Job Description

Spero Hospice is hiring! We’re looking for a caring, dependable RN who’s ready to make a real impact in patients’ lives during a vulnerable and meaningful time.

This isn’t just another nursing job — it’s a chance to join a small, supportive team that values compassion, communication, and doing right by our patients and their families. You’ll manage symptoms, provide hands-on care, and support loved ones every step of the way.

What we offer:

• Flexible schedule options
• Competitive pay
• Supportive leadership team
• Low bureaucracy, high trust
• Respect for your clinical judgment
• Room to grow within the company

We take pride in delivering care the way it should be — personal, thoughtful, and team-driven. If that sounds like a fit, we’d love to hear from you.

$48 - $53 hourly

• Complete in-home assessments and manage ongoing symptom control
• Create and update care plans based on patient needs
• Provide hands-on clinical care with a focus on comfort and dignity
• Work closely with our medical director, social workers, and aides to deliver coordinated care
• Support families emotionally and help them understand the hospice journey
• Advocate for patients’ wishes and cultural values
• Attend team meetings and collaborate on care strategies
• Communicate with outside providers when needed
• Educate families on what to expect and how to support their loved one
• Keep thorough and timely charting for compliance and continuity of care

• Active RN license in New Jersey
• 2–3+ years of hands-on nursing experience (hospice or palliative care is a big plus)
• Strong understanding of end-of-life care and the hospice model
• Compassionate communicator — with patients, families, and your team
• Emotionally grounded, with the ability to support others through tough moments
• Comfortable working independently in the field
• Reliable with time management and documentation
• Familiar with EMR systems and basic charting tools
