About this role
Come Lead a Team That Actually Feels Like One
If you're a nurse who wants more than a title, someone who likes running a unit well, building up the people around you, and going home knowing your residents were cared for right, we want to talk to you.
As Unit Manager, you'll be the person your team looks to. You'll set the tone, solve the problems, and make sure the care on your unit is the kind you'd want for your own family. It's a real leadership role with real support behind you.
What You'll Do
Run the day-to-day on your unit and keep care running smoothly.
Lead, coach, and back up your LPNs and CNAs — the good managers are the ones their staff actually want to work for.
Stay close to your residents: assess them, keep care plans current, and catch changes early.
Work alongside physicians and the rest of the team to make the right calls.
Keep documentation accurate and stay ready for surveys and audits.
Watch staffing and assignments so your team has the coverage it needs.
Be the steady point of contact for residents and their families.
What You Bring
A current, active RN license in Alabama.
At least two years of nursing experience — long-term care or skilled nursing is a big plus.
Some experience leading a team or running a shift.
A solid handle on CMS rules, the survey process, and good documentation.
Steady leadership, clear communication, and the kind of calm that keeps a unit together on a busy day.
Current CPR certification.
What You Get From Us
Pay that reflects what you bring to the table.
Full benefits — health, dental, and vision.
Paid time off and 401k plan options.
Real chances to grow and move up.
Sourced from a public job board.
