In this role, you’ll serve as a clinical advisor, mentor, and compliance partner, helping communities strengthen regulatory readiness, elevate quality of care, and drive consistency through auditing, education, and consultation.

Why This Role Stands Out

This role is ideal for an RN with 5+ years of senior living experience, strong knowledge of Missouri and Illinois regulations, and the ability to analyze trends, present findings, and educate leaders in both virtual and in-person settings.

If you’re passionate about clinical excellence, regulatory integrity, and mentoring nursing leaders, this is a chance to make a broad, lasting impact.

Reporting to the Senior Vice President of Operations, the RNC supports Americare’s Flourish Wellness Program, grounded in the ICCA Seven Dimensions of Wellness, while coaching and developing Directors of Nursing and clinical leaders across assigned regions.
