South Hills Rehabilitation Center | Eugene, OR

Not every Director of Nursing role is the same.

If you're looking for a position where you're expected to fix everything alone, this isn't it.

At South Hills Rehabilitation Center , we're investing in nursing leadership. We're searching for an experienced Director of Nursing who is passionate about building strong systems, mentoring nurses, maintaining continuous survey readiness, and creating a culture where both residents and staff thrive.

This is an opportunity to lead-not simply react.

What Makes This Opportunity Different

We're looking for a DON who enjoys:

• Building clinical systems that last-not constantly putting out fires
• Leading successful state surveys through preparation, education, and accountability
• Coaching and developing nurse leaders into high-performing teams
• Improving quality measures and clinical outcomes
• Creating a positive nursing culture where staff feel supported and engaged

If you enjoy making lasting improvements instead of managing daily challenges, you'll be a great fit.

You Won't Be Doing It Alone

One of the biggest reasons DONs leave their roles is lack of support.

That's why we've intentionally built a leadership structure designed to help you succeed.

You'll have:

• Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON)
• Staff Development Coordinator dedicated to education and competency
• Clinical Scheduler assisting with staffing coordination
• Director of Rehabilitation as an interdisciplinary partner
• Dedicated Clinical Recruiter focused on nursing recruitment
• Regional Clinical Partner providing hands-on coaching and on-site support
• Chief Nursing Officer available for executive clinical guidance

Our goal is simple: give our nursing leaders the resources they need to focus on quality care, leadership, and clinical excellence.

What You'll Lead

As Director of Nursing, you'll oversee all nursing services while helping shape the future of our clinical programs.

Responsibilities include:

• Lead and mentor the nursing leadership team
• Maintain continuous CMS and state survey readiness
• Drive quality improvement initiatives
• Build sustainable clinical systems and processes
• Ensure compliance with state and federal regulations
• Partner with interdisciplinary leaders to improve resident outcomes
• Support employee engagement, retention, and professional development
• Create an environment where nurses can do their best work

We're Looking For Someone Who

• Holds an active, unencumbered Oregon RN license
• Has Director of Nursing or senior nursing leadership experience in skilled nursing or long-term care
• Is an expert in CMS regulations and state survey readiness
• Enjoys mentoring and developing people
• Thinks strategically and builds systems instead of temporary fixes
• Leads with accountability, collaboration, and compassion

Benefits

• Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance
• Company-Paid Life Insurance
• FSA & HSA Options
• Generous Paid Time Off
• Tuition Reimbursement
• Unlimited Employee Referral Bonuses
• Leadership Development & Growth Opportunities
