As the Infection Control Nurse, you serve as the primary guardian of safety within our nursing care facility. This position is critical to our mission of providing high-quality, secure care for our residents while maintaining strict compliance with federal and state regulations. You will act as the bridge between clinical practice, administrative oversight, and regulatory standards, ensuring that our facility remains a safe environment for both residents and staff.
In this role, you will lead the development, implementation, and evaluation of our comprehensive infection control program. Your day-to-day work involves a dynamic mix of direct patient care, staff education, and strategic planning. You will conduct rounds to monitor isolation precautions, review laboratory reports to track infectious disease trends, and collaborate with the Director of Nursing Services to refine care plans for residents with communicable diseases.
Beyond clinical duties, you will play a pivotal leadership role in our culture of safety. You will chair or actively participate in the Infection Control Committee, guiding policy revisions and ensuring that all departments—from laundry to environmental services—adhere to aseptic techniques. You will also be responsible for training staff on critical topics such as bloodborne pathogens, TB management, and proper hand hygiene, fostering a workforce that is vigilant and well-prepared to prevent outbreaks.
Candidates selected for an interview will undergo a review of their professional credentials and experience in long-term care settings. The process includes a discussion of your approach to epidemiology, microbiology, and aseptic technique, as well as your ability to interpret and implement complex regulatory guidelines.
We are an equal opportunity employer committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. We welcome applications from all qualified individuals regardless of background, race, religion, gender, or other protected characteristics.
