Quality Assurance Manager
Quality Manager | High-Impact Leadership Role | LTACH (Athens, GA)
Step Into a Visible Leadership Role—With Real Influence
A growing hospital network is seeking a Quality Manager to lead quality, risk, and patient safety initiatives at a 42-bed Long-Term Acute Care Hospital (LTACH) in Athens, GA.
This is not a back-office role—you’ll work closely with the Hospital CEO, partner with clinical leadership, and drive measurable improvements in outcomes for medically complex patients with extended stays (~25 days).
If you’re looking for ownership, visibility, and the ability to truly shape how care is delivered , this is a standout opportunity.
Why This Role Stands Out
• Direct access to the Hospital CEO —high visibility and influence
• Autonomy to lead and implement initiatives (not just maintain them)
• Tight-knit hospital environment—less bureaucracy, more impact
• Monday–Friday schedule —no weekends
• Opportunity to build and elevate quality, risk, and safety programs
What You’ll Own
• Lead Quality & Performance Improvement initiatives across the hospital
• Drive regulatory compliance & accreditation readiness (CIHQ-aligned)
• Oversee risk management, infection prevention, and patient safety programs
• Spearhead survey readiness and continuous improvement efforts
• Analyze quality metrics and outcomes to guide decision-making
• Utilize quality tools (e.g., root cause analysis ) to improve processes
• Partner closely with clinical and operational leadership to elevate care
What You Bring
• 3+ years of experience in Quality, Risk, or Infection Control in healthcare
• Experience with regulatory/accreditation processes (The Joint Commission or CIHQ)
• Active clinical license (RN, RT, or similar)
• Experience with EMR/EHR systems
• Strong analytical and leadership skills
Preferred:
• Acute care or hospital-based experience
• CIHQ certification (or willingness to obtain)
Compensation
• $96,000 – $105,000 base salary (with flexibility)
Benefits
• 4+ weeks PTO
• 401(k) with match
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Tuition reimbursement up to $15K
• Disability and life insurance
About the Organization
Part of a privately owned hospital system specializing in transitional care for medically complex patients , this facility offers the stability of an established network with the feel of a close-knit team environment.
Why Athens, GA?
• Home to the University of Georgia
• Vibrant college-town energy with a strong community feel
• Easy access to Atlanta (~1 hour away)
• Affordable living with great dining, culture, and outdoor activities
Interested? If you’re looking for a role where you can influence outcomes, work directly with leadership, and make a meaningful impact quickly , this is worth a conversation.
