Clinical Director (RN) – Home Health (Startup Leadership Opportunity)

Eventide Visiting Nurse Alliance (EVNA)
South Shore, Massachusetts

A Startup Opportunity - With a Proven Foundation

Eventide Visiting Nurse Alliance (EVNA) is an emerging Medicare-certified Home Health Agency currently in development, and we are seeking a Clinical Director (RN) to help bring it to life.

This is a rare opportunity to join prior to licensure and certification, working directly with the Administrator and CEO to build, shape, and lead a home health agency designed for rapid, sustainable growth.

EVNA is part of William B. Rice Eventide Home, a mission-driven nonprofit organization with over 100 years of delivering compassionate, high-quality care. Backed by an experienced Board of Directors with deep healthcare expertise, we are building on a legacy of excellence while looking toward the future of care delivery.

A Strategic & Supported Launch

We are taking a thoughtful, high-quality approach to launching EVNA:

• Preparing for Community Health Accreditation Partner (CHAP) accreditation
• Partnering with an experienced home health consultant to guide startup, compliance, and operational readiness
• Building infrastructure, systems, and workflows aligned with best-in-class home health agencies
• Establishing strong referral relationships across the South Shore

We anticipate this role beginning in June, with initial focus on startup planning and operational readiness, transitioning into full clinical leadership upon regulatory approval.

A Unique Built-In Advantage

Unlike a typical startup, EVNA is being developed within an established, high-performing active independent living campus, creating immediate opportunity for growth and impact:

• Dwyer Home (Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation) – consistently maintaining a 25–30 short-term rehab census, with ongoing daily discharges creating a strong pipeline for potential home health services
• Fairing Way – a thriving independent living community with 211 apartments and over 250 residents on campus
• Wingspan Outpatient Rehab – our expanding outpatient therapy program supporting continued recovery and wellness

This integrated model provides a natural referral network and continuum of care, positioning EVNA for strong census growth from day one.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Ground-floor leadership role with real influence
• Direct partnership with the Administrator and the CEO
• Opportunity to build clinical operations from the ground up
• Positioned for immediate and sustained growth
• Clear pathway to Director and executive-level advancement
• Supported by experienced Board leadership and industry consultants

What You’ll Do

Pre-Launch (Build Phase):

• Develop clinical policies, procedures, and workflows
• Support readiness for Medicare certification and CHAP accreditation
• Assist in staffing model development and recruitment strategy
• Collaborate on EMR implementation and clinical systems

Post-Launch (Operational Leadership):

• Lead all clinical operations including nursing and therapy services
• Ensure compliance with Medicare Conditions of Participation and state regulations
• Drive quality outcomes, patient satisfaction, and census growth
• Oversee OASIS accuracy, QA, and performance improvement initiatives
• Recruit, mentor, and lead a high-performing interdisciplinary team

Who You Are

• Registered Nurse (RN) with active Massachusetts license (BSN required; MSN or advanced degree preferred)
• 3–5 years of home health experience, with prior leadership experience (Clinical Manager, Supervisor, or Director level preferred)
• Strong knowledge of Medicare Conditions of Participation, OASIS, and home health regulations
• Experience with startup, program development, or agency growth is highly valued
• Experience with or exposure to CHAP or similar accreditation processes preferred
• Demonstrated ability to lead, mentor, and build high-performing teams
• Highly organized with strong clinical judgment and a focus on quality outcomes and patient satisfaction
• A builder mindset, you thrive in environments where you can create, shape, and lead
• Collaborative and solutions-oriented, with the ability to partner effectively with executive leadership

Compensation & Growth Opportunity

We offer a competitive and rewarding compensation structure designed to recognize leadership, performance, and growth:

Base salary: $110,000 – $140,000, commensurate with experience

Performance-based bonus opportunity, tied to:

• Census growth
• Quality outcomes
• Patient satisfaction
• Operational performance

Additional growth-based incentives as EVNA scales

Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, vision, retirement, and vacation and holiday accrual banks that can be used at any time.

A True Leadership Path

This role is designed for long-term growth. As EVNA expands, you will have the opportunity to:

• Advance into senior and executive clinical leadership roles
• Help shape the strategic direction and expansion of home health services
• Play a key role in building a flagship program within a growing organization

Early leadership team members will be uniquely positioned to grow alongside EVNA.
