New initiative highlights 1,200 job opportunities to join the front line, regardless of experience
With COVID-19 putting historic pressure on the healthcare system, there is a critical shortage of healthcare professionals, specifically in senior care facilities, where the need is growing rapidly and the turnover is high. To ensure today’s most vulnerable population can be protected and cared for, Monster, a global leader in connecting people and jobs, has partnered with MIT-based COVID-19 Policy Alliance and Massachusetts Senior Care Association, a trade association that represents long-term care facilities, to recruit for long-term care positions.

Through Monster’s From Home to Help Senior Care Initiative, 1,200 senior living jobs are now posted on the career site, at no cost, with many of the openings requiring no prior experience. Competitive salaries are offered for all positions, including resident care assistants, certified nursing aides, licensed practical nurses and registered nurses, along with a $1,000 bonus, funded by the state of Massachusetts.
“The people at greatest risk are our parents and grandparents, and we must do our part to care for them,” says Scott Gutz, CEO of Monster Worldwide. “So, regardless of your background or experience, your skills are transferrable, and you have the ability to join the front line and make a significant impact on a population that desperately needs our support.”

Since early March, the COVID-19 Policy Alliance has supported MSCA in its work with state government to protect the residents of long-term care facilities and their caretakers, including creating data tools and policy recommendations to mitigate the threat to nursing homes and elder care facilities. The alliance developed models and meaningful partnerships, such as this one, to help nursing homes secure essential testing, acquire personal protective equipment, and fill workforce vacancies at these centers.
