Director of Education – Hospice Care
About The Position
At Transitions Hospice, we believe that exceptional end-of-life care begins with exceptional education. Every clinical skill sharpened, every competency verified, every gap closed — it traces back to the educator who made it happen. We've built a hospice organization across four states grounded in compassion, quality, and accountability. Now we're looking for a strategic nurse-leader to own and elevate our entire education infrastructure — connecting what our teams learn directly to how our patients are cared for. If you're an RN who wants your leadership to leave a lasting mark on a care organization — and on the patients it serves — this is your role. As Director of Education, you'll be the organization's education anchor — designing programs, leading state-specific educators, and building the systems that keep our clinical teams sharp, compliant, and confident.
