Job Description

RN Educator – $45/hr + $5,000 Sign-On Bonus

Love teaching as much as nursing? Crescent Manor is looking for an RN Educator to lead training, orientation and employee health for our whole team. You'll shape how a 90-bed community delivers care, from a new LNA's first day to annual competencies for experienced nurses.

At a Glance

  • Pay: $45 per hour

  • Sign-on bonus: $5,000, paid out over your first year

  • Schedule: full-time, day shift

  • Benefits: full package, including 26 days of PTO in your first year and 401(k) with employer contribution

Why This Role

  • Day-shift schedule – no evenings or nights

  • You build the program: orientation, competencies and in-services

  • Specialized teaching in dementia and Huntington's care

  • A visible leadership role that works closely with the DON, administrator and medical director

What You'll Do

  • Plan and run all education for licensed and unlicensed staff

  • Run new-employee orientation from start to finish

  • Identify required competencies and make sure staff have the training to meet them

  • Track mandatory training: fire safety, infection control, residents' rights, hazard communication, harassment prevention and HIPAA

  • Maintain employee health files, the TB screening program and vaccination tracking

  • Investigate employee injuries and exposures; coordinate with occupational health

  • Round on units to observe care and target training where it's needed

  • Serve as a clinical resource and support quality improvement

What You Need

  • Active Vermont RN license and current CPR certification

  • At least 3 years of long-term care experience; dementia and Huntington's experience preferred

  • Staff education experience (1+ year) and supervisory experience (2+ years) preferred

  • Strong presentation, organization and communication skills

  • COVID-19 vaccination (required for all new hires)

Benefits (32+ Hours per Week)

  • Paid from your first day, including orientation

  • Medical insurance

  • Dental and vision insurance

  • 401(k) with employer contribution (details provided at hire)

  • Early pay access – get your earned pay before the payroll period ends

  • 26 days of paid time off in your first year (prorated for 32-hour schedules)

  • Interest-free employee loan program

  • $2/hr shift differential for evenings, nights and weekends

Working under 32 hours a week? You still get early pay access, the interest-free employee loan program and shift differentials. Insurance benefits start at 32 hours.

We provide short-term rehab with on-site physical, occupational and speech therapy, long-term care, a 40-bed Dementia Special Care Unit and a 22-bed Huntington's Disease Special Care Unit. We're big enough to offer real benefits and room to grow – we promote from within – and small enough that our Administrator and Director of Nursing truly back their people.
