Immigration Coordinator

Towne Kids is hiring an Immigration Coordinator to manage the end-to-end immigration and licensure process for Towne Kids’ international nursing staff. Based on-site in Howell Township, this role works closely with the Philippines-based recruitment team and our retained immigration attorney.  This role prepares USCIS petitions, tracks all filing timelines, oversees state nursing licensure, and coordinates the logistics of nurse deployment from the Philippines to the United States. 

Towne Kids is looking for someone who is highly organized and dependable, with a strong track record of managing detailed, time-sensitive work accurately. This role requires comfort working independently and across time zones, along with responsiveness in asynchronous communication. The right candidate brings strong cross-cultural awareness and a genuine interest in supporting international nurses through a complex transition process. They proactively surface issues early, think in terms of systems and workflows, and naturally document, organize, and improve the processes they touch. 

If you have experience working in administrative or HR focused roles and like learning new things, this is a great opportunity to join our growing team!
