Charge Nurse - Lead Care Where It Matters Most

At Redwood Coast Medical Services (RCMS), we don't just provide care-we show up for the communities that depend on us.

We're looking for a Charge Nurse with strong clinical skills and a team-focused mindset-someone who bring significant lead role experience in supporting a team of medical assistants, RN's and medical technicians, or demonstrated leadership roles in other clinical settings.

This is a hands-on position where you'll balance direct patient care with helping keep our clinics and urgent care operating in an organized and supportive setting for a great team of employees. You'll work closely with the Director of Clinical Operations, who leads day-to-day clinic operations of several departments in two locations, while you support clinical flow and serve as a key resource to the team.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Stay connected to patient care while building leadership experience
• Make a meaningful impact in an underserved rural community
• Is an essential leader in a collaborative, team-based care environment
• Be part of improving clinic flow and patient experience

What You'll Do

• Provide direct patient care, including nurse visits, immunizations, and Medicare Annual Wellness Visits
• Support daily clinical operations, program compliance, and safety in patient care
• Serve as a resource for nursing staff, medical assistants, and care teams
• Assist with onboarding and manage the training programs of clinical staff
• Partner with providers and population health teams to support preventive care and close care gaps
• Contribute to quality and patient safety initiatives
• Provide occasional clinical support in urgent care as needed

What You Bring

• Active California RN license
• Experience in primary care or community health (FQHC or rural health preferred), urgent care experience is a bonus for this role
• Strong clinical skills in preventive care, immunizations, and patient education
• Clear communication and a collaborative, problem-solving approach
• Willingness to take initiative, learn quickly, and step in to support the team

Experience supporting or mentoring others is essential for this role.

Why RCMS

• Mission-driven work serving a rural coastal community
• Supportive, team-oriented clinical environment
• Opportunity to grow into a leadership role while staying hands-on

Position Details

• Full-time (1.0 FTE), exempt, at will
• Reports to Director of Clinical Operations

If you're someone who takes pride in patient care and is ready to play a larger role in supporting your team, we'd love to connect.
