During their stay, we provide comprehensive medical care, case management, engaging life skills classes, and essential mental health services.

As a Practical Nurse Specialist, you will deliver the medical care required for the unaccompanied children we serve.

  • Collaborate with the Medical Provider, Case Manager, Clinician, Medical Assistant, and Skills Trainer to coordinate services for each youth
  • Administer and interpret TB tests for youth
  • Ensure compliance with all medical reporting requirements, including government UCPortal and internal electronic medical records

  • Regular hours Monday to Friday with shifts available from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM

Physical Requirements:

  • Proficient in word processing, including email correspondence, document preparation, and familiarity with electronic medical record systems
  • Ability to complete paperwork, including copying, scanning, and faxing documents
  • Must be able to lift up to 50 pounds

Benefits:

  • 160 hours of vacation time; 12 sick days annually
  • 10 holidays, 3 personal days, and medical appointment time
