Elderwood at Cheektowaga | Cheektowaga, NY Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Leadership

Build Your Career in Healthcare Administration

Elderwood at Cheektowaga is seeking an Assistant Administrator to help lead facility operations and support exceptional care, service, and organizational performance.

We are intentionally considering candidates at different stages of their healthcare leadership careers. This opportunity may be a strong fit for:

An Administrator-in-Training seeking meaningful operational experience

A licensed nursing home administrator interested in an Assistant Administrator opportunity

An assisted living leader ready to expand into skilled nursing and rehabilitation

A healthcare operations or customer-service leader with the potential to grow into facility administration

You do not need to arrive with every answer. You do need to bring sound judgment, initiative, accountability, a strong service mindset, and a genuine interest in learning the full scope of post-acute healthcare operations.

A Leadership Role with Broad Exposure

Working closely with the facility Administrator and department leaders, the Assistant Administrator will gain hands-on exposure to the clinical, operational, regulatory, financial, workforce, and resident-service functions of a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility.

This is not an observational training role. You will be an active member of the facility leadership team, helping solve problems, strengthen communication, support employees, and improve the experience of residents and families.

Why Elderwood?

Elderwood provides the operational infrastructure and leadership support needed to learn, contribute, and grow within a complex post-acute environment.

This opportunity offers:

Hands-on involvement in facility operations

Exposure to clinical and nonclinical leadership functions

Partnership with experienced facility and regional leaders

Experience within skilled nursing and rehabilitation

A pathway toward future Administrator opportunities within Elderwood

The opportunity to make a visible difference for residents, families, and employees

At Elderwood, our mission is People Caring for People. We are looking for a leader who understands that successful operations begin with accountability, collaboration, and service. If y ou are an AIT, licensed administrator, assisted living leader, or emerging healthcare executive ready for broader responsibility, we encourage you to apply.

Responsibilities

What You'll Do

Partner with the Administrator in supporting day-to-day facility operations

Build strong working relationships with nursing, human resources, admissions, business office, social services, rehabilitation, dining, environmental services, and other department leaders

Help monitor operational priorities, quality initiatives, regulatory requirements, and performance goals

Support a responsive, service-focused experience for residents and families

Assist with addressing concerns and ensuring appropriate follow-through

Strengthen communication and accountability across departments

Participate in leadership meetings, operational reviews, and improvement initiatives

Help identify barriers affecting residents, employees, admissions, or facility performance

Support employee engagement and a positive, respectful workplace culture

Develop the operational knowledge and leadership capabilities needed for future Administrator opportunities

Qualifications

Who We're Looking For

We welcome candidates from skilled nursing, post-acute care, assisted living, senior living, healthcare operations, hospitality, or other service-driven environments.

You may be a strong fit if you:

Are pursuing an Administrator-in-Training pathway or currently hold a Nursing Home Administrator license

Have leadership experience in assisted living and want to broaden your healthcare operations background

Understand how strong service, communication, and follow-through influence resident and family trust

Can balance competing priorities while remaining visible, composed, and responsive

Build productive relationships across clinical and nonclinical departments

Take ownership, follow through on commitments, and address problems constructively

Want to develop a deeper understanding of skilled nursing operations, quality, and regulatory performance

Are motivated by the opportunity to grow into greater healthcare leadership responsibility

Prior skilled nursing leadership experience is valuable, but it is not the only path into this role. Candidates with relevant assisted living or service-centered leadership experience are encouraged to apply.
