Run the Operation That Makes It All Possible

Behind every patient who receives exceptional hospice care is an organization that runs with precision, purpose, and heart. At Transitions Hospice, our Administrator is the person who makes that possible.

This role is built for an experienced healthcare leader who believes that how well you run an organization directly shapes how well you care for people. You'll own the full scope of hospice operations for your location: the finances, the compliance, the staffing, the culture, and the outcomes. If you're ready to lead an organization where the mission is real and the impact is measurable, this is your next move.


What You'll Do

As Administrator, you're the operational and strategic leader of your hospice location - accountable for everything from regulatory compliance to staff development to financial performance. Your responsibilities include:

Operations & Finance

  • Lead operational planning and budget development to ensure financial stability and efficiency
  • Monitor business performance against measurable outcomes and adjust strategy accordingly
  • Drive the productivity metrics that power your quarterly performance incentive
  • Ensure all services provided by partner agencies are properly authorized by hospice

Compliance & Quality

  • Maintain full organizational compliance with legal, regulatory, and accreditation requirements
  • Oversee quality assessment and performance improvement initiatives
  • Evaluate hospice services and personnel using clear, measurable objectives

People & Culture

  • Ensure appropriate staffing levels across all service hours
  • Lead staff development including orientation, in-service training, continuing education, and competency testing
  • Provide direction and supervision to staff across admissions, discharge, transfer, and patient services
  • Manage conflict and complaints with professionalism and resolution-focused leadership
  • Ensure supportive services are available to all personnel

Communication & Integration

  • Establish and maintain effective communication channels across the organization
  • Integrate technology solutions to streamline operations and improve team connectivity
  • Ensure interdisciplinary care coordination is functioning at the highest-level 

Benefits We Offer

  • Competitive pay
  • Medical / Dental / Vision Insurance plans
  • Long & Short-Term Disability
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Gas Card
  • Company provided equipment
  • Paid Time Off

Why Choose Transitions Hospice?

Transitions has reimagined what hospice can be - and we're looking for an Administrator who wants to be part of that story. You'll have the autonomy to run your location, the support of a mission-driven organization behind you, and the satisfaction of knowing that how well you lead directly shapes the experience of patients and families during life's most important moments. This isn't just an operations role. It's a leadership opportunity with real meaning.
