Show full description
Description:
Let’s be honest — nursing is hard work. But who says it can’t also be a place where you feel appreciated, supported, and maybe even laugh a little?
At Helia Healthcare, we’re not just a skilled nursing facility. We’re HOME. That means our residents are treated like family, our staff is backed by a team that actually has their back, and no one is just “a number on the schedule.”
We’re looking for Licensed Practical Nurses who care deeply, show up with a positive attitude, and enjoy being part of a team that works hard and has fun doing it. If you love taking care of people and want to enjoy where you work, keep reading.
What You’ll Be Doing
As an LPN at Helia, you’ll provide practical nursing care under the supervision of a Registered Nurse while helping ensure our residents receive safe, compassionate, high-quality care. You’ll also help guide CNAs, because great care takes a great team.
Provide hands-on nursing care that meets resident needs
Administer medications and treatments as ordered

Requirements:
What We Need From You
A current, valid Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) license
Long-term care, acute care, or geriatric experience (a plus, not a deal-breaker)

Why Helia?
Because here, you’re noticed. Your hard work is appreciated. Your voice matters. And yes — we believe a positive culture makes all the difference for our residents and our staff.
The Fine Print (Still Important!):
Offers of employment are contingent upon a successful background check and drug screen. We want to keep our residents safe, happy, and in good hands—you’re part of that promise.
