Description
Job Title: Off-Shift Nurse Manager
Department: Nursing Supervisors
Location: Rochester General Hospital
Hours Per Week: 40+
Schedule: Off-Shift
SUMMARY:
The Off-Shift Nurse Manager serves as an extension of unit leadership, providing visible nursing leadership during evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays. This role is focused on staff engagement, quality outcomes, patient experience, and operational excellence—not solely crisis management.
Initially, this position will report directly to the Chief Nursing Officer (CNO), with the reporting structure to be evaluated after 6–9 months to ensure alignment with organizational needs and objectives.
The Off-Shift Nurse Manager serves as the visible nursing leader during evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays, ensuring excellence in patient care through clinical leadership, staff engagement, quality oversight, and operational partnership.
This role promotes a culture of accountability, professional practice, safety, and compassionate care while supporting frontline teams and collaborating closely with House Supervisors to ensure seamless hospital operations.
By strengthening staff retention, engagement, and quality outcomes, the Off-Shift Nurse Manager transforms after-hours leadership from a primarily reactive function into a proactive, strategic leadership presence—providing night and weekend staff with the same level of support, coaching, and engagement available during daytime operations.
