Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) - On With Life

NEW LOCATION: Join Our Growing Team in Polk City!

Why On With Life?

Our Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) tell us they love working here for the flexible shift options, team spirit, rewarding experiences with persons served, excellent staffing ratios – and of course, the many celebrations and events with persons served throughout the year.  So, if you have a current CNA certificate, and are passionate about providing encouragement, teaching independent living skills and having FUN while doing it, this role is for you!  

A Typical Day:

As a CNA at On With Life, you become part of the journey each person served takes, making memories with them along the way. We are a unique non-traditional long term care program that cares for a variety of ages specializing in brain injury, spinal cord, and neurological conditions. Under licensed nurse supervision and in partnership with other members of the transdisciplinary rehabilitation team, CNAs play a key role in helping our persons served maintain the highest quality of life by providing direct and personalized care, including:

• activities of daily living, including meals, socializing and activities
• range of motion exercises as ordered by therapists
• transfers with and without use of various lifts, as indicated
• identifying and reporting vital information and findings to designated nursing staff
• implementing and performing various levels of cares and safety checks

You First. We Insist.

As a designated Top Workplace for over a decade, we understand the importance of work/life balance! That’s why we offer flexible schedules and shift lengths - from as little as PRN all the way to 40 hours/week – in addition to weekend-only options.

Each part-time and full-time schedule requires a holiday rotation (with special holiday pay) and an every 3rd weekend rotation (if not a weekends-only schedule). Our PRN requirement is 16 hours per 4-week schedule, 4 of which must be on weekends. As part of completing the application, you will be asked to specify the hours you are interested in. IMPORTANT: Please note that our orientation process (typically up to 1 month) may require working days or shifts outside of your permanent schedule.

Competitive Pay and Unique Benefits? Yes Please!

CNA positions start at $16/hour, with our most experienced staff making up to $24/hour. We pay a 9% differential on your hourly rate for all hours worked between 2pm and 10pm, and 11% for all hours worked between 10pm and 6am. We offer annual raises based on budget capacity, and the opportunity for a discretionary bonus at your annual anniversary.

This position is eligible for a 401k match, paid time off, tuition assistance and other benefits depending on total hours worked, such as subsidized health, dental and vision insurance. Please see this link for more details: https://www.onwithlife.org/careers/benefits/.
