Unity

Overview

Determined, compassionate, caring and people-oriented. The vice president and chief nursing officer of Unity Center for Behavioral Health requires the best qualities of today's professional. To perform at the highest level in this role, demanding qualities are required to thrive within two seemingly opposing realms. On the one hand, the vice president creates strategic policies and programs of care for all of Unity Center's patients. On the other hand, the candidate performs with ease in the trenches where policy and program work get done. While the candidate sets staff goals and priorities, the leader also provides the support and infrastructure to achieve success. As with all high achieving leaders, a deft touch with people and exceptional communications skills are a must: The vice president and chief nursing officer holds employees accountable for performance and conduct but not at the expense of prioritizing staff morale and productivity. Above all, this leader exemplifies the ideals of diversity, equity and inclusion. Doing the right thing is the only choice for the vice president and chief nursing officer.

The qualifications of the vice president and chief nursing officer of Unity Center for Behavioral Health reflect a multi-dimensional leader. A graduate degree in nursing is required as well as at least eight years of diverse health care and administrative experience. This includes a minimum of three years in a clinical nursing leadership role. This is a unique and ambitious opportunity where bona fides reflect a candidate who can operate expertly at every level - from the strategic leadership level to the yeoman's work in the trenches where patient care gets done. All of these experiences and skills are complemented by the ability to connect with staff emotionally and compassionately but in a way that prizes patient care and safety above all else.

We strive to be a diverse, culturally responsive organization, and encourage individuals with diverse backgrounds and those who promote diversity and inclusion to apply.
