Assistant Director of Nursing

At Cura Health, we are looking for a passionate, experienced, and dedicated Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) to join our leadership team. The ADON plays a vital role in supporting the Director of Nursing in overseeing the daily operations of the nursing department while ensuring the delivery of exceptional, resident-centered care. This position provides clinical leadership, mentors and supports nursing staff, promotes regulatory compliance, and fosters a positive work environment built on teamwork, accountability, and compassion.

If you are a nurse leader who is passionate about developing others, improving quality of care, and making a meaningful difference in the lives of residents every day, Cura Health is the perfect place to grow your career. We are committed to creating a supportive environment where leaders are empowered to collaborate, innovate, and continuously improve the care we provide.
