  About the Opportunity:

  Join our Clinical Operational Leadership Training (COLT) Program and prepare to become a Chief Clinical Officer (CCO) at a Pennant-affiliated company. This paid, 3-4 month program provides real, on-the-job experience, mentorship, and the opportunity to lead your own clinical operation in the future. You’ll dive into clinical management, business strategies, and leadership while receiving guidance from top leaders who will help you develop the skills needed to succeed.

  After completing the program, you’ll have the chance to take on a leadership role as a Director of Clinical Services (DCS/DPCS) .

  • Fast-Paced Growth : This isn’t a traditional desk job! Gain hands-on experience in all aspects of running a healthcare operation—clinical management, leadership, and business strategy.

  • Mentorship : Work with some of the best in the business—experienced leaders who have built successful companies and will help you do the same.

  • Make an Impact : Lead, innovate, and drive change in the healthcare industry while shaping the future of care.

  • Lead Your Own Clinical Team : After completing the program, you’ll have the opportunity to lead your own clinical team at a Pennant-affiliated company. You’ll have the autonomy to build a high-performing team and make key decisions to deliver exceptional care.

  What We’re Looking For:

  • 1-5 years of clinical experience (RN, PT, OT)

  • Bachelor’s degree preferred (MBA or MHA is a plus)

  • Ability to pass state-required licensing exams (varies by state)

  • Willingness to relocate and travel as part of the dynamic, hands-on training program

  • After graduation, willingness to relocate to an opportunity that matches your interests and skills

  Bonus Points If You:

  • Have an entrepreneurial mindset and want to build something from the ground up

  • Love leading and building teams

  • Have experience in marketing or financial management (but not required )

  • Show a long-term commitment to your career path

  What’s In It for You?

  • Career Growth : Constantly learn, evolve, and improve as a leader while taking on new challenges.

  • Autonomy with Support : Lead your own team with the independence to make decisions, but with solid mentorship and resources to help you succeed.

  • Make a Real Difference : You won’t just be working for a paycheck— you’ll be improving lives and shaping the future of healthcare.

  What You’ll Do:

  • On-Site Training : Gain hands-on experience in all aspects of running a healthcare operation, from clinical management to business strategy.

  • Mentorship : Receive guidance from experienced leaders who will help you develop your leadership skills and prepare you for a successful career as a CCO.

  • Pennant Leadership Model : As the right hand of the Executive Director (ED) , you will play a key role in leading the clinical side of the operation. Each of our operations are led by an Executive Director who is empowered to make decisions and drive the success of their team. This local autonomy fosters an entrepreneurial environment where leaders are responsible for their own success, with the support of a broader network.

  The employer for this position is stated in the job posting. The Pennant Group, Inc. is a holding company of independent operating subsidiaries that provide healthcare services through home health and hospice agencies and senior living communities located throughout the US. Each of these businesses is operated by a separate, independent operating subsidiary that has its own management, employees and assets. More information about The Pennant Group, Inc. is available at http://www.pennantgroup.com.

• About the company

  Our home health and hospice agencies and senior living communities operate relatively independently and have no traditional corporate headquarters. Instead, they are supported by a “Service Center,” a world-class team of professional resources that advise on their respective fields of information technology, compliance, human resources, accounting, payroll, legal, risk management, education and other services. This allows on-site leaders and caregivers to focus squarely on day-to-day care and business issues in their individual agency or community.
