Marshwood Ctr
Mid Level
Step into a meaningful opportunity as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Long-Term Care in Lewiston, Maine. This is more than a job—it’s a chance to shape the daily lives of residents, supporting dignity, comfort, and independence in every shift. You’ll bring clinical skill, compassionate communication, and a steadfast presence to a facility that values skilled care, teamwork, and real connection with residents and their families. Beginning on 01/09/2026, you’ll embark on a multIweek assignment designed to deliver continuity of care, with a guaranteed 40 hours per week. Weekly compensation ranges from $1,681 to $1,716, reflecting your expertise and dedication to patient-centered outcomes. Envision yourself guiding care plans, mentoring CNAs, and collaborating with a dynamic team to elevate the standard of long-term care for aging adults who deserve the best.
The beauty of Maine is never far away. Lewiston sits along the Androscoggin River, offering a welcoming, close-knit community enriched by arts, culture, and outdoor adventures. From tranquil river trails to parks, cozy cafes, and seasonal markets, you’ll have opportunities to unwind and recharge after demanding shifts. And if you’re drawn to additional locales, this role also opens doors to placements across the United States, letting you experience diverse communities, hospital to skilled-nursing environments, and the chance to broaden your professional horizons while continuing to deliver exceptional resident care. The location mix allows you to enjoy the unique advantages of Lewiston’s affordable living, supportive networks, and accessible services, alongside the broader experiences that travel assignments provide—new teams, varied patient populations, and fresh clinical challenges that sharpen your LTC expertise.
Location benefits matter as much as the role itself. Lewiston offers you access to a robust local healthcare ecosystem, a network of long-term care facilities, and opportunities to collaborate with seasoned clinicians who share your commitment to quality care. For those who wish for broader exploration, the assignment structure supports placements in multiple U.S. settings, enabling you to adapt to different care models, regulatory environments, and resident needs. You’ll also benefit from resident-focused environments where multidisciplinary teams coordinate to create comprehensive care plans, emphasize preventive measures, and support families through transitions. The combination of a stable Maine base with the flexibility to travel provides a unique balance of continuity and discovery—an ideal setup for sharpening clinical judgment and enhancing leadership capabilities in long-term care.
Role specifics and benefits. As an LPN in Long-Term Care, you’ll provide hands-on nursing care tailored to the daily realities of aging with chronic conditions, dementia, and mobility challenges. Core responsibilities include administering medications and treatments, monitoring vitals and patient status, assisting with activities of daily living, wound and skin care, mobility assistance, and safety checks. You’ll contribute to accurate, timely documentation, participate in care planning, and collaborate with RNs, physicians, therapists, and social services to align goals with residents’ preferences. Beyond daily care, you’ll influence resident outcomes through proactive problem solving, early detection of changes, and education for residents and families.
This role also offers meaningful pathways for professional growth within the LTC specialty. You’ll have opportunities to advance toward leadership responsibilities, such as serving as a charge nurse or preceptor for new staff, and to pursue specialized training in dementia care, wound management, palliative approaches, and geriatric pharmacology. We provide robust support so you can expand your clinical repertoire while maintaining the highest standards of compassionate care. In addition to professional development, you’ll receive competitive benefits designed to reward your expertise: a sign-on or performance-based bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary lodging, and extension opportunities that let you continue contributing your expertise beyond the initial contract term. A dedicated support framework is in place, including 24/7 assistance for traveling clinicians, onboarding guidance, and ongoing access to resources that help you thrive while you’re on assignment.
Our company values your contribution and your professional growth. We are committed to empowering staff through ongoing education, mentorship, and a culture that prioritizes safety, respect, and advancement. You’ll join a community where your voice matters, your experience is celebrated, and your career path is supported with clear opportunities to grow from frontline caregiver to seasoned LTC professional. We believe a positive, collaborative work environment leads to better resident outcomes, stronger teams, and a more fulfilling career for you.
If you’re ready to make a tangible difference in the lives of residents and to advance your LTC career in a supportive, growth-oriented organization, we want to hear from you. Apply now to join a company that values your clinical skill, your compassion, and your ambition. Begin your Lewiston journey on 01/09/2026, and let us support you with reliable hours, meaningful work, and ongoing professional development that honors the essential role you play in long-term care.
