Are you a CNA but having a tough time finding the right job that fits your schedule? We get it - you have lots of other responsibilities that take up a lot of your day. Some of us are mothers and our kids have hectic schedules - some of us are in school so can only work outside of those hours - or maybe you already have a job and cant find a second job that fits the specific hours you need. Whatever the predicament you have, Preferred Health Care Services has options.

2. Per Diem Facility CNA: No Minimum Hours or Mandates

We are grateful to have contracts with several surrounding short and long-term care facilities throughout Bristol County. Unfortunately, many of these facilities are short-staffed. If you can't commit to a set schedule every week, you can pick and choose your OWN schedule. Look at a calendar of facility needs and pick shifts that fit your schedule. Shifts are: 7:00am-3:00pm, 3:00pm-11:00pm, or 11:00pm-7:00am. If you can only work one shift a month, or want to fill up your week with a variety of shifts, you can do whatever works for you!

Some of our partners include:

• Sacred Heart
• New Bedford Jewish Home
• Fall River Jewish Home
• Marion Manor
