Job Description:

Supporting Des Plaines and Tinley Park Branches

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At Elara Caring, we’re looking for a highly experienced Skilled Home Health RN who is ready to step into a clinical leadership and mentorship role—guiding new clinicians, strengthening preceptors, and elevating care delivery across our branches.

This is not a role for someone new to home health. This is for the nurse others already turn to for guidance—the one who knows OASIS inside and out, understands the realities of the field, and is passionate about developing others.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Designed for seasoned home health clinicians ready to lead and influence

• Direct impact on clinician success, retention, and patient outcomes

• Opportunity to shape orientation, training, and clinical excellence across multiple teams

• Highly collaborative role partnering with Clinical Team Managers and Branch Directors

• A chance to step beyond productivity and into true clinical leadership

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a Clinical Success Mentor, you will bridge the gap between training and real-world field success:

Lead & Elevate New Hire Success

• Guide clinicians through hands-on field orientation, ensuring confidence in:

  • Start of Care (SOC), ROC, Recertifications, and routine visits

  • Real-time clinical decision-making in the home setting

• Partner closely with preceptors and leadership to ensure a consistent, high-quality onboarding experience

• Evaluate readiness, provide feedback, and support clinicians as they transition to independence

Drive OASIS & Documentation Excellence

• Coach clinicians on accurate, compliant documentation

• Reinforce best practices aligned with Medicare, state, and regulatory standards

• Improve outcomes tied to VBP, HHCAHPS, and hospitalization rates

Develop Preceptors & Clinical Culture

• Mentor and support preceptors, strengthening their ability to teach and lead

• Foster a culture of accountability, learning, and clinical excellence

• Identify skill gaps and deliver targeted education and coaching

Support Ongoing Education & Operations

• Collaborate with leadership to implement training initiatives and process improvements

• Facilitate skills labs, competency validations, and ongoing education

• Act as a clinical resource and trusted advisor across branches

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We’re seeking a true home health expert who thrives in a mentorship role:

• Registered Nurse (RN) with active, unrestricted license (multi-state/compact preferred)

• 3+ years of Skilled Home Health experience strongly preferred (not suitable for candidates without a strong SHH background)

• Deep expertise in:

  • OASIS accuracy and documentation

  • Medicare regulations and home health compliance

  • End-to-end home health workflows (SOC through discharge)

• Proven experience as a preceptor, mentor, or informal clinical leader

• Strong ability to teach, coach, and influence clinicians in the field

• Comfortable working across multiple locations in a fast-paced, evolving environment

• Willingness to travel ~50% within the region - need to live in the Northeast to help support the branches

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Competitive compensation + full benefits package

• Medical, dental, vision + 401(k) with match

• Generous PTO + paid holidays

• Tuition reimbursement & free continuing education

• Career growth within a national leader in home health

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you’re a skilled home health RN who’s ready to step out of the field grind and into a role where you can mentor, influence, and elevate others—this is that opportunity.

The base salary for this position is $90,000 to $95,000 annually, based on the company’s good faith estimate at the time of posting
