In this role, you'll lead the people, programs, and practices that ensure every patient and family we serve receives compassionate, high-quality care through one of life's most profound transitions. If you're a clinical leader who leads with purpose and holds both excellence and humanity as non-negotiables, you'll belong here.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and guide hospice clinical and administrative staff to deliver safe, effective, patient-centered end-of-life care
• Oversee recruitment, hiring, evaluation, orientation, and performance of hospice personnel
• Manage staffing patterns, daily assignments, and on-call rotations to ensure consistent coverage for patients and families
• Ensure individualized care plans are developed, implemented, and updated in compliance with physician orders, Medicare Conditions of Participation, and state standards
• Direct interdisciplinary group meetings, care conferences, and Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement activities
• Monitor clinical and operational practices to promote quality outcomes, patient and family satisfaction, and regulatory compliance
• Foster strong relationships with physicians, referral partners, community organizations, and the Professional Advisory Committee
• Represent Corus in community education initiatives to promote awareness of hospice services and the hospice Medicare benefit

Requirements:

What We're Looking For

• Current RN license in state of practice (or qualifying clinical license per state hospice requirements)
• Bachelor's degree in nursing, healthcare administration, or related field; Master's preferred
• 3–5 years of progressive leadership experience in hospice or end-of-life care, including at least 1 year in a clinical management role
• Strong skills in staff development, care plan oversight, and regulatory compliance
• Ability to manage competing priorities with clarity and steadiness
• Proficiency in EMR systems and Microsoft Office Suite
• Valid driver's license and ability to travel locally as needed

Why Join Us

Corus Health is built on five generations of care — and the Director of Hospice plays a defining role in who we are to patients, families, and our clinical team. You'll be supported with medical, dental, and vision coverage, PTO, 401(k), mileage reimbursement, and real opportunities for growth and development in a mission-driven environment. We believe our work is to bring out the courage in others — in the patients we serve and in the people who show up for them every day. If that resonates with you, we'd be honored to talk.
