Job description

GreenView Assisted Living

Full-Time | Clinical Leadership

Be the clinical leader the team can count on.

GreenView Assisted Living is looking for an Assistant Director of Nursing who knows great resident care requires more than answering problems as they come up.

It takes strong clinical judgment. Clear expectations. Accurate documentation. Capable caregivers. Consistent follow-through.

As our Assistant Director of Nursing, you’ll work alongside the Director of Nursing to help lead the day-to-day clinical operation of the community.

This is a hands-on leadership role for a nurse who wants to know the residents, develop the team, solve problems, and help build a clinical operation that performs consistently.

You’ll probably love this role if you like to:

• Know what is happening with your residents, not simply what is written in the chart

• Coach caregivers and medication staff to become stronger at what they do

• Catch clinical or operational gaps before they become bigger problems

• Keep assessments, service plans, and documentation accurate

• Build strong relationships with residents and families

• Work directly with physicians, pharmacies, hospice, and other providers

• Lead from the floor instead of from behind a desk

• Step in, make decisions, and help the team execute when things get busy

• Be trusted with real responsibility and clinical judgment

• See a problem through until it is actually resolved

What You’ll Own

You’ll partner closely with the Director of Nursing to help oversee resident care and the Wellness team.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting day-to-day leadership of the Wellness department

• Providing clinical oversight when the Director of Nursing is unavailable

• Completing resident assessments and evaluating changing care needs

• Maintaining accurate resident records, service plans, and clinical documentation

• Monitoring physical, mental, and emotional changes in residents

• Helping ensure resident care meets community standards and regulatory requirements

• Participating in admissions and meeting with residents and families

• Coordinating with physicians, pharmacies, hospice, behavioral health providers, and other clinical partners

• Helping maintain medication-management and documentation standards

• Responding to resident-care concerns and community emergencies

• Participating in clinical surveys and regulatory readiness

• Supporting hiring, onboarding, and development of Wellness employees

• Training and coaching caregivers and medication staff

• Helping build dementia-specific training and staff capability

• Supporting employee accountability and corrective action when appropriate

• Participating in the leadership on-call rotation

• Stepping into direct resident-care responsibilities when needed

Build a Stronger Care Team

A great Assistant Director of Nursing does not simply fix every problem personally.

You help build a team capable of delivering excellent care consistently.

You’ll coach employees on resident care, documentation, communication, dementia care, medication practices, and community expectations.

You’ll recognize strong performance, address gaps directly, and help employees understand not only what the standard is, but why it matters.

Clinical Leadership That Stays Close to the Residents

This is not a desk-only nursing position.

You’ll spend time with residents, families, and employees.

You’ll know when a resident’s condition changes.

You’ll know when documentation does not match what is happening on the floor.

You’ll know where the team needs more training.

And when something needs attention, you’ll help make sure it gets handled.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a nurse with strong clinical fundamentals, sound judgment, and the ability to lead people.

Required:

• Current nursing license in good standing

• At least 2 years of resident-care experience in assisted living

• Strong working knowledge of resident-care standards and regulations

• Experience providing hands-on care to residents with memory impairment

• Experience developing and maintaining resident service plans

• Ability to supervise and coach direct-care employees

• Strong understanding of medication-management standards

• Ability to communicate effectively with residents, families, physicians, pharmacies, and employees

• Strong organization, documentation, and follow-through

• Ability to respond appropriately to resident-care and community emergencies

• Willingness to participate in an on-call rotation

Previous leadership experience in assisted living, memory care, senior living, or long-term care is strongly preferred.

Why GreenView?

Is the team trained?
