Director of Nursing - Pediatric Day Program Lead with Heart. Nurse with Purpose. Be home for dinner.About the RoleAs our Site Director of Nursing (SDON), you'll be the heartbeat of your center. You'll lead and support a dedicated team of clinical and non-clinical staff, champion quality care for the children and families we serve and help create an environment where everyone - staff and kids alike - feels seen, supported, and valued. Unlike a hospital setting, our children attend regularly, allowing our team to build long-term relationships with families while supporting each child's growth and development. You'll have the opportunity to lead clinical excellence while watching children achieve milestones that many families never thought possible.
This is a Monday through Friday position. No nights, no weekends, no major holidays. Just meaningful work, consistent hours, and a team that shows up for each other.
What You'll DoYou'll oversee the day-to-day clinical life of your facility - from supervising staff (RNs, LPNs, SRNAs, care support) and coordinating care plans to advocating for families and ensuring every child receives the individualized attention they deserve. Working within a multidisciplinary model, you'll coordinate with physicians, therapists, specialists, and community resources to make sure each child's needs are met with both clinical precision and genuine warmth.
You'll also serve as a key leader within The Kidz Club network, keeping your team informed, engaged, and growing - through in-service training, quality assurance, and a consistent culture of excellence and compassion.
