More about Alcott

The work is framed as harm reduction and trauma-informed: injections, medication administration, health monitoring, pharmacy coordination, med logs with the Program Manager, patient education, and triage when someone needs emergency services. The Bandera LVN role is part-time and on-site at $35–$37 an hour DOE. Other doors include Mental Health Case Manager work with the Office of Diversion and Reentry ($24–$26 an hour) and part-time Residential Aide swing shifts at Bandera ($18.50–$20.50 an hour) helping with medication self-administration, ADLs, and meals.
