The Nurse Manager oversees nursing services across two substance use treatment programs, providing clinical leadership and ensuring high-quality patient care. This role is responsible for supervising a multidisciplinary nursing team, including Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), and Medical Technicians (MT's) or Medical Assistants (MAs), in an ambulatory substance use treatment programs setting. The Nurse Manager will ensure regulatory compliance with multiple regulatory bodies including but not limited to OASIS, SAHMA, and DEA. Fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and driving continuous quality improvement initiatives will be central to the success of this role. Through strong leadership and organizational skills, the Nurse Manager ensures that both clinics operate efficiently and deliver safe, evidence-based care to individuals in recovery from substance use disorders.

Key Responsibilities

• Clinical Leadership : Lead and coordinate the nursing staff across two clinics, setting standards for evidence-based care in substance use treatment. Monitor clinical practices to ensure compassionate, patient-centered care for individuals receiving recovery services.
• Staff Supervision and Development : Oversee RNs, LPNs, and MAs, including hiring, scheduling, and performance evaluation. Provide mentorship, orientation for new staff, and ongoing training to ensure all team members maintain competency and adhere to best practices in addiction medicine.
• Regulatory Compliance : Ensure full compliance with all federal and state regulatory bodies and accreditation standards for ambulatory clinics. Maintain policies and procedures that meet state and federal requirements, and prepare the clinics for any inspections or audits by regulatory bodies (e.g. health department or accrediting organizations).
• Interdisciplinary Collaboration : Work closely with an interdisciplinary team of physicians, nurse practitioners, counselors, social workers, and other professionals. Facilitate regular team meetings and case conferences to coordinate comprehensive treatment plans addressing both the medical and psychosocial needs of patients.
• Quality Improvement : Implement and monitor quality improvement initiatives aimed at enhancing patient outcomes and safety. Track key performance indicators (e.g. patient retention, treatment success rates, and incident reports) and use data to drive improvements in clinical protocols and service delivery.
• Clinic Operations Management : Oversee day-to-day clinic operations at both sites to ensure efficiency and consistency. Manage patient flow, triage processes, and resource allocation so that clinics run smoothly and wait times are minimized. Coordinate staffing coverage between the two locations to meet patient demand.
• Policy and Procedure Administration : Develop, update, and enforce clinical policies, protocols, and standard operating procedures. Ensure that all nursing practices (from intake assessments to medication administration and discharge planning) are performed according to established guidelines and evidence-based protocols.
• Patient Care Oversight : Supervise the delivery of direct patient care, especially in high-risk or complex cases. Ensure proper administration of treatments and medications as ordered by providers (e.g. withdrawal management medications or other prescribed therapies), and that emergency protocols are in place for any adverse events.
• Documentation and Record-Keeping : Ensure accurate and timely documentation of all patient care in the electronic health record system. Uphold strict confidentiality (HIPAA compliance) and proper record-keeping practices, including treatment plans, progress notes, and medication records for each patient.
• Professional Development and Support : Foster a positive work environment that encourages teamwork and professional growth. Serve as a clinical resource for nursing staff, providing guidance in challenging situations and promoting continuous learning (such as updates in addiction nursing practices or new treatment modalities). Lead regular staff meetings and communicate organizational updates or changes in policy.
• Safety and Infection Control : Uphold a safe, therapeutic environment for both patients and staff. Oversee infection control measures, medication storage procedures, and workplace safety protocols in the clinics. Investigate and address, and enter reports for any safety incidents or patient care concerns, implementing corrective actions as needed.
