Job Description

Licensed Nursing Home Administrator (Skilled Nursing Center Site Administrator)

Location: Vermont · On-site · Full-time, senior level

Compensation: Competitive and negotiable based on experience

Perks: Signing bonus & relocation

A long-established health system in Vermont is hiring site-level leadership for its skilled nursing centers, and the mandate is bigger than keeping the lights on. This is a senior role for someone who wants to help shape what post-acute and long-term care becomes in a rural region — not just administer it.

The organization has been investing in continuing care as a strategic priority, expanding access and reimagining how high-quality care reaches small communities. You'd be a site administrator reporting directly to the VP of Long Term Care Operations, with a genuine seat at that table.

You lead a skilled nursing center end to end — clinical quality, regulatory compliance, operations, and culture — in a setting built to feel like a home, not an institution.

• Own operational and clinical-quality outcomes for the center, in line with federal and state long-term-care regulations
• Champion post-acute and long-term care services as part of the system's broader strategy for access and affordability
• Identify and close systemic gaps; align policy, contracts, and initiatives across departments and partners
• Develop and invest in staff, fostering a culture where people feel valued and stay
• Represent the center to system leadership and external stakeholders with clarity and credibility

Required

• Active Nursing Home Administrator license (Vermont and/or New York)
• Bachelor's in Healthcare Administration, Business Administration, or a related field
• 5+ years of management experience with increasing responsibility, including time in a skilled nursing, residential care, or assisted living setting
• Prior experience as both an Administrator and an Assistant Administrator

Preferred

• Master's degree
• 10+ years of LNHA experience

• Competitive, negotiable compensation
• A comprehensive benefits package — medical, dental, vision, life, retirement, and paid time off
• Direct reporting line to senior LTC leadership and real influence on system strategy
• A mission-driven environment where the work visibly serves the surrounding community

On-site role; reports in person to a specific center. May occasionally require work outside standard business hours. This is a resident-, family-, and staff-facing leadership position in an active clinical environment.

This is the version of New England people actually move for. The Green Mountains on one side, the Champlain Valley opening west toward the lake and the Adirondacks on the other. Four real seasons, small cities with good food and short commutes, and a rhythm of life that rewards slowing down — skiing and trails in winter, water and farm stands in summer. It's a region that attracts people who want their work to matter and their off-hours to feel like a life, not a recovery.

A century-old, academically affiliated rural health system serving communities across a broad region, with continuing care, long-term care, and home-based services among its core commitments. Its strategy centers on keeping exceptional care close to home for the people who live there.
