• Review clinical records and monitor practices to protect outcomes, patient and family satisfaction, and compliance
• Build strong relationships with physicians, referral partners, community organizations, and the Professional Advisory Committee
• Represent hospice in community education, helping neighbors understand the hospice benefit
• Coordinate with other providers and service lines so transitions of care, including to and from palliative care, feel seamless for families

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

• A Registered Nurse license in your state of practice, or another clinical license that meets state hospice requirements
• A bachelor’s degree in nursing, healthcare administration, or a related field (a master’s degree is a plus)
• 3 to 5 years of progressive leadership experience in hospice or end-of-life care, including at least 1 year in a clinical management role
• A leader who develops people, builds trust, and brings calm to competing priorities and tight deadlines
• Strong written and verbal communication, and comfort with EMR systems and Microsoft Office
• A valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and the ability to travel locally between patient homes, care facilities, and our offices
