About this job
Health Link Home Health & Hospice
San Francisco, CA (HQ-based, with regular travel to branches in San Francisco, the East Bay, and the South Bay) | Full-time | Reports to [CEO/Administrator] $200,000–$250,000 per year, DOE, plus a discretionary annual performance bonus
The role
For over 20 years, Health Link Home Health & Hospice has served the Bay Area with strong clinical systems and consistent growth. We're hiring a DPCS to own clinical performance across our Bay Area branches — not just administer it.
You'll be the senior clinical leader for Home Health: setting agency-wide standards, supervising branch Clinical Managers, and owning quality, compliance, and patient outcomes. It's a role required by California licensing regulations, with the authority to match.
What you'll own
- Agency-wide clinical direction, standards, and goals across all branches
- Direct supervision of branch Clinical Managers, including hiring, development, and performance
- Clinical outcomes and quality metrics — rehospitalization, patient satisfaction, and appropriate utilization consistent with each patient's plan of care
- Compliance with the Medicare Conditions of Participation, California licensing, and accreditation standards
- QAPI, survey readiness, audits, and Plans of Correction
- A clear line of sight for executive leadership into clinical performance and risk
What you'll need
- Active California RN license in good standing
- Qualification under 22 CCR § 74703(b): an RN with a bachelor's or higher degree in nursing or a health-related field plus three years' experience in the last five years in a home health agency, clinic, or health facility (one year supervisory or administrative); or an RN with four years' such experience in the last five (one year supervisory or administrative)
- Current BLS/CPR certification
- Working knowledge of the Home Health CoPs, California requirements, and OASIS
- Valid California driver's license and reliable transportation, or another reliable way to travel between branches
Preferred: 5+ years of home health clinical leadership; multi-site experience; prior ownership of agency-wide quality metrics.
Benefits
Medical, with dental, vision, and life available.
401(k).
10 days accrued paid vacation.
Paid sick leave per California and San Francisco requirements.
All benefits subject to plan documents.
Health Link Home Health & Hospice is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of any characteristic protected by law.
