Description

Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)

At Fello, we champion the rights of people with disabilities and invest in what matters most: real opportunities, strong relationships, and inclusive, equitable communities. We partner with people with disabilities to provide support services, develop inclusive housing, and create spaces where people feel genuinely connected—not just accommodated.

The Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) provides person-centered nursing care to people living in an assigned group home, under the guidance of the Nurse Case Manager/Delegating Nurse (RN). The LPN works with the Regional Manager and Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) to promote independence and community inclusion for people served. Responsibilities include delivering care aligned with each person's Nursing Care Plan and Individual Plan, supporting Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), coordinating medical appointments and immunizations, and maintaining health documentation in iCM and other electronic systems. The LPN must meet DSP qualifications and complete all required training. This is an essential position, and staff may not leave their shift until appropriate coverage has arrived.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate is self-motivated, creative, and innovative in providing community integration and support services. They are a team player who responds to change or crisis in a calm and productive manner and who can respectfully support the varied needs of persons served. They build self-esteem and confidence through positive interactions and trusting relationships. They communicate in a timely, professional manner with persons served, their families, coworkers, and other stakeholders. They also have knowledge of databases and electronic medical records and are committed to learning about health services for people with disabilities.

This position requires a current Maryland LPN license issued by the Maryland Board of Nursing and at least one year of experience providing nursing services for people with disabilities. Candidates must have a valid Maryland driver's license with no more than two points. They must also be able to complete all required Fello and Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) trainings.

This position is part-time or full-time, based in an assigned group home, with a work schedule that varies based on the needs of persons served. Schedules are flexible and include on-call hours. This position involves limited travel, including regular trips to the Severn campus for meetings and trainings. This position is not eligible for telework.
