Lead where you’re needed most.
NHS Management is a family-owned operator of 44 skilled nursing and long-term care facilities across Alabama, Arkansas, and Florida. We’re looking for an experienced Director of Nursing to join our clinical team as a Clinical Care Coordinator/Interim DON. You’ll step into any facilities in Alabama or Arkansas during leadership transitions, steady the nursing department, raise the standard of care, and set up the next permanent DON for success.

- Partner with the Administrator, Regional Nurse Consultant, and VP of Clinical Services on regulatory and clinical compliance
- Support existing DONs with corrective action plans when needed
- Build trust with nursing staff and create a calm, professional environment
- Help recruit RNs, LPNs, and CNAs for the facility
- Orient and hand off to the incoming permanent DON so the transition is smooth
What You Bring
- Active Registered Nurse (RN) license in good standing
- 5+ years of experience as a Director of Nursing in a skilled nursing facility (preferred)
- Strong working knowledge of federal and state long-term care regulations
- Proven leadership, organizational, and problem-solving skills
- Sound independent judgment; you can walk into a building and take charge
- Strong clinical assessment, documentation, and communication skills
- Comfort with electronic health records
- Willingness to travel extensively and accept open-ended assignments with extended stays away from home
Why NHS Management

- High-visibility role working directly with regional and executive clinical leadership
- Variety: new facilities, new challenges, real impact
- Benefits: health, dental, vision, 401(k), PTO
