Per-Diem, As Needed | 12-hour shifts | Day & Night Shift opportunities

Banyan Treatment Centers is seeking a skilled and compassionate Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) to join our nursing team on a per-diem basis at our facility in Waelder, TX.

This is a flexible opportunity for a nurse who wants to bring clinical expertise to a small, close-knit team supporting people through substance use recovery and to be part of why quality SUD treatment exists in rural TX.

Banyan Treatment Centers is a leading national provider of intensive treatment for individuals facing substance use and mental health disorders. Backed by TPG’s Rise Fund , Banyan is rapidly expanding access to high-quality, compassionate care.

Waelder and the surrounding communities deserve the same quality of SUD care found in bigger cities. As an LVN here, you'll be part of making that possible — bringing skilled, compassionate treatment right to the community that needs it.

As an LVN, you will:

• Join a mission-driven, Joint Commission–accredited organization with the stability, resources, and reach of a national provider — serving a rural Texas community that counts on us.
• Work with real backup, not just on paper — our Director of Nursing works night shifts when needed and leads by example, so you're never navigating high-acuity moments alone.
• Practice across the full continuum of SUD care — from detox through outpatient levels of care at a facility ASAM-certified at Levels 3.5 and 3.7
• Work within a right-sized, 40 + bed facility where you can build genuine relationships with patients and colleagues, not get lost in a large or impersonal system.
• Work per-diem, as-needed shifts — flexibility to pick up work around your schedule while still doing meaningful clinical work.
• Keep your license current with CEUs that count toward re-licensure and CPR training provided at no cost to you.
• Grow professionally in SUD nursing, building skills in assessment, crisis intervention, and collaborative treatment planning.
• Bring your whole background to the work — whether you come from acute care, detox, or medical-surgical nursing, or bring lived experience with recovery, it's valued here (though not required).
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team committed to high-quality, trauma-informed SUD care.

• Provide routine nursing care at various levels of care
• Identify treatment needs and integrate findings into collaborative, measurable treatment plans
• Complete nursing documentation in accordance with facility and state requirements
• Review medication logs and assist the medical department with a variety of tasks
• Administer medications as directed by the medical provider
• Facilitate medication education for patients
• Collaborate with patients, families, and referral sources on progress updates and post-discharge planning
• Apply clinical judgment in crisis situations, including risk assessments and de-escalation
• Build rapport and trust with patients through strong interpersonal skills

Required:

• Active LVN license in Texas
• Nursing degree/diploma from an accredited school of nursing
• Strong assessment and organizational skills
• Detail-oriented with excellent communication abilities
• Ability to maintain…
