Assistant Health Care Manager
About the role
Step into a leadership role where your actions directly support safe, high-quality care in a complex and ever-changing correctional health environment. As an Assistant Health Care Manager, you'll partner closely with the Health Care Manager to coordinate clinic operations, support primary care and psychiatry services, oversee nursing staff, and ensure the timely ordering of medical supplies and medications. You'll also play a key role in advancing the electronic medical record system, liaising with Infection Prevention and Control partners, and supporting occupational health initiatives. In this fast-paced setting, you'll regularly support front-line staff in troubleshooting barriers—often navigating competing priorities between healthcare and institutional operations—while collaborating with key partners such as staff sergeants and operational managers to get results.
This role is ideal for a strong, people-centered leader who combines assertiveness with kindness and leads through influence, trust, and collaboration. You'll be responsible for guiding and encouraging your team, while also managing critical HR-related processes such as scheduling and invoicing—making a background in these areas essential. Success requires someone who is highly organized, able to manage multiple priorities, and willing to step in beyond standard hours when needed. A true team player and relationship-builder, you'll foster a respectful and inclusive workplace while driving accountability and performance. For a motivated leader who thrives in a dynamic environment and is committed to supporting both staff and patient outcomes, this role offers a meaningful and rewarding opportunity.
