Advanced Recovery Systems

Description
Lead With Purpose. Help Heroes Heal.
Fire fighters and emergency medical professionals spend their lives responding to trauma, crisis, and emergencies for others. At the IAFF Center of Excellence, we exist to care for them.
We are seeking a compassionate, experienced, and mission-driven Assistant Director of Nursing (RN) to help lead our nursing team at one of the nation's premier behavioral health treatment centers dedicated exclusively to professional fire service members.
This is more than a nursing leadership position - it's an opportunity to make a lasting impact on the lives of first responders struggling with PTSD, substance use, depression, anxiety, and other behavioral health challenges.
Why Nurses Choose the IAFF Center of Excellence
At the IAFF Center of Excellence, you'll work alongside a multidisciplinary team that understands the unique culture, trauma, and resilience of the fire service community. Every day, you'll help create a safe, healing environment where recovery truly happens.
Our 15-acre campus near Washington, D.C. was thoughtfully designed to promote wellness and recovery, offering a serene setting, state-of-the-art facilities, and a collaborative clinical culture focused on compassionate, evidence-based care.
As part of Advanced Recovery Systems - a nationally recognized, physician-led behavioral healthcare organization - we combine clinical excellence with heart-centered care to help patients reclaim their lives.
About the Role
As the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) , you'll play a key leadership role in supporting daily nursing operations while ensuring exceptional patient care, regulatory compliance, and staff support.
You'll partner closely with the Director of Nursing to lead a high-performing nursing team, mentor staff, coordinate patient care operations, and help maintain the highest standards of safety and clinical quality.
This role is ideal for a nurse leader who thrives in a fast-paced behavioral health environment and values teamwork, accountability, compassion, and service.
What You'll Do
Clinical & Operational Leadership
Support day-to-day nursing operations and staffing coordination
Assist with admissions, discharges, transfers, and continuity of care
Help ensure safe staffing coverage and operational readiness
Serve as nursing leadership support during emergencies or critical situations
Step into the Director of Nursing role when needed
Quality & Compliance
Conduct infection control and nursing compliance audits
Monitor medication management processes and regulatory compliance
Support quality assurance initiatives and nursing procedure reviews
Ensure timely and accurate documentation within AVATAR systems
Track labs, outside consultations, and medical transfers
Team Support & Collaboration
Mentor and support nursing and behavioral health staff
Partner with interdisciplinary teams to coordinate patient care
Foster a culture of professionalism, accountability, and compassion
Build trusting relationships with patients, families, and colleagues
Patient-Centered Care
Interact directly with patients to ensure high-quality care experiences
Help create a therapeutic, respectful, and healing environment
Support specialized recovery programming, including the Vivitrol program
What We're Looking For
We're looking for a strong nursing leader who brings:
Experience in behavioral health, substance use treatment, detox, or psychiatric nursing
Excellent clinical judgment and organizational skills
A calm, solution-focused approach under pressure
Strong communication and leadership abilities
Compassion for individuals navigating recovery and mental health challenges
A collaborative mindset and commitment to team success
Why This Work Matters
Our patients are fire fighters, paramedics, and first responders who have spent their careers helping others through unimaginable circumstances. Here, you'll have the opportunity to help them heal, recover, and return to their lives with hope.
As one alumnus shared:
"The foundation I got from the COE taught me that helping myself first allows me to genuinely help others. It's about turning our pain into a source of strength."
If you're ready to lead with compassion and make a meaningful difference in behavioral healthcare, we'd love to meet you.
Join a Team That Changes Lives Every Day
At the IAFF Center of Excellence, your leadership, expertise, and compassion will directly impact the recovery journeys of the heroes who serve our communities.
Apply today and help first responders find healing, hope, and recovery.
