Get Access To All JobsWHO WE ARE
We are VITAS Healthcare, the nation’s leading end-of-life care provider since 1978.
Our hospice organization kickstarts careers in caring, promotes from within, and provides a nationally recognized best-in-class employee experience. Supported by industry-leading experts and a growing network of programs in 15+ states, VITAS empowers team members to grow toward their goals while transforming patients’ lives.
Our priority is to care: For our patients, for each other, and for the future.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
As a home care registered nurse (RN), you will ensure hospice patients are comfortable and forge compassionate, meaningful connections with the people in their lives.
This is important work that comes with equal responsibility. Patients and families trust VITAS nurses to guide them through the end-of-life journey, and maintaining that trust is our highest priority.
You will be a respected member of our team, both as a caregiver and as a hospice educator. You will be entrusted with the autonomy to make care decisions at the bedside, ensuring not a moment is wasted in bringing comfort to your patients.
You will help patients and their loved ones understand and embrace the palliative—rather than curative—nature of hospice and the benefits of comfort-focused end-of-life care.
WHERE YOU’LL WORK
Each day is different. You will spend most of your time caring for hospice patients wherever they call home, whether that means a private residence or an assisted living/skilled nursing facility. Most VITAS nurses make 4-6 visits each day.
Once a week, you’ll visit the local program office to meet with an interdisciplinary team, including social workers, physicians, chaplains, and nurses, who collaborate to provide holistic support for the patients and families we serve.
WHAT’S EXPECTED FROM YOU
A VITAS nurse is the end-of-life caregiver everyone deserves. In addition to having your RN license, at least two years of nursing experience, and reliable transportation, you'll approach your work with the traits that make the VITAS Difference: Commitment, Compassion, and a Can-do Attitude.
You will keep patient welfare at the center of everything you do, giving your best each day in service of our core commitment: Extending comfort and dignity to all people at the end of their life’s journey.
QUALIFICATIONS
- Currently licensed to practice nursing in the state where the VITAS program is located.
- A minimum of two years of nursing experience in hospice, home health, or community health in the last five years.

Certify Your Welding Credentials Before Applying
VITAS operates in a regulated healthcare environment, so having AWS or equivalent welding certifications documented and ready before you apply signals professional readiness. Gaps in credential paperwork can slow down sponsorship timelines significantly once an offer is extended.
Target VITAS Facilities Maintenance Hiring Cycles
VITAS Healthcare runs hospice and care facilities across multiple states, and Welder openings typically reflect facility expansion or maintenance backlogs. Applying during periods when VITAS is opening new locations increases your chances of landing a role with active sponsorship appetite.
Distinguish Your OPT and CPT Eligibility Early
If you're on an F-1 visa, confirm whether your degree program supports CPT or OPT for skilled trades work before reaching out to recruiters. Healthcare facility employers like VITAS often move faster with candidates who arrive pre-authorized and require less initial USCIS coordination.
Use Migrate Mate to Surface Verified VITAS Openings
Welder roles at VITAS aren't always posted prominently across general job boards. Use Migrate Mate to filter specifically for VITAS Healthcare positions that match your visa type, so you're applying to roles where sponsorship has already been confirmed rather than guessing.
Ask Recruiters Directly About TN Visa Eligibility
If you're a Canadian or Mexican national, confirm with VITAS's HR team whether your Welder role qualifies under TN visa categories. TN classification for trades roles in healthcare facilities has specific DOL requirements, and confirming fit before your offer is finalized prevents delays at the border.
Prepare for I-129 Filing Timelines After Your Offer
Once VITAS extends an offer and agrees to sponsor your H-1B, your employer files Form I-129 with USCIS. Standard processing runs several months, so align your start date expectations and any current visa status deadlines with your HR contact before signing your offer letter.

Find Welder at VITAS Healthcare JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does VITAS Healthcare sponsor H-1B visas for Welders?
Yes, VITAS Healthcare has sponsored H-1B visas for Welder roles. As a large healthcare services organization managing physical facilities across multiple states, VITAS has demonstrated willingness to file H-1B petitions for skilled trades positions. Your best path is to apply directly and confirm sponsorship availability with the recruiter during the initial screening call.
How do I apply for Welder jobs at VITAS Healthcare?
You can apply through VITAS Healthcare's careers portal or browse verified openings on Migrate Mate, which filters roles by visa sponsorship type so you can confirm eligibility before applying. When you apply, be upfront about your visa status in your cover materials. Recruiters at VITAS typically screen for sponsorship fit early in the process, so clarity saves time on both sides.
Which visa types does VITAS Healthcare commonly use for Welder positions?
VITAS Healthcare has sponsored H-1B visas and supported F-1 OPT and CPT for Welder roles. Canadian and Mexican nationals may also qualify for TN visa status, depending on the specific role classification. If you're on OPT, confirm your remaining authorized work period covers at least the initial employment period before accepting an offer.
What qualifications does VITAS Healthcare expect for sponsored Welder roles?
VITAS typically looks for welders who can handle maintenance and repair work across healthcare facility infrastructure, including HVAC systems, structural components, and medical equipment supports. Professional welding certifications such as AWS credentials strengthen your application. Relevant experience in commercial or healthcare facility environments is a practical differentiator over candidates from purely industrial backgrounds.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take for a Welder role at VITAS Healthcare?
Timeline depends on your visa type. For H-1B, USCIS standard processing typically runs several months after your employer files Form I-129. F-1 OPT authorization through USCIS generally takes up to 90 days, so apply well before your intended start date. TN status for Canadian nationals can be obtained at the border on the same day, making it the fastest path if you qualify.
