Job description
A bit about us:
We are representing an established 40-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Sioux Falls, South Dakota seeking an experienced Director of Case Management to lead and rebuild its case management function.
This is more than a maintenance leadership role. The incoming Director will have an opportunity to help create a stronger case management team, improve discharge processes, strengthen patient experience, and establish a positive culture within the department.
The hospital currently operates at an average daily census of approximately 40 patients, with all 40 beds configured as private rooms.
The organization strongly prefers an experienced RN case management leader with a BSN and meaningful hospital-based discharge planning experience.
Why join us?
Competitive base salary of approximately $96,000-$110,000
Participation in the hospital incentive plan
Opportunity to build and shape a new Case Management team
Lead a department during a meaningful period of cultural and operational improvement
Direct impact on discharge planning and patient experience
40-bed hospital with all private patient rooms
Relocation assistance available for candidates moving more than 100 miles
Dedicated preceptor support throughout the first year
Direct visibility and partnership with hospital leadership
Opportunity to hire and develop additional full-time Case Managers
Job Details
