About the Opportunity

We are seeking a Director of Nursing to lead nursing operations within a dedicated post-acute rehabilitation environment. This role requires a visible, engaged leader who can operate both strategically and tactically—driving outcomes while maintaining a strong presence on the floor.

This is a leadership position focused on team stability, accountability, and quality of care, not just administrative oversight.

What You'll Do

• Lead all nursing operations across the facility, including RNs, LPNs, and support staff
• Establish and maintain high standards for clinical quality, compliance, and patient outcomes
• Drive staffing strategy, including scheduling, retention, and reducing reliance on agency labor
• Mentor and develop nursing leaders, building bench strength and leadership continuity
• Maintain survey readiness and ensure compliance with all federal and state regulations
• Partner cross-functionally with operations, therapy, and support services to ensure continuity of care
• Oversee departmental budgets, staffing costs, and financial performance metrics
• Implement performance improvement initiatives tied to quality, efficiency, and patient satisfaction
• Serve as a key leader in shaping culture, accountability, and team engagement

What You'll Need

• Active RN license (Ohio)
• 5+ years of nursing experience, including leadership or supervisory responsibility
• Experience within post-acute, skilled nursing, or rehabilitation settings strongly preferred
• Strong understanding of long-term care regulations and survey processes
• Demonstrated ability to lead teams, improve culture, and drive accountability
• Experience with EMR systems (PointClickCare, Epic, or similar preferred)
• Ability to balance clinical leadership with operational and financial oversight

Why This Is Different

• Highly visible leadership role with direct impact on team and patient outcomes
• Opportunity to step into a stabilization-focused environment where strong leadership is needed
• Mission-driven organization with strong regional reputation
• Collaborative leadership team and long-term growth potential
• Ability to influence both culture and operational performance at a meaningful level
