Everbloom Memory Care is seeking a strong, experienced and highly proactive Registered Nurse (RN) to serve as our Director of Clinical Services. We currently serve approximately 22 residents and are growing toward 30 residents. Our community has a strong full-time Administrator overseeing facility operations. We are seeking an RN who can partner with the Administrator and take independent ownership of the clinical department.

Participate in quality assurance and compliance activities. Serve as the primary clinical resource for the Administrator and care team. Take ownership of clinical deadlines and responsibilities without requiring routine follow-up from ownership.

On-Call & Scheduling Support Participate in clinical on-call responsibilities. Provide appropriate clinical guidance after hours when needed. Partner with the Administrator regarding clinical staffing needs. Assist in ensuring adequate clinical coverage.

We are looking for an RN who wants to lead, not simply complete nursing tasks. Our ideal RN sees what needs attention and takes responsibility for getting it completed. They develop their team, anticipate problems, meet deadlines and keep the clinical department organized. Our goal is to have a strong partnership between our Administrator and Director of Clinical Services, allowing each leader to take ownership of their department while working together to provide exceptional resident care and grow the community. If you are an RN who enjoys clinical leadership, developing staff, working with families and helping build a strong Memory Care community, we would love to meet you. #J-18808-Ljbffr everbloommc
