• Coordinate transitions to inpatient settings or hospice house, providing complete SBAR and medication reports.
• Use disease‑management principles, OASIS knowledge, clinical judgment, and the plan of care to guide after‑hours decision‑making.
• Review after‑hours referrals, assign staff appropriately, and communicate updates to all disciplines and scheduling teams.
• Document all calls, communications, and clinical actions in real time in the patient record and triage log.
• Provide exceptional customer service to patients, families, caregivers, and partners.
• Participate in staff meetings, in‑services, and other agency activities.
• Perform additional duties within scope as assigned.

Who You Are

• A Registered Nurse licensed and in good standing with the New Hampshire Board of Nursing.
• Equipped with at least two years of home health experience and prior triage experience.

• Certified in CPR/BLS and able to meet driving, background, and competency requirements.
• Skilled in communication, patient assessment, and care coordination.
• Comfortable managing complex situations, collaborating across disciplines, and supporting patients and families after hours.
• Preferably experienced in homecare or hospice, with recent triage experience and prior on‑call responsibilities.
• Compassionate, adaptable, and committed to delivering high‑quality, patient‑centered care.
