You didn't get into home health to drown in OASIS audits, juggle conflicting budget pressures against patient safety, or feel like the lone manager holding a stretched-thin team together. You got into this work because care delivered in a patient's home is some of the most meaningful work in medicine — and you believed leadership was supposed to make that work easier, not harder.

This role gives you back what most home health leadership positions take away: a true multidisciplinary support structure, a stable Day-One benefits floor that respects the weight of what you carry, and an organization that has been independently certified — by its own people — as a great place to work.

Our client — a Forbes-recognized, Great Place to Work–Certified, faith-based not-for-profit health system consistently ranked among Becker's 150 Top Places to Work in Healthcare and named one of Fortune's Best Workplaces in Health Care — is seeking an experienced Manager of Home Health to lead clinical operations for its Northwest Georgia agency. You'll plan, coordinate, and direct all clinical activities and programs in accordance with regulatory guidelines and professional standards, providing direction across assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of patient care. You'll oversee scheduling, productivity, OASIS accuracy, quality improvement, hiring, and survey readiness — supported by an integrated post-acute platform that connects directly with a 69-bed acute-care hospital, a regional cancer center, surgical services, and a referral pipeline most standalone agencies would envy. You'll function as a valued leader on a multidisciplinary team — not as an isolated manager buried under documentation backlogs and survey panic.

•     True Autonomy — You'll lead with real decision-making authority over scheduling, staffing, and quality programs — directly addressing the #1 protective factor research has identified for home health leader retention. No daily second-guessing from a corporate office three time zones away.

•     Meaningful Caseload, Not Crushing Volume — A 69-bed feeder hospital with a stable referral pattern means a predictable census — not the boom-bust cycle that drives community-system burnout. You'll lead a team caring for patients in the place they most want to heal: their own home.

•     Genuine Multidisciplinary Collaboration — Direct integration with hospital case management, oncology, cardiology, surgical services, and an embedded hospice line — peer support and clinical depth that most freestanding agencies simply can't offer. You're not the only RN leader in the building.

•     Flexibility Where It Counts — Mon–Fri days are your default. Admin call rotates roughly once per month — among managers, not on top of you alone. The schedule is structured so that being a present spouse, parent, or human being is actually possible.

•     Schedule & Work-Life Balance That's Real, Not Marketed — Paid time off begins on Day One — not after 90 days. Four weeks of 100% paid parental leave. A 'whole-person well-being' framework backed by mental-health resources, not just lip service. Pet benefits because your dog is family too.

•     An Employer Whose People Say They Mean It — The system holds Great Place to Work® Certification with 79% of team members rating it a great place to work (vs. 57% at a typical U.S. company), 89% saying they feel good about how the organization contributes to community, and recognition on Forbes' America's Best Employers, Newsweek's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity, and Glassdoor's Best Places to Work 2025.

•     Plan, coordinate, and direct all clinical operations for the home health agency — owning patient outcomes, regulatory compliance, and team performance end-to-end.

•     Lead a clinical team across the full assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation cycle, ensuring care plans match plan-of-care orders and OASIS responses defensibly support reimbursement.

•     Translate operational indicators — staffing, productivity, revenue, expense, quality, HHCAHPS patient satisfaction, and clinical/financial scorecards — into action that improves outcomes and protects margin.

•     Build, coach, and retain a high-performing team: interview, hire, develop, evaluate, and (when necessary) part with personnel in a way that preserves morale and protects culture.

•     Own the quality improvement program, compliance and record audits, and survey readiness — with an experienced regional and corporate quality team behind you, not waiting for you to figure it out alone.

•     Use audit findings to design and deliver targeted education that lifts clinical documentation accuracy, OASIS scoring, and patient outcomes.

•     Partner across the integrated network — acute, surgical, oncology, hospice, and physician practice — to ensure smooth transitions of care and a referral experience that keeps patients in-system.

Required

•     Active Registered Nurse (RN) license — OR — Physical Therapist (PT) license, in good standing in Georgia (or compact-state eligibility).

•     Associate's degree in nursing or a related healthcare field.

•     At least one (1) year of supervisory or administrative experience in a Medicare-certified home care setting.

•     Comprehensive working knowledge of state and federal home care regulations and Medicare Conditions of Participation.

•     Current BLS/CPR certification, valid driver's license, and active auto insurance.

