Rediscover the Joy of Nursing

Imagine being part of a team where your care truly transforms lives — not in a rushed clinical environment, but in a supportive community where you can connect 1:1 with the people you serve.
At LARC, you’ll have the opportunity to slow down, build meaningful relationships, and bring your skills to a place where every interaction matters.

As a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), you’ll provide compassionate, individualized care to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) in home and community-based settings. You’ll work alongside a dedicated team that values empathy, respect, and empowerment — all while enjoying a more balanced, fulfilling pace.

What You’ll Do

• Provide exceptional nursing care and oversight by implementing health care plans, charting vital signs, and administering medications as prescribed by physicians.
• Support individuals in their daily routines, offering personal care and health guidance as outlined in each Individual Support Plan (ISP).
• Build long-term, trusting relationships with the individuals you support and their families.
• Collaborate with other healthcare professionals, guardians, and team members to ensure holistic, person-centered care.
• Accompany individuals on community outings — enjoy activities like picnics, movies, bowling, or dining out as part of LARC’s vision of “community for all.”

This is more than nursing — it’s caring with purpose, forming bonds that enrich lives, including your own.

Why You’ll Love Working at LARC

• Unparalleled Health Insurance: No deductible on most services, with low weekly employee contributions.
• Comprehensive Coverage: Medical, dental, company-paid vision and life insurance.
• Generous Time Off: 3 weeks of paid leave in your first year, plus paid sick time and 12 holidays.
• Retirement Support: 401(k) with company contribution.
• Work-Life Balance: Enjoy a calmer pace and smaller caseloads — allowing you to focus on quality, not quantity.
• Team Culture: Join a community of professionals who believe in dignity, respect, and inclusion for all.

What You’ll Bring

• A current, active Connecticut LPN license.
• Have a valid CT driver’s license, a clean driving record and have reliable transportation. 
• Must successfully complete all required federal, state, and regulatory background checks as a condition of employment, including criminal history, driving record, and a pre-employment physical examination, in accordance with Connecticut and federal law.
• CPR & First Aid certification (or willingness to obtain — training provided).
• Compassion, patience, and a commitment to person-centered care.
• The ability to lift and support individuals with limited mobility when needed.
• (Preferred) Experience working with the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) nursing policies and procedures — training provided if needed.

Who Thrives in This Role

This role is ideal for nurses who:

• Value connection and continuity of care.
• Want to make a difference in the lives of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
• Appreciate a balanced environment where professional excellence meets genuine human connection.
