The assignment begins on 03/09/2026 and spans multiple weeks, guaranteeing 36 hours per week and a competitive weekly pay range of $1,470 to $1,495.
In this essential position, you’ll be at the frontline of resident-centered care, delivering compassionate support that promotes dignity, independence, and comfort for individuals living with chronic needs.
Your clinical expertise will drive precise medication administration, assessment, and timely interventions, while you partner with registered nurses, physicians, therapists, and social workers to implement tailored care plans.
This is more than a shift—it’s an opportunity to shape daily experiences, reduce discomfort, and strengthen families’ peace of mind through consistent, high-quality care.

Nestled on the edge of the greater Albuquerque area, this region provides access to the stunning beauty of the Sandia Mountains, expansive desert vistas, and vibrant southwestern culture.
Enjoy mild winters, sunny days, and abundant outdoor recreation—from hiking and biking to scenic drives that reveal dramatic landscapes and starlit skies.
Beyond the local charm, New Mexico’s unique heritage, art scenes, cuisine, and festivals create an inspiring setting for your work-life balance.
For clinicians who relish variety, this program also provides opportunities to work in other locations across the United States, exposing you to diverse facilities, patient populations, and care models, all while maintaining the ongoing support network you depend on.
