Job Description

About WellSpace Health:

WellSpace Health is the region's largest Community Health System, driven by the mission of achieving regional health through high-quality comprehensive care. WellSpace is accredited by The Joint Commission for Ambulatory Care, Behavioral Health, and as a CCBHC — reflecting an unwavering commitment to clinical excellence for every patient, no matter where they call home.

The Opportunity:

We're seeking a compassionate, experienced Registered Nurse to step into a pivotal clinical leadership role at WellSpace's Bunker Medical Respite/Recuperative Care program — a 24/7 program providing 30-90 days of medical respite, care coordination, medication management, and mental health support to patients experiencing homelessness. This is a chance to lead a mission-driven team and directly shape the quality of care for one of our community's most vulnerable populations.

What You'll Do

• Provide clinical leadership and oversight to a team of 2 LVNs and 8-12 Clinical Support Specialists
• Develop policies, SOPs, and best-practice workflows for a growing recuperative care program
• Train, coach, and mentor staff on medication management, patient intakes, and clinical documentation
• Oversee medication management workflows including patient self-administration, narcotics, disposals, and error prevention in partnership with the Clinical Risk Manager
• Support the Admissions LVN to ensure appropriate patient intakes and clinical evaluations
• Perform RN duties: assessments, medication reconciliation, and nursing functions within scope of practice
• Ensure adherence to Joint Commission standards and drive continuous quality improvement

Required Qualifications

• Current California RN license (graduate of an accredited school of nursing)
• Current BLS certification (or willingness to obtain within 90 days)
• 4+ years of clinical experience with diverse adult populations
• 2+ years of leadership experience supervising LVNs and support staff
• Experience with unhoused communities, substance use, or behavioral/mental health populations
• Strong physical assessment, critical thinking, and communication skills
• EHR proficiency (EPIC preferred)
• Willingness to participate in on-call rotation and occasional weekends/holidays
• Bilingual Spanish a plus

Compensation & Benefits:

• $122,300 - $158,900/year (depending on experience)
• Above-average health benefits at reduced costs
• Company-paid life insurance and long-term disability
• Voluntary retirement plan with company match (no vesting schedule)
• 11 paid holidays, PTO, paid sick leave, bereavement and jury duty leave
• Flexible Spending Program
• Professional development hours offered annually

Why This Role Matters:

This is more than a supervisory RN role — it's an opportunity to build clinical infrastructure, mentor a growing team, and deliver life-changing care to patients who are often invisible in traditional healthcare settings. If you believe in seeing the whole person, building strengths-based teams, and doing mission-driven work that measurably improves lives, we'd love to talk.
