About This Position
Manager of Surgical Services (RN) Full-Time | Day Shift | Hospital-Based Leadership | 1 hour from Central Coast, California
We're partnering with a hospital-based surgical services program on California's Central Coast to hire a Manager of Surgical Services (RN). This is a day-shift leadership role for an experienced perioperative RN ready to own people, process, and quality across a surgical services department — without leaving hands-on clinical involvement behind.
Schedule & Compensation
The Role This position blends perioperative clinical expertise with department leadership. You'll oversee daily OR and perioperative nursing operations, manage staffing and workflow, lead orientation and competency development, conduct performance evaluations and coaching, support regulatory readiness and quality initiatives, and participate in budgeting and equipment planning. You'll work closely with nursing leadership and hospital administration with real input into how the department runs.
Who Fits This Role This isn't a narrow subspecialty leadership track — it's a generalist OR management role suited to someone who's circulated across general surgery and understands the full rhythm of a perioperative department, not just one service line. The best fit has already proven they can run a team, not just be part of one: someone who's moved from circulating nurse into charge or supervisory responsibility and is ready for full departmental ownership.
Required Qualifications
Preferred (Not Required)
Practice Environment Hospital-based surgical services department with an active, hands-on perioperative environment. You'll have direct influence over workflows, standards, and staff development — the kind of latitude that's harder to come by in larger, more layered systems.
Physical Requirements Combination of standing, walking, and sitting throughout the shift; ability to lift and carry moderate weight; standard clinical environment exposures.
