How You’LL Help Transform Healthcare

This is Carilion Clinic...

An organization where innovation happens, collaboration is expected and ideas are valued. A not-for-profit, mission-driven health system built on progress and partnerships. A courageous team that is always learning, never discouraged and forever curious.

Headquartered in Roanoke, Va., you will find a robust system of award winning hospitals, Level 1 and 3 trauma centers, Level 3 NICU, Institute of Orthopedics and Neurosciences, multi-specialty physician practices, and The Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine and Research Institute.

Carilion is where you can make your own path, make new discoveries and, most importantly, make a difference. Here, in a place where the air is clean, people are kind and life is good. Make your tomorrow with us.

The certified registered nurse anesthetist plans and administers anesthesia and related care to patients upon request by patient's physician to facilitate diagnostic, therapeutic, surgical or obstetrical procedures, according to the standards and principles of anesthesiology.

CRNA Opportunity | Carilion Clinic – Christiansburg, VA

Big career. Mountain lifestyle. Meaningful relationships.

At Carilion Clinic, we believe the best care starts with strong relationships—between colleagues, with patients, and within the communities we serve. If you’re looking for a place where you’re known, supported, and truly part of a team, this is that opportunity.

We are seeking a CRNA to join our collaborative anesthesia team at Carilion New River Valley Medical Center in Christiansburg, Virginia—a Level III trauma center serving the New River Valley, where high-quality care, teamwork, and a people-first culture go hand in hand.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • $50,000 sign-on bonus
  • No call responsibilities
  • Flexible self-scheduling (8-, 10-, or 12-hour shifts)
  • Full-time and part-time options
  • Additional incentives for night shift positions
  • Extra shifts paid at premium rates (averaging $200/hour – FPR)
  • Annual merit increases and bonus opportunities

You’ll work alongside a supportive group of physicians, CRNAs, and care teams who value communication, trust, and mutual respect. Whether you’re a new graduate or an experienced provider, you’ll be mentored, included, and empowered to grow. The diverse case mix keeps your work engaging while strengthening your clinical confidence.

Opportunities to practice across Carilion facilities also allow you to build relationships across teams and expand your experience in different care settings.

Compensation and long-term financial advantages

We invest in you—both now and in the future:

  • Non-profit organization with Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) eligibility
  • Fully employer-funded pension plan with five-year vesting
  • 403(b) retirement savings plan
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and life insurance

Why Christiansburg and the New River Valley?

Life here makes it easy to feel connected—both at work and beyond it.

Christiansburg offers a welcoming, close-knit community in the heart of Virginia’s New River Valley, surrounded by the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Spend your time off exploring the Huckleberry Trail, hiking nearby sections of the Appalachian Trail, biking scenic routes, visiting Claytor Lake, or enjoying the shops, restaurants, and community events in Christiansburg and nearby Blacksburg. With Virginia Tech just minutes away, the area blends small-town comfort with the energy, culture, and resources of a university community.

With a lower cost of living, strong schools, outdoor recreation, and neighborhoods where people look out for one another, Christiansburg is a place where individuals and families can thrive—and where it’s easy to feel at home.
