The city

Living in Newport, VT

Newport sits on the southern shore of Lake Memphremagog, just miles from the Canadian border in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom.

Who they are

You would work as a Public Health Nurse I or II (Limited Service) out of the State of Vermont’s Newport District Office. The work centers on immunization: VFC QI visits, vaccine program oversight, ordering and administration, plus community clinics for people with limited access.

More about State of Vermont

You are the local immunization resource for medical practices, schools, childcare providers, and the public. Scheduling is hybrid. You and your supervisor set a mix of in-person and remote time that fits unit needs and State of Vermont policy. The Division of Local Health frames the broader aim—equitable social, economic, and environmental conditions for health and reducing disparities. Vermont is a Nurse Licensure Compact state, so multistate license holders may practice under Board FAQs. The role title is Limited Service, which is worth weighing if you want a permanent classified line.

Division of Local Health works on equitable social, economic, and environmental conditions for health and is committed to reducing health disparities.
