Assistant Director of Nursing / MDS Coordinator

Job Description

Job Description

The Pavilion at Jacksonville is hiring an Assistant Director of Nursing / MDS Coordinator to join our nursing leadership team. This is a combined Assistant Director of Nursing / MDS Coordinator role at a 60-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation center on Edgewood Avenue in Jacksonville, where the building is small enough that you know every resident and every nurse by name, and the Director of Nursing (DON) is right down the hall.

We're looking for an Assistant Director of Nursing / MDS Coordinator who has done this work before. Prior skilled nursing facility (SNF) / long-term care (LTC) experience is required, and hands-on MDS (Minimum Data Set) experience is a must. If you've been an ADON, an MDS Coordinator, or both, and you want a facility where your work actually shapes the clinical program, this Assistant Director of Nursing / MDS Coordinator role is a good fit.

The Pavilion is more than a healthcare center. It's a community. We offer short-term rehab, long-term care, and memory care, with on-site dentistry, optometry, and podiatry, restaurant-style dining, and a full activities calendar. Our team takes pride in customized care plans built in real collaboration with residents and their families.

What You'll Do

• Support the Director of Nursing in day-to-day clinical operations, staff supervision, and quality of care

• Own the MDS process: complete accurate, timely assessments and manage the RAI (Resident Assessment Instrument) schedule

• Coordinate care plans with the interdisciplinary team and lead care plan meetings

• Monitor documentation and clinical practice for compliance with state and federal regulations

• Step in as clinical leader when the DON is unavailable

Qualifications

• Current, unrestricted Registered Nurse (RN) license in Florida

• Prior experience as an Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) or MDS Coordinator

• Hands-on MDS (Minimum Data Set) experience

• Skilled nursing facility (SNF) / long-term care (LTC) experience is required

What We Offer

• Full benefits package, 401(k), and paid time off

• A 60-bed building with a supportive leadership team and a close-knit staff

• Direct access to ownership and a nursing leadership team that actually listens
