In-Home Care Registered Nurse (part time) - Part-time

We are looking for a part-time Registered Nurse to assist our in-home care services in the Greater Portland Area. At this time the position will only average 5 to 10 hours per week. There is however, potential for increased hours in the future when the current RN retires. This could be a great opportunity for a recent graduate, someone returning to the workforce, a parent looking for a flexible work schedule, an experienced RN looking to work fewer hours as a transition to retirement, or someone who simply wants more hours to supplement income. We will work with you to try to accommodate your schedule and would be able to provide anywhere from 5 - 10 hours per week with the possibility of increasing as the client base increases and, depending on your availability. Compensation would be commensurate with skills and experience, but the likely range would be from $25-$35 per hour. We offer Health, Dental and Vision benefits after 6 months. We operate seven days a week, so you might be required to occasionally work on weekends.
