Who they are

You are looking at Alcott Center for Mental Health Services, a nonprofit that provides mental health and supportive housing to low-income adults across Los Angeles County. Postings sit in Culver City; the LVN Bandera role is on-site in Watts on the DHS team.

More about Alcott

If you take the LVN path, you give nursing care and service coordination to adults with complex medical and mental health needs—including homelessness and substance use. 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. Glassdoor shows a 3.2 company rating on the listed postings—worth sitting with before you apply.
