Nurse Recruitment and Careers FAQs
Nurses and Behavioral Health Professionals usually have the same questions before they apply: how hiring works, what the schedule looks like, and what support they will have in the field. These are the questions candidates ask most about working with COR Health. For anything not covered here, call 207-560-8699 or apply online.
Applying and the Hiring Process
COR Health hires nurses and Behavioral Health Professionals (BHPs) across Maine, based on where families currently need care. Because hiring follows client cases, openings change. Current nurse and BHP openings are posted on Indeed.
Hiring isn’t speculative. A new nurse is brought on once there’s an actual case to staff. Questions about timing? Contact us.
There are over 100 nurses currently on staff.
Applications that come in through the website or Indeed go straight to the recruiter and are typically reviewed the same day, and within 24 hours (applications that arrive over a weekend are picked up Monday). If it looks like a potential fit, you’ll get an email with a link to a short pre-screening form.
A quick set of questions that checks the basics, such as your location and, for BHP positions, whether you have a car available. If you meet the requirements, you’re immediately prompted to schedule your own Zoom interview.
For BHP positions, yes. You’ll use your own vehicle to transport clients and complete community-based goal work with the clients.
You do it yourself, right after the pre-screen. A calendar pops up, you pick a time, and it’s booked directly on the recruiter’s calendar. You’ll be interviewed by Zoom. Questions before you apply? Contact us.
Someone who wants to do this work: one-on-one time with a client, helping them make progress, and making a difference. Home care isn’t a clock-in, clock-out job, and candidates who are passionate about the work tend to be the best fit and stay the longest. Learn more about working here at the top of this page.
After your interview, your availability, driving range, and preferences are entered into CORMatch, COR Health’s in-house matching system, which pairs you with clients who have open hours. COR Health’s Rapid Placement Team then reviews each potential match, because a human check confirms the fit in ways a system can’t, such as what a nurse said in her interview about the kinds of cases she wants.
Fast. Because the rapid placement team reviews matches as they come up, an offer can often go out the same day a good match is found. COR Health doesn’t send an offer until there’s a good match. Start your application to get the process moving.
Hours are matched to what families need, so very limited availability or narrow windows can be hard to place. This comes up more for BHP roles (often after-school, shorter shifts) than for nursing, where there are more hours and more options. Contact us to talk through your availability.
Hours, Schedule, and Location
It’s flexible up front: you share your available days, hours, and general area when you’re matched through CORMatch (for example, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday within a set distance). Once that schedule is set, it’s fixed going forward. It isn’t pick-up-shift, PRN-style flexibility like hospital work.
Hours are capped at 40/week per nurse; most nurses carry 1–2 cases at a time but hours vary more drastically.
Yes. You can work up to 40 hours with COR Health and pick up additional hours with another agency. Because home health regulations in Maine set a cap, and COR Health honors that while protecting staff, COR Health itself doesn’t schedule nurses beyond 40 hours.
COR Health serves families in Maine. Candidates who live just over the border, such as in New Hampshire near York County, are considered for nursing and BHP roles as long as the drive to the client is reasonable.
The in-house CORMatch tool is especially useful during the interview process. Recruiters can pull up open cases near a candidate’s home in real time.
The large majority of COR Health’s caseload is pediatric and that includes clients aging from birth to age 20.
Most meet-and-greets are a good fit. The rapid placement team checks in with both the nurse and the family right afterward. If either side has concerns, the team goes back to the drawing board and, in most cases, schedules another meet-and-greet quickly. Finding a new match can take longer in more remote parts of the state or when a schedule is very specific, such as overnights. Some nurses who had early hesitations have found, with their supervisor’s support, that the placement became a great fit within a few weeks.
Yes. Pediatric nurses can continue providing care when a client moves into adult services. The same care plan and physician orders carry over.
Support, Benefits, and Growth
You’re never on your own. COR Health provides ongoing supervision and training, supervisors who stay close to what’s happening in the field, and after-hours on-call support. If your supervisor isn’t available, on-call is.
Employees receive annual reviews with raises built into the process, so you’re not stuck at the same rate. Staff working 30 or more hours a week (COR Health’s full-time standard) are eligible for health care and tuition repayment. See the full list under Employee Benefits at the top of this page.
Yes. In the past, nurses who had been with COR Health for several years have been promoted into corporate positions. The same path is open on the behavioral health side: a BHP has been promoted to field supervisor, provided they meet the degree and eligibility requirements.
Community and Culture
Providing one-on-one home care services can sometimes feel isolating, so COR Health makes a point of creating in-person connections. Staff come together at social events and gatherings throughout the year in various locations. That brings people together who don’t work side by side every day.

Every month an Essentialist of the Month is chosen and highlighted in our newsletter. Anniversaries are announced and celebrated. And everybody even gets a gift for the birthday. COR Health also celebrates and coordinates activities and events around recognition weeks such Nurses Week and Case Managers Week.
