Relocation to Lakeport, CA

Full Spectrum Search Group is a full-service healthcare recruiting agency specializing in post-acute leadership and healthcare administration. We are seeking an experienced Director of Nursing Services (DNS) for a skilled nursing facility in Lakeport, California .

This is a high-impact opportunity for a hands-on nursing leader who is ready to strengthen clinical operations, rebuild nursing culture, develop staff, and make a meaningful impact on the overall performance of the facility.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide overall leadership and oversight of nursing operations within the facility
  • Maintain a strong presence on the nursing floor and lead by example
  • Lead, mentor, develop, and retain nursing staff across all departments
  • Build a cohesive nursing team and establish a culture of accountability and teamwork
  • Ensure delivery of high-quality resident care and positive clinical outcomes
  • Maintain compliance with federal, state, and local regulatory requirements
  • Drive survey readiness, quality assurance, and performance improvement initiatives
  • Identify and address clinical, documentation, and process gaps
  • Partner with the Administrator and interdisciplinary leadership team to achieve clinical and operational goals
  • Monitor staffing levels, scheduling, and workforce development

  • Demonstrated ability to build, develop, and stabilize clinical teams
  • Experience in a turnaround, rebuilding, or challenging skilled nursing environment preferred

  • Willing to relocate to Lakeport, CA

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

  • High-Impact Leadership Opportunity: Take ownership of clinical operations and play a key role in strengthening nursing performance, staff culture, and resident care.
  • Hands-On Leadership: This position is ideal for a nursing leader who prefers to lead from the floor, work directly with staff, and be actively involved in day-to-day clinical operations.
  • Supportive Leadership Team: Work alongside experienced operational leadership with a collaborative approach and a strong commitment to the facility's success.
  • Competitive Remuneration: Enjoy a competitive compensation package that reflects the experience and leadership expertise required for this position.
