Job description

Catholic-Based Hospice Care | Milwaukee Area, Wisconsin

Your Leadership Can Be Someone's Peace.

Imagine a job where your strategy, your expertise, and your faith-driven compassion all point in the same direction.

Every day, families in our community face the hardest goodbye of their lives. What they remember isn't the paperwork. It's the nurse who held a hand. The chaplain who stayed a little longer. The team that made them feel they weren't alone.

Behind that team is a leader. We're looking for you.

Who We Are

For more than 100 years, St. Camillus has been a trusted Life Plan Community serving older adults. Inspired by St. Camillus de Lellis, patron saint of the sick, we believe every person deserves to be cared for with dignity, comfort, and love until the very end.

As a Catholic hospice program, we follow the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services. We know that in caring for our clients, we are caring for Christ Himself, fulfilling our mission.

Our hospice program is growing, and we need a visionary leader to take it to the next level.

What You'll Do

This isn't a "maintain the status quo" role. It's a build, shape, and lead role.

• Lead the heart of our hospice. Guide a passionate interdisciplinary team of nurses, aides, social workers, chaplains, volunteers, and physicians.
• Set the standard for excellence. Drive quality improvement, survey readiness, and full compliance with federal and state regulations and CoPs.
• Own the vision and the numbers. Develop budgets, manage financial performance, and make strategic decisions that strengthen the program for years to come.
• Be the face of our mission. Build meaningful relationships with referral sources, providers, and community partners across the Milwaukee area.
• Grow a culture people want to join. Foster compassion, accountability, and continuous improvement at every level.

Why You'll Love It Here

• People over profits. A mission-driven, Catholic non-profit where purpose comes first
• Real influence. Shape the direction of a growing hospice program, not just run it
• Leaders who have your back. A collaborative executive team and supportive culture
• Your health matters too. On-site physician clinic and employee healthcare resources
• Lunch is on campus. Fresh, chef-prepared meals available daily
• You'll feel appreciated. Employee celebration events throughout the year

Benefits that take care of you.

• Medical, dental, vision, 403(b) with employer match, and generous paid time off

Is This You?

You have:

• A Bachelor's degree in Nursing (BSN)
• A current Wisconsin RN license
• 5+ years of hospice or home health experience with strong regulatory knowledge
• 3+ years of leadership experience in hospice or a related healthcare setting

You're known for:

• Deep expertise in CoPs, accreditation standards, surveys, and audits
• Leading clinical operations, quality initiatives, documentation, and IDT performance
• Managing budgets and driving strong operational and financial results
• Building trusted relationships with referral sources and community partners
• Communicating clearly, solving problems calmly, and leading with integrity
• Believing that compassion and accountability belong together

And you're drawn to

work rooted in a Catholic, faith-based mission of care.
