Full Job Description JOB
The primary responsibility of the nurse consultant in the Nursing Home Licensure and Certification Section is to determine compliance of nursing homes with federal and state requirements through inspections. The nurse consultant must apply laws, regulations, rules, and protocols that have been established by the state or federal government. Decisions are made in conjunction with interdisciplinary team members or independently. The candidate must pass the Federal Surveyor Minimum Qualifications Test (SMQT) within 2 years of hire. This position is home-based, preferably in Buncombe, Henderson, Madison, Polk, Transylvania, or a surrounding county, and requires travel within these assigned counties 3-4 days per week. The nurse consultant spends an average of three days per week in nursing homes conducting inspections. Occasionally inspections are required on weekends and night shift. Although management attempts to schedule inspections within a region, the consultant needs to expect overnight stays when the nursing home is greater than 60 miles from their home-base. The remainder of time is spent in the nurse consultant's home-based office and involves completion of survey reports.The State of North Carolina offers excellent comprehensive benefits. Employees can participate in health insurance options, standard and supplemental retirement plans, and the NCFlex program (numerous high-quality, low-cost benefits on a pre-tax basis). Employees also receive paid vacation, sick, and community service leave, as well as 12 annual paid holidays. In addition, paid parental leave is available to eligible employees.
