Cleveland Clinic's Center for Connected Care is looking to add a Hospice Aide STNA to their hospice team. Hospice helps patients and their families prepare physically, emotionally, and spiritually for the end of life. This team's focus is on providing comfort, not cure; on family, not just the patient; and on quality of life, not duration. As a Hospice Aide STNA, you will perform basic patient care activities under the supervision of an RN. This is a PRN position that will work as needed in any shift caring for patients where they call come (home, hospital, nursing facilities, and assisted living). This position requires an STNA, so please enter your STNA number on your application.

The ideal future caregiver is someone who:

• Is certified and registered with the State of Ohio Nurse's Aide Registry (STNA).

• Puts their patients first.

• Demonstrates a strong work ethic.

• Thrives in a team environment.

• Provides care with compassion and empathy.

By taking this opportunity, you will make meaningful differences in the lives of both patients and their families.

At Cleveland Clinic, we know what matters most. That's why we treat our caregivers as if they are our own family, and we are always creating ways to be there for you. Here, you'll find that we offer: resources to learn and grow, a fulfilling career for everyone, and comprehensive benefits that invest in your health, your physical and mental well-being and your future. When you join Cleveland Clinic, you'll be part of a supportive caregiver family that will be united in shared values and purpose to fulfill our promise of being the best place to receive care and the best place to work in healthcare.
