More about First Steps Recovery

Days and nights here center on that inpatient level of care, not a sprawling hospital campus. If you come on as an LVN or LPT, you work under the Medical Operations Manager on a multidisciplinary inpatient medical team that describes its practice as trauma-informed and person-centered. MA and CNA work has been posted on nights as 3/12s; LVN and LPT roles have also appeared as per-diem. Full-time benefits listed include medical, dental, and vision, PTO and sick time, free EAP and legal consults, free life insurance, and a 401K that extends to part-time staff as well. Clovis itself tends toward a quiet, family-oriented rhythm with about a twenty-minute average commute and Fresno amenities a short drive away. One honest gap in the picture: the public snapshot shows 2.8/5 from only six ratings, with about a third willing to recommend, and the few Clovis reviews sit lower still on culture, work-life balance, and management.
