Commitment To Inclusive Excellence

At VMRC, we identify a 'cultural fit' as a community member demonstrating our shared values and commitment to fostering an inclusive, purpose-driven workplace. We seek candidates who align with our service, justice, peacebuilding, and stewardship values while bringing diverse perspectives that enrich our collective work.

We assess candidates through structured, bias-conscious interview questions that explore how you have lived these values in your professional and personal experiences.

Who is VMRC?

VMRC is a Christ-centered, nonprofit continuing care retirement community offering independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care for older adults. It also provides wellness programs, educational opportunities, and arts and cultural activities for residents and the wider community.

POSITION SUMMARY:

Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)

$15.50 - $20.15 (with CNA license) or $13.25 - $16.78 ( without certification)

As a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), you'll be the tender thread in their tapestry, uplifting elders—enduring explorers who've illuminated paths for generations, with acts of kindness that kindle independence and delight. Picture steadying a hand during a morning stroll, their laughter blooming like valley wildflowers, a shared glance affirming your irreplaceable role. That soft undercurrent? It's the whisper of wholeness, subtly drawing you into a circle where your touch transforms trials into triumphs. Detect the gentle tug? It's the timeless tie of purpose, coaxing you to claim your place here, where assistance awakens ease and enduring enchantment.

What You'll Do: Infuse Care with Heart, Illuminate Everyday Grace

In this versatile full-time, part-time, or FLEX role (with every-other-weekend flow and shifts spanning days, evenings, and nights), you'll weave into our nursing teams across skilled nursing, assisted living, and memory care, merging hands-on help with heartfelt harmony to elevate resident rhythms. Options like three 12-hour shifts for part-time or FLEX minimums of two per month craft cadence with your own life's lullaby.

Elevating essentials: Assist with activities of daily living—bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and mobility transfers—to foster dignity and delight in every dawn.

Monitoring with mindfulness: Taking vital signs, reporting changes to RNs/LPNs, and supporting treatments like simple wound care or feeding, ensuring safety and serenity in our vibrant venues.

Sparking connections: Engaging residents in light recreation, meals, and social sparks—perhaps a shared story hour that stirs smiles—while documenting observations in electronic records with quiet precision.

Teaming tenderly : Collaborating with interdisciplinary allies to execute care plans, respond to call lights with calm efficiency, and adapt to fluid needs, from emergency aids to restorative routines.

Honoring our heartbeat: Upholding hygiene, infection control, and evacuation protocols, all laced with empathy in our diverse, 14-language, 13-ethnicity chorus.

Your attentiveness will not just help, it will amplify the peace our principles prize, turning tasks into treasures that touch eternity.

What We're Looking For: Warmth That Welcomes, Strength That Sustains

We're welcoming a care companion as approachable as a Shenandoah sunrise—geared for shifts that align with your aura (evenings and nights with $2/hour premiums to ease the glow). Your certification sets the stage; our thorough orientation tunes the tempo. Radiant recruits reveal:

Valid Virginia CNA certification (or willingness to obtain via our Nurse Aide Program ), CPR/First Aid readiness (certifiable within 60 days), and full COVID-19 vaccination, with 6+ months in senior care a gentle plus (newly certified souls shine brightly).

Skills in: ADLs, vitals, and transfers—paired with the resilience to lift up to 50 lbs., kneel, bend, and roam our rolling grounds with enduring energy.

Empathetic ears for resident tales, clear communication to connect teams and kin, and a flexible, positive pulse that pulses in our inclusive, mission-moved medley.

Spotless background , drug-free devotion, and English ease for effortless exchanges—sparked by a sincere affinity for elders that makes every moment meaningful.
