Job description

Are you a nurse who enjoys teaching, supporting a team, and helping people succeed?

Inlet Coastal Resort is looking for a hands-on leader to coach and support our wellness team in our family-owned assisted living and memory care community. This is a great opportunity for an experienced LPN or RN who enjoys being out with staff, solving everyday challenges, and helping build a confident, dependable team.

In this role, you'll work closely with our Wellness Director, Resident Care Coordinator, and Executive Director to strengthen staff training, improve follow-through, and keep daily operations running smoothly. You'll help turn expectations into action- whether that means demonstrating a process, answering questions, checking progress, or helping the team find a better way to get things done.

What You'll Do

• Spend time throughout the community, working alongside and coaching the wellness team.
• Help train and mentor new and existing employees, making sure they understand their responsibilities and feel prepared to work independently.
• Provide clear direction, constructive feedback, and follow-up to help staff complete their work accurately and on time.
• Partner with the Wellness Director and Resident Care Coordinator to support resident care documentation, care-plan updates, medication audits, and staff training.
• Review schedules with department leaders to support appropriate coverage and reduce unnecessary overtime.
• Help identify the cause of recurring challenges and put practical solutions in place.
• Conduct audits, track outstanding items, and help prepare for inspections.
• Work with the Business Office Manager to follow up on employee files and onboarding paperwork.
• Assist with daily operations and resident-care coverage when needed, within your license, training, and assigned responsibilities.
• Communicate concerns and progress to the Executive Director.

What You Bring

• An active LPN or RN license.
• Experience working in an assisted living community.
• A supportive, approachable leadership style and a genuine interest in teaching and developing others.
• Strong organization, communication, and follow-through.
• The ability to balance multiple priorities, solve problems, and address concerns respectfully.
• Comfort using email, spreadsheets, scheduling systems, and electronic documentation.
• A commitment to resident dignity, quality care, confidentiality, and teamwork.

Experience That's Helpful

• Supervising or training staff in assisted living, memory care, senior living, long-term care, or another healthcare setting.
• Knowledge of South Carolina assisted living regulations and inspection readiness.
• Experience with staff scheduling, onboarding, documentation, audits, and corrective action.

Schedule and Physical Requirements

This is a full-time, on-site position reporting to the Executive Director. Some evening and weekend flexibility is needed for training, shift observations, and operational support.

The role involves frequent movement throughout the community, standing and walking for extended periods, occasionally lifting up to 20 pounds and supporting up to 50 pounds, and assisting during emergencies and resident evacuations with appropriate training, equipment, and team support. Essential duties may be performed with or without reasonable accommodation.

Inlet Coastal Resort is an equal opportunity employer.
