role focuses on consistency, coordination, and quality care—not hospital-floor stress or revolving-door patients.

You'll work under the direction of an RN while collaborating closely with direct support professionals (2-3 per shift), supervisors, families, and healthcare providers to ensure safe, compassionate, and person-centered care.

What You'll Do

• Provide nursing services to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (approx. 10 people in your care per shift)
• Administer medications and treatments as ordered
• Monitor health status and report changes to the RN and care team
• Assist with implementation of individualized healthcare plans
• Maintain accurate medical records and documentation
• Support medical appointments, follow-ups, and continuity of care
• Educate and guide direct care staff on basic health and medication protocols
• Ensure compliance with NYS regulations and agency policies

Experience We're Looking For

• Active NYS Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) license (required)
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Clear communication and a calm, professional approach
• Experience in IDD, community health, or long-term care is a plus—but not required
• A genuine interest in supporting individuals to live healthy, independent lives

Why Nurses Choose This Role

• Hourly pay with predictable expectations
• No hospital floor, no rotating acute-care chaos
• Community-based care with real relationships
• Supportive, mission-driven team
• Schedules that offer flexibility while still providing stability
