Why You’ll Love This Opportunity:

• Independent & Non-Profit: Unlike corporate facilities, we prioritize patient care over profits. Our focus is on delivering the best possible care to our residents.
• Manageable Census: Typical census of 46-50 residents, you’ll find the workload reasonable and rewarding, enabling you to focus on quality care and resident relationships.

• Strong Leadership Team: You’ll collaborate with a highly experienced and respected Director of Nursing (DON) and a leadership team committed to teamwork and trust.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist the DON in overseeing nursing operations to ensure the highest standards of resident care.
• Supervise and mentor nursing staff, fostering a supportive and growth-oriented environment.
• Ensure compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations.
• Participate in staff training and the onboarding of new employees, including trainees from our partner trade school.
• Contribute to quality improvement initiatives, ensuring excellence in resident outcomes.

What We’re Looking For:

• Current RN license in good standing (Missouri license required).
• Proven leadership experience in a long-term care or similar setting.
• Exceptional organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills.
• Passion for mentoring and developing nursing staff.
• A commitment to upholding our mission of compassionate, high-quality care.

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• A collaborative and supportive work environment.
• Opportunities for professional development and growth.
• The chance to make a meaningful impact in a trusted and valued community institution.
