Senior Manager, RN, Care Transitions

Avail Health is launching a hospital-based Care Transitions Program supporting Medicare patients with complex medical, behavioral health, and social needs following discharge. The Senior Manager, RN is the frontline clinical leader of that program — the primary on‑site representative of Avail Health within the hospital and the day‑to‑day leader of the interdisciplinary Care Transitions team. You’ll work on the hospital floor identifying eligible patients, conducting assessments, supporting enrollment, and building the working relationships with hospital care management teams that make the program run. You’ll lead daily virtual huddles with the remote team — NP, RN Care Manager, SW Care Manager, and Care Coordinators — managing panel priorities, escalations, and coordination workflows. You’ll provide direct people management and clinical oversight for the team, and partner closely with the Senior Operations Manager and executive leadership on program performance and growth. This is a founding leadership role. You’re not inheriting a built program — you’re standing one up.
