Job Description

In this role, you will have the opportunity to work across both the FSED and Winter Haven Hospital if desired, or the ability to work all shifts at the FSED.

- Affordable housing compared to many Florida markets
- Year-round outdoor recreation
- Proximity to major attractions, airports, and Gulf and Atlantic Coast beaches
