Job description

Pennant is currently seeking an innovative, proven leader who shares a passion for building, leading, and growing exceptional teams in the Home Health Hospice industry. We are looking to develop entrepreneurial spirited leaders who appreciate the backing of an industry leading company, and mentorship from successful leaders who are simultaneously building their own companies within Pennant. If you are seeking an opportunity to create, innovate and lead your own company with our support, then we have the right opportunity for you!

About the Company

Pennant Services is one of the most dynamic and progressive companies in the rapidly expanding senior living, home health, hospice, and home care industries. Affiliates of Pennant Services now operate more than 104 senior living, home health, hospice, physician services, and home care operations across 14 Western states and we are growing! These operations have no corporate headquarters or traditional management hierarchy. Instead, they operate independently with support from the “Service Center,” a world-class service team that provides the centralized clinical, legal, risk management, HR, training, accounting, IT and other resources necessary to allow on-site leaders and caregivers to focus squarely on day-to-day care and business issues in their individual agencies.

Something else that sets us apart from other companies is the quality of our most valuable resources – our people! We are dedicated to living out our culture as defined by our core values, “CAPLICO”:

Customer Second
Accountability
Passion for Learning
Love One Another
Intelligent Risk Taking
Celebrate
Ownership

By incorporating these principles at all levels of our organization, our employees feel valued and excited about their impact on our service center team members and operational partners. Our culture fosters excellence both personally and professionally and promotes development that leads to continued success.

About the Opportunity

The CEO -In-Training (CIT) role is intended to prepare proven leaders for an Executive Director position, overseeing a Pennant affiliated company (owned by Pennant Group).

The CIT program will consist of hands-on training in all roles within an operation, shadowing clinicians to learn our clinical product, administrative staff to learn the business model, and independent study of regulations and specific curriculum focused on becoming an exceptional operator. In addition, CITs are expected to take on projects and real responsibilities at their host operation and encouraged to identify opportunities and solutions as they master the fundamentals of our business.

Duties and Responsibilities

• The CIT will use the CIT Competency Checklist to assess strengths and weaknesses to determine their objectives.
• Meet with their preceptor (Executive Director) weekly to review CIT Competency Checklist progress.
