What are the responsibilities and job description for the Nurse Consultant position at ACT ADVOCACY INC?
ACT Supported Living Services to adults with developmental disabilities who live in their own homes or share an apartment with a live-in caregiver. ACT's services are not medical in nature, but instead are focused on caregiving/ ADLs. Some clients of ACT have higher medical needs and qualify for hours for a Nurse Consultant. This role provides in-home consultation(reliable transportation is a requirement) for clients and support to staff for basic medical care (medication management, after-care procedures, checking and reviewing vitals). A nurse assessment is generally done once a month per client with follow up visits weekly (the hours available per client are determined by the San Diego Regional Center- some clients have 3 hour per week, while others have 2 per month, all depending on their medical needs). Nurse Consultant provides notes of assessments, examinations, and any developing concerns for ACT staff to follow up with the client's medical providers. The role is not to be the provider for the client, but to help ensure that ACT staff are not missing any developing concerns, are trained to address the concerns present, and provide questions, concerns, or requests for staff to communicate to medical providers. This is a highly part-time position, currently we have 4 clients who receive Nurse Consultant hours, with a total of 22 hours per month. We can be highly flexible for scheduling to accommodate any outside work/ schedule you may have. Mileage for travel is reimbursed.
Salary : $64,000 - $85,500
