Why CompHealth
Locum Tenens
You've earned your seat at the leadership table. Let us help you find the right one.
Most clinical leaders didn't start out planning to run a department. They started at the bedside, in the lab, in the gym, or on the unit, developing the skills, instincts, and credibility that eventually led their teams to ask them to step up. Now that you're in leadership, or ready to make that move, the next challenge is finding an organization that deserves what you bring.
CompHealth connects clinical managers, directors, and nursing leaders with permanent opportunities at healthcare organizations across the country. We'll get to know your background and goals, then work to find a role where your leadership can actually make a difference, all at no cost to you.

Nursing leadership
Director of Nursing, Chief Nursing Officer, Nurse Manager, Nurse Supervisor, Nurse Educator

Getting to know you isn’t just small talk. It’s the whole job.
There's a big difference between a recruiter who fills open positions and one who understands what it means to build a team, manage a census, advocate for your staff, and still answer to administration. Our recruiters specialize in clinical leadership placements. They know the difference between a strong clinician and a strong clinical leader, and they know how to tell your story to the right organizations.
What matters to you matters to us
Your clinical specialty and the depth of your management experience
The team culture where you do your best leading
Your geography and whether you're open to relocation
What "the right organization" actually means to you: size, mission, patient population
Where you want to be in five years, not just right now
Once we know you, we start job matching. You won't get a flood of irrelevant listings, just opportunities that actually make sense for you.
What CompHealth handles during your job search
We handle the legwork so you can stay focused on your current team while we work on your next opportunity. Here's what we manage on your behalf:
Identifying opportunities that match your background and goals
Submitting your candidacy and coordinating interviews
Coaching you on how to position your clinical background as a leadership asset
Negotiating your compensation package: base salary, bonus, benefits, and incentives
Guiding you through any credentialing or licensing requirements for your new role
Supporting you through offer evaluation and contract review
Permanent placements only. No travel. No locums.
Our healthcare management division places exclusively in permanent, long-term staff positions. Every role we bring you is one you can grow into. If you're a clinical provider seeking locum tenens or travel work, we can connect you with the right CompHealth team. But if you're building a career in clinical leadership, you're in the right place.
What it costs you
Nothing. CompHealth's services are completely free to you. The healthcare organizations we work with compensate us for finding great leadership talent, so you get a dedicated recruiter, full access to our nationwide network, and expert negotiation support without paying a cent.
10 reasons to use CompHealth to find a healthcare management job:
1. It costs you nothing
No fees, ever. You have nothing to lose by having a conversation.

We can assist with salary, bonus structure, and benefits negotiations so you receive the compensation you deserve.
6. We prepare you for every step
Interview coaching, CV review, offer evaluation, and more. We're with you through the whole process, not just the introduction.
7. We're not just looking at where you are
We look at where you want to go. We use that to find opportunities with real growth potential, not just open headcount.
8. Your recruiter is your advocate, not a gatekeeper
They work for you, not for the facility. Their job is to find you the best possible fit.
9. We have 45+ years of healthcare staffing experience
With over 45 years of experience in healthcare staffing, we have the network and the expertise to deliver.

Is CompHealth the right fit for your clinical leadership search?
CompHealth is a great partner for your search if any of the following sound like you:
You're a working clinical manager or director who doesn't have time to sift through job boards
You've been promoted from within and aren't sure how to position yourself externally for the first time
You know what kind of organization you want to lead, but not how to find it
You're open to relocation but want to make sure the next move is worth it
If any of those resonate, start with a conversation. There's no cost, no commitment, and no pressure.
Frequently asked questions
We see high demand for nursing leadership roles (director of nursing, CNO, nurse manager), rehab and therapy directors (PT, OT, speech), lab managers and supervisors, imaging managers and directors, and department directors across a wide range of clinical areas. That said, we place clinical leaders across many specialties. If you have management experience in a clinical field, it's worth a conversation.
Clinical leadership roles are management positions held by licensed healthcare professionals, people who came up through patient care and now lead the teams and departments doing that work. Healthcare administration roles are typically non-clinical and focus on finance, operations, HR, compliance, and organizational strategy at the executive level. If you're in a non-clinical executive or administrative role, visit our Healthcare Administration and Executive Leadership page.
It depends on your specialty, geographic flexibility, and the level of role you're targeting. Some searches move quickly, especially for high-demand roles like director of nursing or rehab director in high-demand markets. Others take a few months to find exactly the right fit. Your recruiter will set realistic expectations from the start and keep you updated throughout. Because we're often aware of openings before they're posted, your search may move faster than you'd expect.
Your search is confidential. We don't share your information with any organization without your knowledge and approval. You're in control of which opportunities you pursue and when.
Industry recognized. Provider trusted.
