Assisted Home Health & Hospice

The short version

A home health and hospice agency running branches through Thousand Oaks, Northridge, and the San Fernando Valley, where your day is driving between patients' homes rather than walking a unit.

The hard parts

• The posted LVN shiftwork rate is a flat $28.00/hour in Northridge and the San Fernando Valley, with no range to negotiate into, and the two postings we carry both sit at that same number.

• Weekend on-call runs 8am to 8am — a full 24 hours — and weeknight coverage spans 5pm to 8am.

• Benefits require an average of 30 hours a week, so part-time schedules below that don't carry them.

What to ask

• How is base pay set for the role, and which differentials apply?
• Which shifts are open, and what are the weekend, holiday and call rules?
• How long is orientation, and will I have one preceptor?
• What does a usual day’s workload look like?
• Where would I work, and on which unit or team?
