The Opportunity
If you have spent years building your clinical leadership capabilities and you are ready to step into a role where your decisions shape outcomes at scale, this one is worth pausing for. A well-established, well-resourced community hospital in the Tampa Bay corridor is seeking an experienced Director of Case Management to lead a cohesive team and drive care coordination across a high-volume acute care environment. This is a permanent placement — not a contract, not a lateral step. It is a seat at the leadership table with real departmental authority, direct access to the executive team, and the operational scope to make a measurable difference.
This is a full-time, permanent position operating on a weekday daytime schedule with shifts typically ranging from 7 to 10 hours. Candidates should be prepared for occasional on-call rotations or extended days, as is standard with a director-level role in an active acute care setting. There is one opening available, and it is being filled now.
The organization behind this role is built to take care of its leaders. Compensation is competitive and scaled to experience, accompanied by a 17.5% annual performance bonus. Relocation assistance is available for candidates coming from outside the area, and a sign-on bonus is a possibility for qualified candidates who are not currently affiliated with this health system. The overall benefits package reflects a large, financially stable organization that understands what it costs to attract leadership-level talent.
To be considered, candidates must hold an active RN or LCSW license — with RN strongly preferred. A Bachelor's degree is required; a Master's in Nursing, Health Administration, or Business Administration is preferred. A minimum of 3 years of acute care hospital case management experience is expected, and at least 2 years of case management leadership in an acute care hospital setting is mandatory. This employer values tenure, recent hands-on acute care exposure, and leaders who have demonstrated the ability to develop staff, manage interdisciplinary relationships, and drive sustained department-level outcomes. Backgrounds in remote, work-from-home, or insurance-sector environments are not a fit for this position.
This role is actively moving. If your background aligns with what is outlined here, do not wait — reach out now to schedule a confidential conversation. A five-minute call is all it takes to determine whether this is the right move for where you want your career to go.

The Package
Why Sun City Center?
Sun City Center sits in the heart of the Tampa Bay region, roughly 30 miles southeast of downtown Tampa and less than an hour from the Gulf Coast beaches that draw people to Florida year after year. The community itself is quiet and well-established, set inside a broader metro area that delivers everything a relocating professional or growing family could reasonably want — a strong dining and entertainment scene, professional sports, a thriving arts corridor, and one of the most active job markets in the Southeast. The climate here is genuinely hard to argue with: mild winters, warm summers, and enough consistent sunshine to make outdoor living a realistic part of daily life rather than something you plan around a season.
For families, the region offers solid public school options and suburban neighborhoods that strike a reasonable balance between affordability and proximity to the city. Outdoor recreation is everywhere — Tampa Bay itself, the Hillsborough River, and multiple state parks and nature preserves are all within easy reach. Whether your pace is boating, cycling, fishing, or simply sitting outside on a January evening without a coat, this part of Florida accommodates it. The cost of living, particularly relative to comparable coastal metros, remains manageable — a factor that becomes even more meaningful once Florida's zero state income tax is factored in. For professionals looking to build something in both their career and their personal life, this region offers the conditions to do both at the same time.
