Director (RN) Case Management
Full-Time | 0.8–1.0 FTE | Western Montana
The Opportunity
This is a newly opened Director-level position at a well-established, Joint Commission-accredited acute care hospital in Western Montana. Reporting directly to the Chief Nursing Officer, you will have real authority to shape and grow the case management program — not inherit a rigid structure, but build on a strong foundation with executive-level backing.
A $20,000 sign-on bonus (two-year commitment) and up to $10,000 in relocation assistance with receipts are available for the right candidate.
Compensation is competitive and negotiable based on experience.
The Role
As Director of Case Management, you will lead the case management function across the hospital, overseeing the nursing process from patient admission through discharge or transfer. You will act as a patient advocate, a program leader, and a mentor — working at the intersection of clinical care, operational efficiency, and patient outcomes.
This is a hands-on director role with meaningful scope: you will influence care coordination strategy, support a skilled case management team, and serve as a key voice at the nursing leadership table.

Why Western Montana
Western Montana is not a compromise — it is a destination. The region sits in a broad river valley ringed by the Bitterroot, Rattlesnake, and Mission mountain ranges, with world-class fly fishing on the Clark Fork, trail systems that open the moment the snow lifts, and a university town energy that keeps the cultural calendar alive year-round. Winters are real but navigable. Summers are genuinely spectacular. The cost of living remains low relative to comparable outdoor recreation markets, and the community has a sense of place — locally owned restaurants, a thriving arts scene, independent bookstores — that larger metros rarely match. If you have been watching Montana from a distance, this is a legitimate entry point.
