Introduction
As a Licensed Practical Nurse specializing in Long-Term Care, you have a meaningful opportunity to elevate the daily lives of residents through compassionate, skilled care that honors dignity and independence. In Gardendale, Alabama—a welcoming community just a short drive from the vibrant city of Birmingham—you’ll become a trusted anchor for residents, families, and teammates, helping seniors maintain comfort, safety, and meaningful activity each day. This short-term travel assignment begins on 12/01/2025, with a competitive weekly pay of $932-$974 and guaranteed hours of 36 per week, offering a clear path to professional growth within the Long-Term Care specialty. Expect engaging, hands-on responsibilities that challenge you to apply best practices, collaborate with a skilled team, and develop tailored care plans that reflect each resident’s goals and preferences. This role is more than a job—it’s a chance to shape moments of daily living into lasting, positive experiences for those who deserve our best care.

Separately, Alabama’s beauty shines beyond the walls of the facility. From the tranquil shores of the Gulf Coast to the rolling hills and verdant lakes of the north, Alabama offers diverse landscapes and a rich cultural tapestry. Explore Civil Rights landmarks in Birmingham and Montgomery, savor southern hospitality, enjoy outdoor adventures on nearby reservoirs and trails, and discover a state where community and resilience intertwine. Whether you stay in Gardendale or journey to other remarkable locations, you’ll have the chance to experience the warmth, history, and natural charm that define Alabama.

Location Benefits
Gardendale places you in a community known for its friendly neighborhoods, easy access to suburban charm, and proximity to Birmingham’s arts, dining, and professional opportunities. You’ll enjoy a supportive, close-knit work environment where teamwork and communication are valued, with the flexibility that comes from a travel assignment. In addition to the Alabama experience, there is potential to work in various locations across the U.S., expanding your horizons while preserving the stability of a guaranteed schedule. This balance of local community connection and national travel opportunity provides enriching experiences—allowing you to compare facilities, share best practices, and bring fresh perspectives back to your patients. Expect a seamless transition plan, modern facility resources, and a dedicated travel team ready to assist with housing options, orientation, and ongoing coordination so you can focus on what you do best: care with competence and heart.

Role Specifics and Benefits
In this Long-Term Care nursing role, you’ll administer medications, monitor resident status, perform assessments, and participate in care planning with interdisciplinary teams. You’ll support daily living activities, assist with procedures, manage wound care when needed, and ensure safe transfers and mobility support.

The position emphasizes growth within the Long-Term Care specialty, offering opportunities to lead care plan development, mentor new staff, and refine geriatric assessment and evidence-based practices. Expect competitive benefits that recognize your expertise: a bonus structure to reward timely, high-quality care; housing assistance to simplify transitions between assignments; and extension opportunities that allow you to deepen your impact with preferred facilities. You’ll work with a comprehensive support network, including a dedicated travel coordinator and 24/7 on-call support while traveling with the company, ensuring you have assistance whenever you need it. The role also affords ongoing education, access to clinical resources, and opportunities to specialize further in geriatrics, palliative care, or chronic disease management, all while contributing to a culture that values safety, dignity, and patient-centered outcomes.
