RAM Recruiting

Job Description

Job Description

Family of Caring at Ridgewood is hiring an Assistant Director of Nursing / Infection Preventionist (ADON/IP) to join our nursing leadership team. This is a full-time Assistant Director of Nursing / Infection Preventionist role at our 96-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation center in Ridgewood, New Jersey.Prior nursing home experience is required.

We're a Bergen County facility that has been caring for this community for many years, and we're part of the Family of Caring network of skilled nursing and rehabilitation centers across northern New Jersey. Our building is known for a strong staff-to-resident ratio, individualized care plans built around measurable results, and a team that treats residents like family. The Assistant Director of Nursing / Infection Preventionist we bring on will work directly with our Director of Nursing (DON) and have real support from administration and ownership. If you're an experienced ADON, a Nursing Supervisor or Unit Manager ready to step up, or a current Infection Preventionist who wants a broader leadership role, this Assistant Director of Nursing / Infection Preventionist position is worth a conversation.

What You'll Do
  • Support the Director of Nursing (DON) in day-to-day clinical operations, staffing, and supervision of the nursing department

  • Own the facility's infection prevention and control program: surveillance, outbreak management, antibiotic stewardship, staff education, and reporting to the state and CDC's National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN)

  • Ensure compliance with New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) regulations, and lead the infection control portion of survey readiness

  • Mentor and coach nurses and Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) on clinical standards, documentation, and infection control practices

  • Step in as acting Director of Nursing when the DON is out of the building

Qualifications
  • Active New Jersey Registered Nurse (RN) license

  • Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) experience, or nursing leadership experience (Nursing Supervisor, Unit Manager) in a skilled nursing setting

  • Must have experience in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) / long-term care (LTC) setting

  • Completion of a CDC/CMS-recognized Infection Preventionist (IP) training course, or willingness to complete it upon hire

What We Offer
  • Full benefits package including medical, dental, vision, paid time off, and 401(k)

  • A stable, well-run building with a supportive DON, Administrator, and ownership

  • Real career path toward Director of Nursing within a multi-facility organization

Apply Now

We're interviewing now and looking to fill this Assistant Director of Nursing / Infection Preventionist position quickly.
