Southern Health Partners is launching a brand-new correctional healthcare program at Worth County Jail, and we're looking for a dedicated Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) to join our team from the beginning.

If you're ready for a nursing role where you can make a meaningful impact, work with greater autonomy, and become part of a team building something new, this is your opportunity.

You'll provide quality patient care in a safe, secure correctional environment while helping establish the strong healthcare standards SHP is known for.

• Providing compassionate nursing care to patients
• Administering medications and treatments as ordered
• Completing patient assessments and documenting care
• Monitoring patient conditions and reporting changes to the appropriate healthcare provider
• Assisting with sick call and ongoing patient healthcare needs
• Collaborating with RNs, providers, and other members of the healthcare team
• Maintaining accurate and timely medical records
• Supporting continuity of care within the correctional healthcare setting
• Working independently while following established clinical protocols and procedures

A Different Kind of 12 Hour Shift

This isn't hospital nursing.

No rotating hospital units. No mandatory floating. One facility. One team.

You'll work a 12-hour rotating schedule at one secure facility, providing consistent care to an underserved population while developing your skills in a unique healthcare environment.

And because this is a new SHP site, you'll have the opportunity to help establish a strong culture of patient care from day one.

• Current and unrestricted LPN/LVN license in the state of Georgia
• Current CPR certification
• Previous nursing experience preferred
• Strong clinical assessment and communication skills
• Ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary healthcare team
• Reliable and dependable attendance
• Ability to work a rotating 12-hour schedule
• Commitment to providing professional, compassionate patient care
• Ability to work effectively within a secure correctional environment

• Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance with Pre-Tax Coverage
• Company-Paid Life Insurance
• Short-Term & Long-Term Disability
• 2 Weeks PTO in Year One, Increasing with Longevity
• 8 Paid Holidays + Birthday Off
• 401(k) after 1 Year
• Bi-Weekly Direct Deposit
• Employee Assistance Program
• Monthly Continuing Education Hours
• Tuition Discounts & Reimbursement
• Professional Liability Coverage
• Referral Bonus
• Paid Bereavement & Jury Duty

For more than 30 years, Southern Health Partners has provided quality healthcare in correctional facilities across the country.

Now, we're bringing that experience to Worth County Jail.

If you're ready to bring your nursing skills to a new team, a new facility, and a role where your work truly matters, we'd love to have you join us.
