Assistant Administrator (SNF) - Elderwood at Hamburg

LNHA Track | Healthcare Operations Leadership

Elderwood at Hamburg | Hamburg, NY

 

Lead Today. Prepare for What’s Next.

Elderwood at Hamburg is seeking a high-potential Assistant Administrator to support the day-to-day operations of our skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility, while preparing for future Licensed Nursing Home Administrator (LNHA) leadership opportunities.

This is a hands-on, high-exposure role designed for a developing healthcare leader who wants to build real operational depth in a complex post-acute environment.

 

Why Elderwood at Hamburg

• Established, high-acuity skilled nursing facility in the Southtowns
• Strong Administrator and regional leadership support
• Exposure to real operational challenges and decision-making
• Clear pathway toward Administrator-level leadership
• Mission-driven environment: People Caring for People

 

Who This Role is Ideal For

• An emerging healthcare leader ready to step beyond a department-level role
• An AIT or future LNHA candidate seeking real operational experience
• A current Licensed Nursing Home Administrator (LNHA) seeking continued mentorship, collaboration, and exposure to complex operations

 

Why This Role Stands Out

This is not a back-office role. You will:

• Be directly involved in facility operations and leadership decisions
• Gain exposure to every major function within a SNF
• Build the experience needed to move into an Administrator role
