Job description

Avir Trilogy is seeking a Director of Nursing to join our team!

We're looking for a Director of Nursing who leads from the floor, not from behind a desk. You'll plan, organize, and direct the day-to-day work of our Nursing Services Department, keeping us survey-ready and in step with federal, state, and local regulations. Just as important, you'll build a nursing team that takes real ownership of resident outcomes, because the tone you set is the care our residents feel every day.

If you're a licensed RN with supervisory experience and you want a role where your judgment carries weight, we'd like to talk.

What You'll Do:

• Direct nursing operations to meet federal, state, and regulatory care standards, and keep the facility survey-ready year round.

• Lead the nursing management team and build ownership of quality goals across the department.

• Run continuous quality assessment and improvement of nursing care delivery, and keep the Administrator current on department activity and issues.

• Help develop and implement plans of action that support each resident's comprehensive assessment and care plan.

• Make daily rounds to confirm care standards are being met and to monitor safety, reporting unsafe conditions and all incidents immediately.

• Audit charts for accuracy and completeness, identify problem areas, and implement corrective action.

• Maintain appropriate staffing levels through work assignments, schedule adjustments, and shift approvals.

• Serve on facility committees including Infection Control, Quality Assurance, and Utilization Review.

• Participate in the Infection Control program, monitoring hand hygiene, isolation technique, dressing changes, linen handling, and medication pass at least monthly.

• Review resident complaints and grievances and document the actions taken to resolve them.

• Monitor weekly skin assessments and bath sheets, and complete the weekly wound report.

• Participate in the nursing on-call rotation.

Exciting Benefits for Director of Nursing:

• Competitive compensation.

• Daily Pay - access your earned wages before payday!

• 401k with a match!

• Company paid holidays and Paid Time Off (PTO) Program.

• Health insurance for the entire family!

• Scrubs on Wheels.

• Voluntary Benefits reviewed and provided at your one-on-one benefit meeting.

• Exceptional Corporate Support.

Qualifications for Director of Nursing:

• Current, unencumbered Registered Nurse (RN) license in the state of Texas.

• Minimum of one year of supervisory experience in a hospital, skilled nursing facility, or related healthcare setting.

• Working knowledge of long-term care operational standards under the Federal Register, Conditions of Participation, and state regulations.

• Ability to work independently, exercise sound judgment, and remain calm under pressure.

• Patience, tact, and a positive attitude with residents, families, and staff.

• Comfort working with residents who are ill, disabled, elderly, or at times upset.

• An active role requiring standing, walking, bending, kneeling, and stooping throughout the day.
