Expectations –
The Branch Manager will be based in or near Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where the
majority of services will be performed. However, the Branch Manager will be
expected to travel to Des Moines, Iowa for periodic trainings. These sessions
will focus on learning different aspects of the business, understanding the
agency’s culture, becoming familiar with processes and platforms used in daily
operations, and reviewing standard operating procedures (SOPs) essential for
the startup. While some trainings may take place in Cedar Rapids or be
conducted online (yet others may be across state lines), the majority will likely
occur in Des Moines, where the Executive Director will work directly with the
agency senior management team.
The Branch Manager would have assistance from the Home Office in regards to
human resources HR and the payroll department. The BM would be responsible
for recruiting, scheduling, marketing, and all other aspects of running the
business. A new person would not be hired in the office until the office is able to
reach 250 hours of service for two(2) continuous months.
Ideal Candidate
- 5+ years in a leadership or operations management role. Experience healthcare or homecare preferred.
- Proven experience launching or scaling an agency or department.
- Strong knowledge of private pay home care models preferred, including long term care, VA care coordination, and Medicaid waiver programs a plus.
- Business Development – developing referral sources, creating & amp; managing revenue streams, seeking collaborative opportunities, networking, handling inquires, and converting Sales
- Familiar with scheduling systems, workflow design, team management and schedules.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills; builds rapport with clients, families, and team members.
- Calm under pressure, solutions-focused, and highly organized.
