Join a Leading, Surgeon-Partnered Ambulatory Surgery Center in Virginia Beach!

Clinical Director Virginia Beach Ambulatory Surgery Center

Virginia Beach Ambulatory Surgery Center (VBASC) is seeking an experienced, energetic, and mission-driven Clinical Director to lead its high-performing clinical team. Our Center - jointly owned by community surgeons and Sentara - is multi-specialty, features four operating rooms and operates as an independent, patient-focused organization. This is an exceptional opportunity to step into a senior leadership role where your expertise, ideas, and vision will directly shape the Centers continued growth and excellence.

As Clinical Director, you will oversee all daily clinical operations, including preoperative, postoperative, intraoperative, and sterilization departments, while supporting and mentoring a dedicated team of ~35 employees (24 FTEs). Each clinical area has an established supervising nurse who reports directly to you, allowing you to focus on big-picture initiatives, quality improvement, and strategic development.

This role is ideal for a leader who thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced, and autonomous environment - and wants to make a meaningful impact on patient care and operational performance.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• No nights, weekends, holidays, or call - enjoy work-life balance without compromising career growth!
• Independently operated center with strong surgeon partnership
• A stable, supportive leadership team and highly engaged staff
• Opportunity to drive quality initiatives, program expansion, and operational innovation

Key Responsibilities

• Provide leadership and oversight for all clinical operations, ensuring exceptional pre-, intra-, and post-operative care
• Maintain appropriate staffing levels and cultivate a positive, high-performing team culture
• Establish performance standards, mentor and coach staff, and participate in hiring and onboarding
• Ensure full compliance with regulatory and accrediting bodies
• Develop and implement clinical protocols, quality metrics, and department procedures
• Lead quality assurance and improvement initiatives - analyzing data, identifying opportunities, and implementing solutions
• Oversight of supply chain, purchasing, and inventory of equipment, medications, and surgical supplies
• Leads Medical Advisory Committee and Total Quality Management meetings
• Assist with budgeting, financial decision-making, and cost-saving strategies that maintain clinical excellence

Qualifications

• Minimum 2 years of operating room experience (required)
• Minimum 2 years of leadership/management experience (required)
• Associate or Bachelors degree in Nursing (required)
• Current RN and BCLS licensure (required)
• CNOR, CAPA, or CPAN certification (preferred)
• Experience with AAAHC accreditation survey process (preferred)

Compensation & Benefits

The Center offers a competitive salary ($110,000 to $130,000+ - commensurate with experience) plus bonus, generous benefits package, and a positive, team-oriented work environment where your leadership truly matters.

If you're a confident, forward-thinking nurse leader looking for an opportunity to influence growth, elevate quality, and lead an exceptional clinical team - this role offers the perfect blend of impact, autonomy, and balance.
