Job description

Career Opportunity: Nursing Director with Flying Horse Farms in Mount Gilead, Ohio

What if your nursing leadership experience could help children with serious illnesses spend a week focusing on being kids instead of patients? If you've built a career caring for children and leading teams and are looking for an opportunity where your leadership directly impacts campers and families, we'd love to talk with you.

Flying Horse Farms offers a unique nursing leadership opportunity that extends beyond a traditional healthcare setting. It's a place where children with serious illnesses can swim, fish, climb ropes courses, make friends, and simply enjoy being kids, all while receiving exceptional medical support from a dedicated clinical team.

We're seeking a Nursing Director who is excited to lead nursing operations while helping create life-changing experiences for campers and their families. This role combines pediatric nursing expertise, leadership, operations, and relationship-building in a way that few healthcare positions can.

As a member of the Camp Operations Team, you'll work collaboratively across the organization to support camp-wide readiness, safety, quality, and the overall camper experience. You'll build trusted relationships with campers, families, volunteers, and healthcare partners while helping ensure every camp experience is both safe and unforgettable.

You are comfortable in your stretch zone, whether improvising to hang feeding tubing from a bunk bed at 3 a.m. or tackling a complex organizational challenge. You balance advocacy for clinical priorities with shared ownership of camp-wide goals and are excited to dream big, solve problems, and grow the reach and impact of Flying Horse Farms.

As the Nursing Director, you will:

• Lead year-round nursing and clinical operations.
• Oversee the WellNest medical facility and clinical readiness.
• Supervise the Nursing Coordinator, seasonal nursing staff, and volunteer nurses.
• Recruit, train, and support seasonal and volunteer medical teams.
• Partner closely with the Medical Director and Camp Operations Team.
• Build trusted relationships with campers, families, volunteers, and healthcare partners.
• Help ensure every camp session is safe, prepared, and unforgettable for the children we serve.

What We're Looking For

• BSN in Nursing with at least five years of experience.
• Pediatric nursing experience.
• Demonstrated experience leading people, teams, or clinical operations.
• Active Ohio RN License or Compact License.
• Valid driver's license.
• Valid BLS for healthcare professionals; PALS preferred.
• Strong clinical judgment, organization, and operational management skills.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate, communicate, and build trusted relationships across teams.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and online communication tools.
• Ability to reside on-site during summer and weekend camp sessions is required.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience maintaining PRN clinical practice to keep clinical skills current.
• Self-starter who is comfortable taking initiative and identifying opportunities for improvement.

Why Flying Horse Farms?

• $90,000-$100,000 salary range.
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• Unlimited PTO and flexible work policy.
• Employer-paid disability benefits.
• Retirement plan with employer contribution opportunities.
• Hybrid flexibility during the off-season while maintaining a full-time leadership role.
• Opportunity to lead clinical operations while helping children with serious illnesses experience the joy, independence, and connection that camp provides.
• Work alongside dedicated volunteers, healthcare professionals, and families who are passionate about the mission.
• Opportunity to work for a mission-driven organization recognized as a Top Workplace.
• The chance to make a lasting impact on children and families facing serious illnesses.

Flying Horse Farms is part of the SeriousFun Children's Network founded by Paul Newman and provides free camp experiences for children with serious illnesses and their families. Every member of the team plays a role in helping campers experience the fun, independence, and confidence that camp can provide.
