Executive Director, LNHA

Community Name: Friends Fellowship Community Role Overview / Why This Role Matters We are seeking a dynamic, transformative and entrepreneurial-minded leader who can: • Oversee all campus operations (clinical, residential, support services, finance, etc.) across the lifecycle of care (independent → assisted → skilled → rehab). • Drive growth and strategic expansion into new senior services. • Be a visible and trusted leader to staff, residents, families, and the local community. • Partner closely with a strong, engaged Board of Trustees and benefit from a handoff period with the current administrator. • Work within, and help shape, the culture and systems of United Church Homes, while bringing fresh ideas suited to FFC’s mission and community. You’ll be joining during a pivotal growth phase—this is not a maintenance role. We want someone who can scale, innovate, and lead. Key Responsibilities • Provide strategic leadership and execution for all facets of operations: resident care, clinical services, staffing, regulatory compliance, quality outcomes, financial performance, marketing, facility management, and culture. • Collaborate with UCHM executive leadership to align local and system-wide strategies. • Develop new service lines or expansions (e.g., home health, expanded rehab, memory care, wellness services). • Lead performance metrics, quality assurance, resident/staff satisfaction, and accreditation efforts. • Work closely with the Board of Trustees—present budgets, strategy, risk assessments, and opportunities. • Mentor and empower leaders across the departments (clinical, business office, facilities, hospitality, etc.). • Act as a community ambassador: representing FFC externally—local government, referral sources, physician groups, churches, civic groups. • Oversee recruitment, retention, staff development, and culture-building across the campus. What We’re Looking For Qualifications & Experience • Licensed Nursing Home Administrator or equivalent as required by the State of Indiana. • Minimum of 4 years’ leadership experience in senior living / long-term care / continuum of care settings, ideally including planning and launching new services. • Strong financial acumen—budgeting, P&L responsibility, capital projects, forecasting. • Proven ability to lead growth, manage change, and scale operations. • Skilled in managing multiple stakeholders simultaneously (board, corporate, families, staff). • Excellent communication, relationship-building, and conflict-resolution skills. We're an equal opportunity employer. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status.
