Job Details

Join Cleveland Clinic’s Hillcrest Hospital where research and surgery are advanced, technology is leading-edge, patient care is world-class, and caregivers are family. Hillcrest Hospital is recognized as one of the top hospitals in the country. Here, you will work with and learn from some of our best caregivers, receive endless support and appreciation, and build a rewarding career with one of the most respected healthcare organizations in the world.  

Cleveland Clinic’s perioperative caregivers work in the preoperative, operating room and post-anesthesia care units (PACU). These caregivers are known for being advocates for patients when they don’t have a voice to speak for themselves.

By joining the team as an Assistant Nurse Manager (ANM), you will manage the daily clinical operations of the Perioperative area at Hillcrest Hospital. With an emphasis on professional development and success, you will encourage caregivers to enhance their skills and the patient experience through improvement initiatives and incentives. 70% of your day will consist of staffing responsibilities such as acting as a charge nurse or in an out-of-staff position.
