Clinical Ethics Director

The Clinical Ethics Director establishes the structure and processes for Ethics Committees and Consultation teams across the designated region, provides expert guidance on clinical ethics and leads the implementation of Proactive Integrative Ethics. The Director offers on-call support for complex cases at all Care Sites in the region and coordinates consultation activities to ensure consistency and excellence. In collaboration with clinical and operational leaders, the Leader ensures that the values and Mission of Intermountain Health are fully integrated into the organization's work. Along with offering a chance to work in a stable, strong, mission-based environment, this role provides the opportunity to experience the Mountain West's diverse culture and incredible landscapes. You'll be able to explore abundant outdoor recreational opportunities, including skiing, hiking, and fishing, as well as stunning national parks and forests, all within hours of where you'll call home. Becoming a part of the Intermountain team means gaining a family and finding a place to plant your roots. Benefits are one of the ways we encourage health for you and your family. Our generous package includes medical, dental, and vision coverage. But health is more than a well-working body : it encompasses body, mind, and spiritual well-being. To that end, we've launched a Healthy Living program to address your holistic health. Healthy Living includes financial incentives, digital tools, tobacco cessation, classes, counseling, and paid time off. We also offer financial wellness tools and retirement planning. With this position, you are eligible to participate in an annual pay-for-performance opportunity ("AP4P"). This plan enables Intermountain Health to provide leaders with an additional performance compensation opportunity. The AP4P opportunities are calculated as a percentage of your base salary. Awards are paid out based on attainment of selected Intermountain Health Board-approved goals. To show our commitment to you and assist with your transition into our organization, we may offer a sign-on and / or a relocation bonus when applicable.
