Winchester, United States Grafton Integrated Health Network Full time

We get it. You're a night owl. We have plenty of stuff to do at night. You want your days to yourself. No problem. You want flexibility. We can give you three days off (consecutive per week). And we can give you access to overtime when desired.

We also understand that you wouldn't be looking at this job posting unless you felt a calling to ensure that kids are safe, cared for and comfortable. You understand that in healthcare, nighttime is not always just "hours that go by", but "hours that vigilance must be maintained" because stuff happens, regardless if the sun is up or not. You are willing to do what most people can't do.

In the roll of Overnight Living Coach you will be responsible for personally verifying the wellness and safety of each resident on a regular basis. You will be the last person who says "good night' when they head off to bed, and the first person they will see in the morning. You are the consistent and trustworthy adult who is going to keep watch - and many of our residents are quite anxious about nighttime.

Yes, you will write shift notes… but you will be able to do it in a state of the art electronic health record. Yes, you will occasionally deal with challenging behavior… but you will do it using Ukeru, a national best-practice that provides you with a trauma informed foundation that helps you diffuse the drama before it gets out of hand. And you'll do all of this with the guidance of people who have been doing it for a long time. They know stuff that you will find invaluable.

For formality's sake, here is our dry as a bone job description:
