This is more than a job—it's an opportunity to shape meaningful daily lives, foster comfort, and partner with families and interdisciplinary teams to enhance residents’ quality of life. In Vermont, you’ll not only deliver compassionate care but also have the chance to unwind in a state celebrated for its natural beauty, from the rolling green hills of the Green Mountains to the shimmering shores of Lake Champlain. Picture autumns painted in gold and crimson, winter vistas that invite cozy evenings, and springs filled with fresh, forest-scented air. Beyond the clinical duties, you’ll experience a region where vibrant communities, local farms, and a strong sense of belonging harmonize with a professional calling to serve older adults with dignity and respect.

Location benefits go beyond the well-regarded care facilities of South Burlington. This area offers a supportive, patient-centered culture, excellent access to continuing education, and a community that values work–life balance. You’ll be part of a setting that appreciates the depth of geriatric care—where teamwork with RNs, physicians, therapists, and social services translates into holistic care plans. Vermont’s proximity to outdoor recreation means you’ll have easy opportunities to enjoy hiking trails, lakeside strolls, and winter activities when shifts permit.

Your core responsibilities include administering medications and treatments per physician orders, conducting routine assessments, monitoring vital signs, and identifying subtle changes in residents’ conditions. You’ll assist with activities of daily living, support care planning in collaboration with the multidisciplinary team, and provide wound care, hygiene, nutrition support, and comfort measures that honor residents’ preferences. Meticulous documentation and timely reporting ensure continuity of care and prompt responses to evolving needs. You’ll play a crucial role in mentoring Certified Nursing Assistants and other care staff, reinforcing best practices, safety protocols, and compassionate communication with residents and families. This role is an excellent avenue for professional growth within geriatrics, with opportunities to deepen skills in assessment, medication management, care coordination, and palliative or restorative nursing approaches as you gain exposure to a broad spectrum of cases.

In recognition of the dedication you bring, the program offers competitive benefits designed to attract and retain great nurses. You may receive a sign-on bonus, along with housing assistance to ease transition into the Vermont area, reducing the logistical strain of a multi-week assignment. There are extension opportunities that let you continue to build on your experience beyond the initial period, supporting your long-term career trajectory. You’ll benefit from comprehensive support that includes a dedicated program team and 24 / 7 assistance while traveling with the company, ensuring you have reliable resources for scheduling questions, clinical guidance, or any on-the-road needs. In addition, you can expect access to orientation, ongoing education, and credentialing support to keep you current and confident in your practice.
