Heartfelt Harmony : Registered Medication Aide

Nurture Independence, Ignite Joy at VMRC!

Join the Pulse of Harrisonburg's Compassionate Senior Sanctuary

As a Registered Medication Aide (RMA) , you'll be the quiet guardian weaving wellness into residents' days—vibrant elders who've danced through decades, now leaning on your steady hand for that extra spark of autonomy. Envision handing a resident their morning meds with a knowing smile, watching their eyes light up as they reclaim a moment of self-reliance. That subtle rhythm? It's the heartbeat of belonging, whispering your name, urging you to step in and stay. Feel the warmth? It's the embrace of impact, pulling you toward a team where your care creates legacies .

What You'll Do : Empower Choices, Foster Everyday Magic

In this rewarding flex role (PRN with at least three shifts / month, including one weekend, or full-time for deeper immersion), you'll blend empathy with expertise to uplift our assisted living neighborhoods. Shifts dance across days, evenings, and nights—flexible enough to fit your life's flow, yet vital sufficient to feel the gratitude in every interaction. Key rhythms include :

Championing resident independence : Guiding self-administration of medications with patience and precision, while offering staff support to ensure seamless, safe delivery—turning routine doses into rituals of respect.

Enriching daily living : Collaborating with our diverse team to assist with personal care, activities, and choices that brighten lives, from morning routines to evening wind-downs in our vibrant community spaces.

Building bonds that last : Engaging residents and families with calm, professional grace—diplomatic in every exchange, intervening independently in routines or emergencies to keep harmony humming.

Thriving in the team symphony : Documenting with care, adapting to shifting priorities, and infusing fun—perhaps leading a lighthearted game night that sparks laughter across generations—while upholding our inclusive, 13-ethnicity tapestry.

Embracing the extras : Participating in holidays and flexible hours, all while maintaining the poise that makes VMRC a haven of peace.

Your presence won't just administer aid, it'll amplify the Anabaptist spirit of peacebuilding, where every pill passed fosters freedom and every smile shared sows seeds of joy.

What We're Looking For : Empathy That Echoes, Resilience That Resonates

We're seeking a care companion who's as adaptable as a valley breeze—ready for flex shifts that weave into your world (weekends included, with premiums to sweeten the deal). Bring your heart and credentials; our training will harmonize the rest.

Ideal harmony includes :

High school diploma or GED, plus a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) license, Direct Care Staff Certificate, or approved Geriatric Nursing Assistant training in Virginia.

Current Medication Administration License (or the drive to obtain it within 90 days via our support); CPR and First Aid certified (or ready to certify within 60 days at VMRC).

Fluent in English for clear communication, with the self-motivation to shine independently—yet thrive collaboratively in our purpose-driven, bias-conscious crew.

A gentle strength : Flexible mindset for changing needs, diplomatic touch in resident relations, and the stamina to act swiftly in any scenario, all wrapped in a positive, inclusive vibe.

The foundations : Fully COVID-19 vaccinated, committed to our drug-free ethos, and passing a clean background check—because trust is the cornerstone of our care.

No advanced nursing degree required; just your innate passion for people and the pull to make moments matter. Opportunities like this? They fill as swiftly as a resident's grateful hug—don't pause on the threshold.
