Who they are

You would step into community residential nursing with Dungarvin in Austin, supporting people with intellectual or developmental disabilities and complex medical needs through person-centered health care management.

More about Dungarvin

The organization has done this work since 1976 and now operates supports across fifteen states, including IDD, mental health, behavioral, and complex medical services. Day-to-day texture centers on individualized plans in community settings rather than a hospital unit. One RN posting elsewhere in the company describes full-time Monday–Friday hours with on-call and no weekends; that schedule is from Farmington, NM, and is not confirmed for Austin, so you would want to verify local expectations before you commit. Pay figures in hand are not Austin-specific: an RN range of $36–$40 an hour appears on a New Mexico posting, and a Nursing Services Manager role elsewhere lists $64,000 annually. Benefits described on a nursing leadership posting include medical, dental, vision (domestic partners eligible for dental), pet insurance, employer-paid long-term disability and life, supplemental options, and PTO. A 401(k) match up to three percent arrives only after one year. Company-wide reviews sit near 3.1/5, with compensation and benefits among the softer scores—worth weighing beside the mission and the Austin cost-of-living picture (slightly below the national average, no state income tax, compact-license state).

Person-centered community supports for people with intellectual/developmental disabilities, mental health needs, behavioral needs, and complex medical needs; operating since 1976.
