CNA Jobs in Portland, OR | Reliant Healthcare Solutions

Certified Nursing Assistant Jobs in Portland, OR

Portland, Oregon is home to a thriving and deeply integrated healthcare ecosystem, anchored by nationally recognized systems such as OHSU Health, Legacy Health, and Providence Health & Services. As the demand for compassionate, skilled Certified Nursing Assistants continues to grow across the region's long-term care and rehabilitation facilities, Reliant Healthcare Solutions (RHS) is actively connecting talented CNAs with meaningful temporary staffing opportunities throughout the Portland metro area — including surrounding communities like Beaverton, Gresham, Lake Oswego, and Tigard.

Oregon's healthcare landscape places a strong emphasis on person-centered, holistic care — values that align perfectly with the hands-on, resident-focused work CNAs perform every day in LTC and rehab environments. Portland's aging population is steadily expanding, and skilled nursing facilities, post-acute rehabilitation centers, and memory care communities across Multnomah, Washington, and Clackamas counties are in consistent need of reliable nursing support staff. Whether you are an experienced CNA or just launching your healthcare career, RHS has the connections and the resources to match you with a facility that fits your strengths and your schedule.

At Reliant Healthcare Solutions, we understand that great staffing is about more than filling a shift — it's about placing the right person in the right environment so both caregivers and residents can thrive. Our specialized healthcare staffing team knows the Portland market, understands Oregon's regulatory standards for nursing assistants, and works hard to advocate for our candidates at every step. We offer flexible shift options, transparent communication, and the support of a staffing partner that genuinely invests in your career. If you are a CNA ready to make a difference in the lives of Portland-area residents, we want to hear from you.