•     Demonstrated written and verbal communication skills appropriate for clinical leadership and external survey contexts.

Preferred

•     Bachelor's degree (BSN preferred) in nursing or a related healthcare field.

•     Five (5)+ years of clinical experience, ideally in medical/surgical or critical care, with the broad clinical instinct that translates to home-based care.

•     Recent (within 3 years) home health field experience and current working knowledge of OASIS-E assessment requirements.

•     Hands-on familiarity with home health EMR platforms (Homecare Homebase, WellSky, MatrixCare, or Axxess) and Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint).

•     Track record of leading state or federal home health surveys with favorable outcomes.

•     Experience translating audit data into education programs that move clinical documentation accuracy.

Compensation

•     Base salary range of $69,563 – $129,389, with final offer commensurate with experience, credentials, and home health leadership tenure.

•     Annual merit-increase eligibility and internal pay-equity review aligned with the system's published pay framework.

•     Eligibility for performance-linked recognition tied to quality, HHCAHPS, and survey outcomes.

Health & Wellness

•     Medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance — all available from Day One, not after a 30-, 60-, or 90-day waiting period.

•     Whole-Person Well-Being resources spanning physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health — built around the system's nationally recognized 'CREATION Life' wellness framework.

•     Robust mental health resources and Employee Assistance Program supporting you and your household members.

•     Pet benefits — because the family that meets you at the door at the end of a long day matters too.

Financial Security

•     403(b) retirement plan with employer contributions — a not-for-profit advantage that meaningfully outperforms many comparable for-profit 401(k) packages.

•     Employer-paid life and disability coverage, with optional supplemental buy-up.

•     Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) for healthcare and dependent care.

Growth & Development

•     Structured career-development pathways into Director of Home Health, Regional Operations, and post-acute executive roles within a 57-hospital, 100,000-team-member national network.

•     Tuition assistance and continuing-education support — with an in-system university option for advanced clinical and healthcare administration degrees.

•     Mentorship and leadership-development programming the system has been recognized for nationally.

Work-Life Balance

•     Paid Time Off accrual beginning Day One.

•     Four (4) weeks of 100% paid parental leave for birth, adoption, and foster placement.

•     Mon–Fri, 8a–5p schedule with administrative call shared on a once-per-month rotation, not concentrated on a single leader.

•     Family-friendly culture in a community where 'I have to leave by 5' is met with 'go take care of your people' rather than a raised eyebrow.

Our client is one of the largest faith-based, not-for-profit health systems in the United States — operating 57 hospital campuses across 9 states, more than 2,000 sites of care, and serving approximately 4 million unique patients across 13.5 million encounters annually. The system's mission centers on whole-person care: body, mind, and spirit. Its 100,000+ team members deliver care under a published wellness framework — Choice, Rest, Environment, Activity, Trust, Interpersonal Relationships, Outlook, and Nutrition — that applies as much to the people who work there as to the patients they serve.

The Home Health & Hospice division operates as an integrated post-acute platform across the system's national footprint, with award-winning patient experience scores, a 'Salute to Nurses' patient-recognition program, and a Health Coach at Home wellness initiative. Recent strategic investments include a #1 ranking on Gartner's Healthcare Supply Chain Top 25, founding membership in the Coalition for Health AI (CHAI), and the first-ever Leapfrog Group Emerald Award for outstanding healthcare quality and safety system-wide.

Locally, the Calhoun-area campus is a 69-bed acute-care hospital with a recently completed $24M expansion that added a new breast center, expanded operating room, and a new cardiac catheterization lab. U.S. News reports 90% of patients are willing to recommend the hospital — a patient-experience ceiling few community hospitals reach. The home health agency you'll lead sits inside that ecosystem.

Calhoun sits in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, almost exactly midway between Atlanta and Chattanooga — about an hour to either downtown via I-75. You get small-town Northwest Georgia cost of living (median rent under $1,200 for a two-bedroom, single-family home prices a fraction of metro Atlanta), no state-tax penalty for living within driving distance of two metros, walkable historic downtown with the GEM Theatre and Harris Arts Center, and immediate access to rivers, lakes, hiking, and the Cohutta Wilderness. It's the kind of community where your kids' teachers know your name, the commute is measured in minutes, and the weekend can include both a downtown farmers' market and a mountain trailhead before lunch.
