Licensed Practical Nurse; LPN - Weekends

Summary

National Capital Treatment & Recovery is a respected nonprofit behavioral health organization with over 60 years of service offering residential and outpatient care for people with substance use disorders. We are currently seeking compassionate and dedicated Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) to join our Adult Men's Residential Treatment Program in Arlington, VA.

Two part-time shifts available: 8am-4pm Fri-Sun every other weekend or 4pm-12am Fri-Sun every other weekend.

Pay: $30-35 an hour with an opportunity to earn more based on experience, degrees, and other relevant qualifications.

The program is a 64-bed residential program that offers medically monitored and clinically managed intensive residential treatment services for adult men with substance use and co‑occurring disorders.
