More about Waystone Health & Human Services
Your day is assessments, medications, treatments, and showing the DSPs how to do the next thing safely. Some shifts you get in the van and go with someone to an outing or an appointment. The part-time block on the posting is Saturday and Sunday 7am to 9pm in Bradford (28 hours) and Wednesday 3pm to 11pm in Haverhill (8 hours), with one per-diem slot in Haverhill. Cross 25 hours and you can enroll in health, dental, and vision on day one. The list also includes two weeks of vacation, 12 holidays, three personal days, nine sick days, a 401k/Roth with an employer match, an FSA, and a wellness program. LPN pay is posted at $32.00–$38.30 an hour and RN at $33.50–$39.50. Waystone has advertised an $8,000 sign-on for RNs on Instagram; that number is not in the Haverhill and Bradford staff-nurse posting. Tuition reimbursement and CEUs are offered. Merrimack Health and Spectrum Health Systems nearby show higher median hourly rates than the $32 floor in Waystone's own posting.
The work is residential support for people with IDD in Haverhill and Bradford group homes. A DEIB committee hosts monthly events, alongside appreciation events and an employee-of-the-month bonus.
