Job Description

Director of ICU

Riverside County, California

Critical Care Leaders: Here's What Actually Matters

The Reality: Our Southern California health system client seeks an ICU Director who gets it. Not just the metrics (though ours are platinum-level), but the 2 am decisions, the team dynamics, the families counting on us.

Your Monday might look like: Morning huddle with multi-disciplinary team members serving ICU/SICU/MICU/CVICU patients - Strategic meeting with CNO - Bedside mentoring with new grads - Innovation planning session - Home knowing you made a real difference

Let's be honest about what you're walking into:

• A team ready for fresh leadership (not resistance to change)
• Direct line to CNO (your ideas will be heard)
• Award-winning foundation already built (2025 Stroke Center of Excellence, ACC Platinum)
• Autonomy and support to actually implement your vision

You're probably wondering:

"Will I just be managing schedules?" No. You'll be transforming care delivery.

"Is this another bureaucratic nightmare?" We move fast. Your initiatives can launch in weeks, not years.

"What about work-life balance?" Real flexibility, not just words. Plus relocation support that actually helps.

Non-negotiables:

• California RN/BSN
• 5+ years critical care leadership
• CV (Cardiothoracic), Neuro, Surgical, and Medical ICU experience
• Passion for developing others

The bottom line: If you've been waiting for a role where your leadership directly impacts both patient outcomes AND team culture, let's talk.
