Vice President Clinical Operations RN

Vice President, Clinical Operations (RN)

Brookfield, WI (Greater Milwaukee Area) | Full-Time | On-Site Executive Leadership

We are representing a privately operated home care organization seeking a highly capable RN clinical executive to lead nursing operations, develop nurse leaders, strengthen quality and staff accountability, and establish dependable clinical systems. This is a visible, hands-on leadership role—not a remote position or a routine field RN assignment.

Local and Wisconsin-based candidates are preferred; however, highly qualified out-of-state candidates willing to relocate will be considered based on relevant leadership experience, demonstrated performance, and career stability. This is an on-site executive position.

Required Qualifications

· Registered Nurse with active, unrestricted authority to practice in Wisconsin by the start date.

· Demonstrated clinical leadership in home care, private-duty nursing, home health, hospice, or a closely related community-based setting.

· Proven oversight of RN/LPN teams, clinical assessments and care plans, quality/compliance, and nurse development.

· Strong clinical judgment, communication, change-management capability, and ability to collaborate with established operations, scheduling and HR leadership.

· Direct participation in an unannounced Joint Commission accreditation survey, with a clearly defined role and follow-up responsibilities, is strongly preferred.

Key Responsibilities

· Provide visible clinical leadership; coach and hold RN/LPN teams and nursing supervisors accountable for reliable, high-quality care.

· Improve clinical scheduling, client assignments and reassessment workflows; implement clear RN case ownership and appropriate nurse-case-manager oversight.

· Lead QAPI, documentation quality, Joint Commission readiness (including unannounced surveys), incident response, infection prevention and clinical competency development.

· Guide oversight of personal-care and higher-acuity in-home nursing services, including important client/family consultations and clinical escalations.

· Partner directly with ownership and existing managers to build sustainable clinical operations and a high-performing nursing culture.

Benefits & Opportunity

· Competitive executive-level base compensation based on relevant experience and agreed responsibilities; additional performance incentives may be developed.

· Primarily office-based, on-site leadership (approximately 80–90%), with local field presence for supervision and key client needs.

· Health, dental, vision and life coverage, employer 401(k) contributions, and paid time off may be available; executive eligibility and terms will be confirmed.

· Potential to earn broader executive responsibility, including consideration for a future President role, based on demonstrated results and mutual agreement.
