Summary of Job Duties:
The Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) works under the direct supervision of licensed nurses or medical providers to administer direct patient care- either in person or through telehealth- and assist with the flow of patients in the ambulatory medical and GYN/Women's clinics. The job duties for this position include but are not limited to: obtaining patient history, vitals and other screening procedures to prepare patients for exams and procedures, assisting medical providers, and other duties as assigned. This position will function as part of a team and work with a diverse patient population.
This position holds significant responsibility as a “remote essential” role. In challenging situations such as inclement weather or emergencies, when the Pat Walker Health Center or campus needs to close, our dedicated team of medical professionals will be on standby to serve our campus community’s needs through telehealth if deemed appropriate for the patient’s complaint.
The decision to conduct telehealth evaluations will depend on various factors, including the nature of the medical issue (in compliance with Arkansas State Medical Board regulations), patient preference, and the availability of resources. Our primary goal is to ensure that the UA community has access to quality healthcare even during unexpected closures.
To be fully prepared for such events, all staff members must take their UA issued laptops home nightly during the work week and each weekend. This way, they can readily assist with patient access and telehealth services if the medical clinics are unexpectedly closed during the following business day. By functioning cohesively as a team, our medical units will ensure that adequate medical care remains accessible to our UA community with each team member sharing this responsibility equally.
Regular, reliable, and non-disruptive attendance is an essential job duty, as is the ability to create and maintain collegial, harmonious working relationships with others.

K 12 Education Jobs in Arkansas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a k 12 education in Arkansas?
To work as a teacher or educator in Arkansas K-12 schools, you must hold an Arkansas teaching license issued by the Arkansas Department of Education's Office of Educator Licensure. Candidates typically complete a state-approved teacher preparation program, earn a bachelor's degree in education or a content area, and pass required Praxis Core and content-specific exams before applying for licensure through the Arkansas educator licensure portal.
Which companies hire k 12 educations in Arkansas?
Companies currently hiring k 12 educations in Arkansas include The BridgeWay, Connections Education, and University of Arkansas, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Arkansas's largest public school districts, charter management organizations, and early-childhood providers account for the majority of posted openings across the state.
Which Arkansas cities have the most k 12 education jobs?
North Little Rock, Jonesboro, and Bentonville post the most k 12 education openings in Arkansas. Little Rock drives volume as the state capital with its large consolidated district, while Fayetteville and Bentonville reflect the rapid population growth of Northwest Arkansas, which has drawn major employers whose workforces fuel continuous demand for additional school capacity and teaching staff.
Are there remote k 12 education jobs in Arkansas?
Yes, but they're rare. Most K-12 education work requires in-person instruction, so fully remote positions make up a small share of the market. About 20% of k 12 education openings tied to Arkansas are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, and those roles tend to concentrate in virtual charter instruction, curriculum development, and education technology coaching rather than traditional classroom teaching.
How can I get hired as a k 12 education in Arkansas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a paraprofessional or instructional aide position with a district like Little Rock School District or Rogers School District while completing your licensure requirements. Arkansas also offers an alternative licensure pathway through the Arkansas Department of Education for career-changers who hold a bachelor's degree in a content area, letting candidates teach while completing supervised residency requirements and education coursework.
Where can I find and apply to k 12 education jobs in Arkansas?
You can find and apply to k 12 education jobs in Arkansas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Arkansas openings across school districts, charter networks, and education organizations statewide.
