CEO In Training (CIT)

Pennant Group , Inc.

CEO-In-Training Program

Cornerstone, part of The Pennant Group family, is currently seeking entrepreneurial leaders with proven results in building and leading exceptional teams—and a passion for the home health, hospice and home care industry. Join us in making an impact and shaping the future of post-acute care!

The CEO-In-Training (CIT) Program is designed to prepare outstanding leaders for the opportunity to lead one of our home health or hospice agencies. This salaried, full-time training program typically lasts 3–6 months, depending on your background and experience. CITs may advance to oversee one of our thriving agencies or a future acquisition, with continued mentorship and operational support from experienced Pennant partners.

As a CIT, you will gain hands-on practical experience in operations, clinical care, and business management under the guidance of an experienced Executive Director/CEO. The program offers mentorship, cross-functional training, and real responsibility in a dynamic environment. You'll learn to drive results, cultivate a strong team culture, and develop a deep understanding of the unique business models that power Pennant's success.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Participate in on-the-job training across all operational roles
  • Shadow clinical and administrative teams to understand the full scope of the business
  • Lead projects and contribute to real-time solutions within your host company
  • Engage in self-study on industry regulations and operational best practices
  • Align leadership skills while embodying Cornerstone's core values

Qualifications:

Minimum Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in healthcare (MBA/MHA preferred)
  • 2+ years of proven leadership experience in healthcare
  • Strong track record of building and leading successful teams
  • Ability to create a vision and drive results
  • Must obtain any required state licensing during their CIT program (varies by state)
  • Open to relocation based on available opportunities

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Entrepreneurial mindset with a passion for growth
  • Experience in business development, marketing, and financial management
  • Proven ability to drive culture and lead with passion

Compensation: $100K+ during the 12-18 week training period. Upon successful completion of the CIT role and advancement to an Executive Director role, there is opportunity for base salary increase and incentive plan.
