About this role
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.
