CNA Hospice Care

Job Description

Job Description

Benefits:

• Company car
• Bonus based on performance
• Training & development

At Royal Hospice, we believe that frailty is not failure—it is a threshold. A slowing down into
something real.  In that slowing, the hands that care matter more than ever.

We are not a system. We are a promise.
We promise not to rush, not to erase, and never to smother.
We validate an elder’s sense of presence.
At Royal Hospice, —we abide.

About You

• You are the kind of person who notices.
• You notice when the pillow isn’t quite right.
• You know how to move someone’s body with respect.
• You know how to fold a blanket like it matters—because it does.
• You don’t fill the silence unless it needs filling.
• You can sit with someone in the middle of the night and not look at the clock.
• You’re not here just to assist.

You’re here to love—with your hands, your steadiness, your presence.

What You Do

• Provide gentle, attentive personal care including bathing, dressing, oral care, and toileting
• Assist with mobility and transfers in ways that preserve dignity and comfort
• Notice and report subtle changes in mood, pain, or breath to the RN team
• Create an environment of peace—adjust lighting, reduce noise, offer warmth
• Sit with patients who may have no family at bedside
• Engage with families and visitors in a calm, respectful, culturally sensitive manner
• Support memory and legacy rituals when requested
• Be a steady presence during moments of confusion, grief, or transition

Requirements

• Current CNA certification in Oregon
• Experience in hospice, elder care, or memory care preferred
• Emotional maturity and a grounded, non-anxious presence
• Ability to remain calm and compassionate in the presence of suffering
• Willingness to receive training in our relational care model, including:
  • Trauma-informed caregiving
  • Nonverbal presence
  • Ritual-based comfort practices
  • What we call “the long stay” being there, fully, even when there’s nothing to do

What We Offer

• A team that values emotional intelligence as much as clinical skills
• Low patient ratios to ensure care can be personal and unhurried
• Training in our philosophy of grace-centered care
• A culture where your tenderness is not only welcome—it’s required
• Flexibility, support, and a shared commitment to dignity at every stage

��️ If you believe that folding a blanket can be an act of grace… you belong with us.
