Job description

Claiborne Senior Living is seeking an experienced and driven Assistant Executive Director to lead and oversee the operations of our Assisted Living and Memory Care areas on our Senior Living Campus in Baton Rouge, LA.

This is more than an operations role — it is a leadership opportunity to shape culture, drive performance, and create an environment where residents thrive and team members grow.

If you take ownership of results, act with integrity in every decision, remain focused on excellence, and believe that culture truly matters, this may be your next leadership chapter.

Why you’ll love this role

• Help shape a welcoming community where residents feel at home and team members feel supported.
• Partner closely with the Executive Director and department leaders across the community.
• Build meaningful relationships with residents and families while making a visible difference in their daily experience.
• Put your leadership skills to work across operations, team development, resident experience, and community growth.
• Be part of a team guided by clear values and a shared commitment to excellent service.

What you’ll do

• Support the Executive Director in overseeing daily operations and step in to lead the community when needed.
• Coach department leaders and team members, address challenges, and help create a positive work environment.
• Partner with Wellness, Life Enrichment, Dining, Sales, and other teams to deliver a consistent resident experience.
• Welcome prospective residents and families through tours, move-in preparation, and the New Resident Welcome Program.
• Help maintain a safe, compliant community by monitoring training, inspections, documentation, and service standards.

What we’re looking for

• A bachelor’s degree or equivalent education, plus at least two years of long-term care experience.
• A licensed administrator with proven leadership experience in a healthcare setting.
• Sound judgment and confidence making operational, financial, and budgeting decisions.
• A collaborative leader who can resolve problems, communicate clearly, and build trust with residents, families, and staff.
• Flexibility to participate in the Manager on Duty rotation and be present on evenings, weekends, or holidays as needed.

Benefits

• Competitive salary with performance-based incentives
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Company-paid life insurance
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Short- and long-term disability
• Critical illness and accident insurance
