Job Description
RIVERVIEW ON THE APPOMATTOX HEALTH AND REHAB | Hopewell, VirginiaLEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITY · REGISTERED NURSE · FULL TIME
Clinical EducatorTeach what you know. Shape who they become.
Hopewell, Virginia
Along the Appomattox River in Hopewell, VA, Riverview on the Appomattox Health and Rehab has built a nursing culture grounded in growth, mentorship, and clinical excellence — and we’re looking for the person who keeps that culture thriving.
There’s a certain kind of nurse who can’t help but explain the “why” behind a procedure — who stays a few minutes longer to walk a new hire through their first complex dressing, who lights up when a struggling CNA finally clicks into confident practice. If that’s you, Riverview on the Appomattox has been waiting. Our Clinical Educator is the heartbeat of our nursing culture: the person who onboards with warmth, trains with rigor, and builds a team that delivers exceptional long-term care every single day.
“The best clinical educators don’t just transfer knowledge — they build confidence. We’re looking for someone who does both.”
