Hospice Triage & Support LVN
Description
Butte Home Health & Hospice is seeking a compassionate, organized Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) to join our Hospice team in a full-time, primarily office-based role.
This position is ideal for an LVN who enjoys hospice care but is also looking for a role focused on phone triage, care coordination, communication, and supporting the clinical team from the office.
What You’ll Do
As our Office LVN, you will serve as an important clinical resource for patients, families, caregivers, and our Hospice team. Responsibilities include:
● Provide telephone triage for hospice patients and caregivers
● Respond to patient and family calls and help identify clinical needs or changes in condition
● Communicate concerns to the appropriate RN Case Manager or other clinical team member
● Assist with coordinating medications, supplies, equipment, and other patient needs
● Support physicians, pharmacies, facilities, and members of the interdisciplinary Hospice team
● Assist with clinical documentation and other office-based nursing duties
● Help coordinate changes in patient needs and ensure timely follow-up
● Support the field team with day-to-day clinical and operational needs
● Maintain familiarity with hospice policies, procedures, and patient care standards
Office-Based — With Field Training
This is a full-time office position, but the LVN will also be trained and maintain competency to perform hospice patient visits.
Although the primary responsibility is office-based, occasional field visits may be needed to support patient care, staffing needs, or changes in patient condition.
Schedule
● Full-time position
● Primarily office-based
● Saturday shift is a requirement (other days may be negotiated)
● Schedule will include weekday office coverage in addition to Saturday
