Per Diem School Nurse

Crossroads School, a program of Crossroads Continuum, is seeking a compassionate and dependable Per Diem School Nurse to join our team supporting students with autism.

We are currently looking for a nurse who can work a regular weekly shift on Thursdays from 7:30 AM3:00 PM. While Thursday is our preferred day, we may be able to offer flexibility for the right candidate based on availability and the needs of our nursing team.

We would also love to find someone who has the flexibility to pick up additional shifts when our other school nurses are out due to planned time off or unexpected absences. This is a great opportunity for a nurse looking for a consistent weekly schedule with the potential for additional per diem hours.

• Supporting students with medical needs such as seizure disorders, asthma, and severe allergies
• Maintaining accurate health and nursing documentation
• Collaborating with our nursing, educational, clinical, and direct-care teams
• Communicating with families and other providers as appropriate
• Supporting student health and safety during local field trips and community activities
• Providing additional coverage for other members of the nursing team when available

About Our Students

Who We're Looking For

• Comfortable supporting students with a variety of medical, communication, sensory, and behavioral needs
• Compassionate, patient, dependable, and able to remain calm in a dynamic school environment
• Able to collaborate effectively as part of an interdisciplinary team
• Ideally available Thursdays from 7:30 AM3:00 PM, with flexibility to pick up additional coverage when possible
