Job Description

Full-Time | Salaried | Full Benefits + Paid Time Off

We’re growing, and we’re excited to add a new Clinical Manager to support our team!

As our branch continues to grow, we are creating a full-time Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) position to provide additional leadership, clinical guidance, and day-to-day support to our nursing team.

We have a dedicated group of clinicians who genuinely care about their patients, their families, and each other. We are looking for an experienced Registered Nurse leader who can help our team continue to grow while maintaining the high standard of care our patients deserve.

For us, leadership isn’t just about policies, productivity, and documentation. It’s about being approachable, positive, dependable, and willing to help your team solve problems. We want someone who can maintain high standards while creating an environment where employees feel supported, valued, and comfortable asking for guidance.

This is a full-time salaried position with a full benefits package and paid time off (PTO).

What You’ll Do:

As ADON, you will work closely with the Director of Nursing and other members of leadership to oversee and support clinical operations for our growing Home Health and Hospice team.

• Provide day-to-day clinical leadership, guidance, and support to RN Case Managers, LPNs, aides, and other clinical staff.
• Serve as a clinical resource when staff have questions, concerns, or changes in patient condition that require additional guidance.
• Help clinicians establish priorities, problem-solve challenging situations, and ensure patient needs are addressed appropriately.
• Review referrals and assist with determining appropriate services, staffing, and assignment of clinicians.
• Support coordination of care across the clinical team.
• Monitor clinical documentation for accuracy, completeness, timeliness, and regulatory compliance.
• Assist with clinical chart review and quality assurance activities.
• Review OASIS documentation for accuracy and provide education and feedback when needed.
• Help ensure compliance with Home Health and Hospice regulations, agency policies, and professional standards of practice.
• Lead and participate in clinical meetings, case conferences, and interdisciplinary discussions.
• Support staff education, competency development, and ongoing clinical training.
• Provide coaching and constructive feedback to help team members grow professionally.
• Assist with orientation and training of new clinical employees.
• Participate in interviewing and selecting new clinical team members.
• Monitor staffing needs, productivity, and clinical workloads and communicate needs to leadership.
• Assist with employee evaluations and performance management as appropriate.
• Participate in quality improvement and QAPI initiatives.
• Help coordinate appropriate RN coverage and provide clinical/on-call backup as needed.
• Collaborate with physicians, facilities, community providers, patients, and families to promote continuity and quality of care.
• Partner with the Director of Nursing and leadership team to identify opportunities to improve clinical operations and patient care.

What We’re Looking For:

• Current Registered Nurse license in the State of Utah .
• Graduate of an accredited professional nursing program; BSN preferred.
• Minimum of two years of nursing experience or equivalent relevant clinical experience.
• Leadership or supervisory experience preferred.
• Home Health and/or Hospice experience strongly preferred.
• Knowledge of Home Health and Hospice clinical practices, documentation, and regulatory requirements preferred.
• Familiarity with OASIS and Home Health documentation requirements is highly desirable.
• Strong clinical judgment and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent organization, prioritization, and time-management skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to provide clear direction while remaining approachable and supportive.
• Comfortable providing coaching, education, and constructive feedback.
• Ability to balance accountability with encouragement and support.
• Current CPR certification.

The Leader We Hope to Find

Experience and clinical knowledge are important, but leadership style matters to us, too.

We are looking for someone who brings a positive attitude to work and helps create that same environment for the people around them.

The right person will be comfortable holding staff accountable while also asking, “What do you need from me to be successful?”

We want an ADON who listens before jumping to conclusions, communicates clearly, addresses concerns directly and respectfully, and recognizes that even excellent clinicians sometimes need guidance and support.

This person should be willing to teach rather than simply correct, help solve problems rather than assign blame, and recognize employees when they are doing great work.

Above all, we want someone who understands that supporting our clinical team ultimately means better care for our patients and families.

This is a full-time, salaried position offering full benefits and paid time off. You will have the opportunity to help shape this new role and work closely with the Director of Nursing and leadership team to strengthen clinical operations while preserving the supportive, patient-centered culture we value.

Our goal is to build a team where people enjoy coming to work, feel supported by their leadership, take pride in the care they provide, and know that their work matters.

If you are an experienced RN who enjoys developing people, solving problems, improving clinical quality, and helping a team succeed, we would love to meet you.
