We stand up for those who can't speak for themselves. We are a family who values innovation, empathy, patience, understanding and trustworthiness.
About our Children's Shelters
Many children begin life in the face of serious challenges. Instead of playing pretend and imagining grand adventures, unaccompanied children face perilous conditions alone as they travel to unfamiliar countries, leaving home and loved ones behind to escape war and violence. Our children's centers, operated through a grant from the Office of Refugee and Resettlement (ORR), provide safety, stability and wraparound services. We help children grow into adults who have received love and kindness, instead of only violence and chaos.
What You'll Do
The Medical Care, LVN is responsible for assisting with nursing services for Unaccompanied children (UC) in the Office of Refugee and Resettlement facility. Responsible to assist with the assessment, intake, and daily medical needs of the children during their stay at the facility. This position ensures adherence to Upbring policies, ORR standards, federal, state, and local regulatory requirements.
Our Upbring staff members are servant-leaders in the pursuit of breaking the cycle of child abuse and empowering others to do the same through example while embodying our core values: We are Warriors. We are Servants. We are Family.
All Upbring Children's Shelters employees must comply with ORR's vaccination mandate.
All staff must be able to show proof of immunity to vaccine-preventable diseases transmitted by the respiratory route if working directly with unaccompanied children (UC). Medical and Religious exemptions may be requested after an offer of employment is accepted.
