Description

Director of Nursing (DON)

If you're a Director of Nursing (or ready to step into the role), you already know what matters:

A team you can actually lead

Support that shows up when it counts

Expectations that are clear (and realistic)

And a building where your work makes a real difference

If you're not getting that where you are... keep reading.

What you're walking into:

This isn't a "figure it out on your own" situation. You'll have:

A leadership team that's engaged and accessible

Clinical support at the regional and corporate level

A team that wants direction and consistency

The ability to lead-not just react

Are there challenges? Of course. It's healthcare.

But you won't be doing it alone.

And just so you know-

you're not applying into a black hole or talking to a recruiter who's never stepped foot in a building.

You'll be connected directly with our team.

Let's keep this simple:

If you're even slightly curious, let's talk.

No long application. No pressure. Just a conversation to see if this could be a fit-for both of us.

Requirements

What we're looking for:

A current, valid Illinois Registered Nurse license.

Lead a team without losing the human side of leadership

Hold people accountable while still building them up

Stay organized when things get busy (because they will)

Communicate clearly-with staff, families, and providers

Step in when needed, but also build a team that can stand on its own

The Usual Physical Stuff:

You'll be walking, standing, lifting (up to 50 lbs), and occasionally ducking flying juice cups or a very enthusiastic hug from a grateful resident. Bodily fluids happen, but we've got PPE, protocols, and a good laundry team.

What We Offer (besides great coffee and lots of laughs):
  • Competitive pay and comprehensive benefits (health, dental, vision, 401k, PTO-you name it)
  • Career advancement opportunities-we love helping our team grow from within
  • A supportive, family-owned environment that actually feels like family
  • A no-drama, solution-focused workplace culture built on respect, integrity, and genuine appreciation
  • A chance to make a real difference in the lives of residents-and your coworkers

If you're ready to lead with heart, heal with skill, and laugh a little along the way-apply now. We can't wait to meet you.

$105,000.00 - $108,000.00 / yearly
