About the role

UPMC Altoona’s 3G Behavioral Health unit seeks a Registered Nurse with leadership experience to serve as Unit Director. Lead the 34-bed inpatient unit, guiding clinical and administrative functions and driving patient-centered care and staff development. You will oversee operations, quality initiatives, regulatory compliance, and strategic planning while collaborating with physicians and multidisciplinary teams to improve patient outcomes and workforce growth.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
