About the role

Director of Admissions – Skilled Nursing Facility | Brooklyn, NYA large, well-established, family owned skilled nursing and rehabilitation center in Brooklyn is looking for an experienced Director of Admissions to join its leadership team. This is a stable, well-run building. The Administrator has led the facility for many years, the Director of Nursing is steady and established, and ownership is supportive and genuinely open to new ideas. You'll work with a team that has been together for a long time and knows how to get things done. The facility offers a full continuum of care, including short-term rehab, long-term care, on-site dialysis, and adult day health services. That gives you a lot to offer referral sources and families.

What you'll do:

Lead the admissions process from referral through move-in, keeping it smooth and welcoming for patients and families
Build and maintain relationships with hospital case managers, discharge planners, and other referral sources
Review referrals for clinical and financial fit, and coordinate with nursing, social work, and business office on each admission
Manage census tracking, payer verification, and admissions documentation
Work closely with the Administrator and leadership team to keep census strong

Marketing is welcome but optional. If you enjoy getting out into the community and building referral relationships, there's room to grow into that. If you'd rather stay in the building and focus on admissions, that works too.

What we're looking for:

Admissions experience in a skilled nursing facility, ideally in Brooklyn
Familiarity with Brooklyn hospitals, referral sources, and the local admissions landscape
Working knowledge of Medicare, Medicaid, managed care, and private pay
Warm, organized, and responsive, with strong follow-through
Why this role:
Stable, consistent weekday hours, Monday–Friday, 9–5A stable, long-tenured leadership team
Supportive ownership that welcomes your ideas
Competitive, negotiable salary
Full benefits package, including PTO and health insurance

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.
