THE HEALTHCARE INITIATIVE

Where Talent Meets Opportunity

 

Director of Emergency Services

Permanent | On-site | Midwest

 

This Director of Emergency Services role is intentionally designed for experienced ED Supervisors, Clinical Coordinators, and Managers who are ready to step into their first Director seat.

 

The hospital is seeking a steady, hands-on leader with strong ED clinical roots and leadership experience — even if that leadership has been in other clinical areas, who is ready to broaden scope with the support of a new CNO focused on structure and accountability.

 

Why this role is different

  • This is not a “prior Director title required” search
  • Readiness, judgment, and operational credibility matter more than title
  • Director-level influence with a hands-on leadership presence
  • Built for leaders who’ve been operating at the next level already

What You’ll Do:

  • Daily operations, staffing, throughput, and patient experience.
  • Coaching and support for Charge Nurses, travelers, and frontline staff.
  • Cultural reset after several years of leadership turnover.
  • Hands-on leadership.
  • Regulatory readiness and improvement of key metrics such as LOS, LWBS, door-to-provider times, and patient satisfaction.

Background they are open to

  • RN required
  • Bachelor’s degree and 3-5 years of experience or 7+ years of progressive clinical ED experience in lieu of Bachelor’s
  • 3-5 years of previous leadership experience in the ED and/or other clinical areas
    (Supervisor, Clinical Coordinator, Manager, Team Lead)

If you’ve been preparing for a Director role and want the right first opportunity, this is worth a confidential conversation.

 

This role comes with a great benefits package that includes health and dental coverage, paid time off, a 401(k)-retirement plan, flexible spending options, and life and disability insurance.

 

To Learn More: To apply or schedule a confidential phone conversation, please send your resume (MS WORD format preferred) to tania@thi-search.com, or call Tania Pena at (720) 735-9750.
