Job description

Pinnacle Senior Living, part of The Pennant Group, is looking for experienced leaders who are ready to take the next step in their careers and learn how to lead a senior living community.

We are especially interested in leaders with experience in healthcare, hospitality, logistics, operations, or other environments where leading people and managing day-to-day operations are a big part of the job. Senior living experience is helpful, but it is not required.

About the CIT Program

The CEO-in-Training program is designed to give experienced leaders the opportunity to learn the business of senior living while working alongside an experienced Executive Director/CEO.

The initial leadership development portion of the program is approximately 12 weeks. The length of the overall CIT experience can vary depending on your background, experience, development needs, and available leadership opportunities. Leaders who are new to senior living may spend additional time in the program gaining experience and preparing for an Executive Director/CEO position.

This is a hands-on program. You will be involved in the day-to-day operation of a community and will have the opportunity to learn and contribute across the business.

During the program, you will:

• Work alongside an experienced Executive Director/CEO
• Learn the day-to-day operations of an assisted living, independent living, or memory care community
• Work with department leaders and frontline employees
• Learn how staffing, customer experience, clinical services, compliance, and operations come together
• Gain experience with financial and business performance
• Lead projects and work on real operational challenges
• Build relationships with residents, families, employees, and community partners
• Learn the state regulations and requirements that apply to senior living
• Receive ongoing coaching, feedback, and support as you develop your leadership skills

The goal of the program is to prepare you to successfully lead a community. The timing of that transition will depend on your experience and readiness, as well as available leadership opportunities.
