Opportunity Snapshot

You have spent several years building a wealth of clinical knowledge -- this is your opportunity to give back to the next generation of Allied Health professionals through education.

"Achieving dreams" sounds like a lofty goal, but at Corinthian Colleges, that's what we do -- help people achieve their dreams by giving them the skills they need to be successful in a wide variety of careers -- and connecting them with employers upon graduation. It's the perfect mix of high ideals and real-world practicality.

Corinthian Colleges is a young and dynamic organization that has quickly grown to become one of North America's largest post secondary education companies. CCi operates more than 100 campuses across the continent as well as a rapidly growing online education division.

We currently offer several Allied Health programs that have clinical externships affiliated with them at 23 campuses nationwide. Your mission as Clinical Placement Manager will be to travel to these campuses and support the Program Directors in acquiring and maintaining clinical affiliations. It is a multifaceted role with a scope that includes everything from organizing and tracking clinical placements to rolling out new programs to working with developers and realtors to plan the architectural layout for new facilities.

Our Requirements

• Licensed RN/CNOR, Certified Surgical Technologist, or Registered Respiratory Therapist.
• 3-5 years of clinical background and hands-on experience dealing with various accreditation bodies; familiarity with JCAHO, CAAHEP, and OSHA a plus.
• Ability to travel approximately 50% of the time.
• Bachelor's degree; a degree in a clinical field is a plus.
• Prior experience with clinical placements is desirable.
• Familiar with ACICS, ACCSCT and ABHES is a plus.

Key Attributes:

• Ability to plan, implement, and track at both the micro and macro levels.
• Ability to handle multiple tasks and/or projects concurrently and adjust to fluctuating priorities.
• Self-initiative and proactive style to work in a fast-paced, performance-oriented environment.

What's in It for You

• Career development -- Corinthian Colleges is both a rapidly growing company and in the education business, making us the ideal place to further develop your career. You will meet with your manager regularly to set goals and carve out your own unique career path.
• Growth & stability in spite of a down economy -- in spite of the recessionary climate we are facing, there's no slowdown here; in fact, challenging economic times often motivate people to go back to school. Our revenue in 2008 was $1 billion, up almost 18% over 2007. We are estimating a revenue of $1.2 billion for 2009. Student enrollment grew 13.2% last year, and we had 76,165 students as of December 31, 2008.
• Strong mission, dynamic environment -- you will support professionals who are helping students build more successful lives for themselves, a mission all CCi employees find quite rewarding. If you haven't been on a college campus lately, we think you'll find the active, energetic atmosphere very motivating.
• Excellent compensation -- in addition to a competitive salary and bonus incentive program we offer an excellent benefit package including a comprehensive healthcare program, a 401(k) plan, and more.

More About Your Role

This is an individual contributor role reporting directly to the Curriculum Manager. Ideally, you will be based from our Santa Ana, CA offices; however, because we have so many campuses around the country, and this role involves up to 70% travel, we are open to discussing other locations.

You will spend the majority of your time in the field at our clinical sites, and the balance in the office evaluating opportunities for new clinical affiliations and providing status updates. Specifically your responsibilities are to:

• Organize and track clinical placements for high-end medical programs.
• Monitor and provide oversight for campuses with programs requiring clinical placements.
• Provide guidance in programmatic accreditation and regulatory affairs.
• Obtain and/or assist in obtaining clinical contracts to meet programmatic accreditation standards.
• Function collaboratively with the respective Curriculum Manager(s) to develop training programs for proper administration of clinical externships, and provide programmatic leadership to campus staff and faculty through conference calls and/or site visits.
• Assist schools with clinical affiliation recruitment.

Keys to Success

To excel in this environment, you will showcase your expertise with programmatic accreditation standards, speaking the accreditation lingo and instilling confidence in our programs; however, your interpersonal skills are where you stand to shine the brightest. With great poise and confidence, (not to mention tact and diplomacy as you will be handling highly confidential medical information) you will build and sustain authentic relationships with the various clinical sites and drive program excellence.

You will also showcase an unflappable "whatever it takes" team-player attitude to get the job done right as you position yourself as the right hand person to the Curriculum Manager and clear his plate by independently taking on more of the clinical placement responsibilities.

And last but not least, you will be fully vested in the success of our programs as you leverage your experience and recommend your own ideas for improvements to push us to the next level.

If this sounds like the right mix of challenge and opportunity for you, and you meet the minimum qualifications, we want to hear from you!
