• At least 1 year of nursing leadership/management experience preferred 

• Strong inpatient wound care expertise 

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills 

• A collaborative, approachable leadership style 

• Someone looking for a long-term leadership opportunity, not simply their next title 

 

Why Consider It? 

This is a well-established health system with a strong reputation for clinical excellence, education, innovation, and professional development. You’ll have the resources of a large regional medical center while having the opportunity to make a visible impact on the wound care program and the team you lead. 

And the location is hard to beat. 

• Warm, sunny Southern California climate 

• Hiking, mountains and year-round outdoor recreation
