Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)

Certified Nursing Assistant

A leading regional healthcare provider known for patient-centric care is seeking compassionate Certified Nursing Assistants to join its resident care team. The organization serves older adults across assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, and it values caregivers who build real relationships with residents and their families. Full-time, part-time, and per diem schedules are available across day, evening, and night shifts. This is a chance to join a stable, mission-driven team that invests in training, recognizes great work, and supports growth into medication aide, charge, and nursing roles. Caregivers here are part of a consistent assignment model, which means working with the same residents and getting to know their routines, preferences, and families. Nurse leaders are accessible and hands-on, new team members receive a structured orientation with a preceptor, and staffing is planned so each shift can focus on quality care rather than rushing from task to task.
