Hospice Triage & Support LVN

Hospice Triage & Support LVN

Butte Home Health & Hospice is seeking a compassionate, organized Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) to join our Hospice team in a full-time, primarily office-based role.

This position is ideal for an LVN who enjoys hospice care but is also looking for a role focused on phone triage, care coordination, communication, and supporting the clinical team from the office.

Responsibilities include:

• Provide telephone triage for hospice patients and caregivers
• Respond to patient and family calls and help identify clinical needs or changes in condition
• Communicate concerns to the appropriate RN Case Manager or other clinical team member
• Assist with coordinating medications, supplies, equipment, and other patient needs
• Support physicians, pharmacies, facilities, and members of the interdisciplinary Hospice team
• Assist with clinical documentation and other office-based nursing duties
• Help coordinate changes in patient needs and ensure timely follow-up
• Support the field team with day-to-day clinical and operational needs
• Maintain familiarity with hospice policies, procedures, and patient care standards

Office-Based With Field Training

This is a full-time office position, but the LVN will also be trained and maintain competency to perform hospice patient visits.

Although the primary responsibility is office-based, occasional field visits may be needed to support patient care, staffing needs, or changes in patient condition.

Schedule will include weekday office coverage in addition to Saturday.

Qualifications:

• Current California LVN license
• Strong communication and telephone skills
• Excellent organization and follow-through
• Comfortable communicating with patients and families during sensitive situations
• Ability to recognize and appropriately escalate changes in patient condition
• Strong teamwork and collaboration skills
• Hospice, home health, skilled nursing, or other clinical experience preferred
• Valid driver's license and ability to perform patient visits when needed

This position offers a unique opportunity to remain actively involved in hospice nursing while working primarily in a supportive office environment.

If you are an LVN who is compassionate, dependable, organized, and enjoys being the person who helps keep patients, families, and the clinical team connected, we would love to hear from you.
