Visiting Nurse Service of New York is currently hosting a series of Open Hiring Events for VNSNY Partners in Care, the largest not-for-profit employer of certified Home Health Aides in the New York metropolitan region. 


Each free event will be a celebratory occasion where attendees have a chance to meet and talk directly with Partners in Care managers to hear about the many different positions available. They’ll also get a chance to speak to home health aides themselves about their experiences on the job.


Home health aides often spend more time with patients than other members of a home care team. From assisting with activities of daily living, to checking vital signs or simply sharing a conversation, they help their clients stay comfortable and live their lives to the fullest. All who work at Partners in Care as a home health aide will receive thorough training to develop skills necessary to be successful in the role and continue their professional growth.


“We’re excited to meet new and talented workers at our job fairs this summer,” said James Rolla, SVP who heads up VNSNY Partners in Care. “The contribution our home health aides make in the lives of their clients is essential and quite meaningful, and, as we saw in NYC’s recent Hometown Heroes Tickertape Parade, the role of our healthcare workers has never been more vital—especially considering workforce shortages caused by the pandemic.”


All are encouraged to come to one of the “Celebrating Home Health Aides” events listed below, and everyone is welcome, whether they are already certified as a HHA, or wishing to become certified. Those with gaps in their resume, mature job-seekers looking to reenter the workforce and bilingual applicants whose primary language is not English are all encouraged to attend. 


There will be snacks and giveaways at all events.
