Field Clinical Supervisor - Registered Nurse

Description

At HealthFlex Home Health & Hospice, we believe the best clinical leaders never lose touch with the patients they serve. That's why we're looking for an experienced RN to step into our Field Clinical Supervisor role, a position designed for nurses who are ready to grow as leaders without giving up the bedside moments that brought them into home health in the first place.

In this role, you'll guide and develop a team of RN, LVN & HHAs, sharing your expertise through hands-on training, shadow visits, and field supervision that shapes how care is delivered across our communities. You'll have a real voice in quality, from leading case conferences and reviewing utilization to digging into the root causes of rehospitalizations and building education that keeps patients safely at home. And you'll still be in the field, completing Start of Care evaluations and seeing patients directly, so your leadership is grounded in real, current clinical practice.

This is a salaried position, which means predictable, guaranteed income every pay period. No more worrying about cancelled visits, slow weeks, or chasing productivity to make your paycheck work. You can focus on doing the job well, knowing your compensation is stable.

If you're a skilled home health nurse who's ready to mentor others, strengthen clinical quality, and make a bigger impact while staying connected to patient care, we'd love to meet you.
