Spring River Rehabilitation & Care Center | Roswell, New Mexico
Full-Time | Nursing Leadership | $90,000–$100,000/year
Spring River Rehabilitation & Care Center is looking for an experienced LPN ready to step into the Unit Coordinator role at an exciting moment for our building. We have new Administrator and DON leadership in place, and together they're building a strong, dedicated nursing team from the ground up — one focused on accountability, clinical excellence, and genuine care for every resident.
This is a rare kind of opportunity: the chance to be part of the founding leadership team that shapes the culture, systems, and standards of a building on its way up. If you're an LPN who's ready to grow into a true leadership role — with real influence over how your unit runs, mentors, and grows — this is your chance to lead from day one, backed by an administration that is fully invested in your success and the success of the building.
This isn't just a job opening. It's an invitation to help build a strong, lasting nursing team and be part of the story from the very beginning.
As Unit Coordinator, you'll lead nursing operations on your unit within our long-term care community of approximately 110 residents.
You'll report directly to the DON, and you'll be part of a rotating on-call rotation with fellow nurse managers (roughly once every 4–5 weeks). Our Administrator and DON are committed to keeping nursing leadership off the clinical floor day-to-day — this is a leadership role, not a staffing gap-filler — though like any skilled nursing environment, occasional hands-on coverage during emergencies is part of being a true clinical leader.
What You'll Own
- Unit leadership & oversight — visible, hands-on presence on your unit; a go-to clinical resource for CNAs and nursing staff
- Staffing coordination — partnering with nursing leadership on coverage and scheduling for your unit
- Resident care oversight — monitoring care delivery, changes in condition, and consistent standards of care
- Documentation & compliance — ensuring accurate, timely nursing documentation and supporting survey readiness
- Staff mentorship — coaching and developing CNAs and nursing staff on your unit
- Resident & family relationships — being a visible, trusted presence residents and families know they can count on
- Current, active LPN license in New Mexico
- Previous skilled nursing experience (required)
- Previous nursing leadership experience (required)
- A leader who's steady, direct, and genuinely invested in building a strong team and a great place to work
- Salary: $90,000–$100,000/year, based on experience
- 401(k) retirement plan
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid Time Off (PTO)
- Care Cash Program
- Employee Referral Bonus Program
- Education, training, and professional development support
- Real advancement potential — the chance to build foundational leadership experience that will serve your career for years to come
Roswell has a reputation — and it leans into it, in the best way. Yes, the International UFO Museum and Research Center is exactly as fun as it sounds, and downtown Roswell fully embraces its alien-city identity with quirky shops, murals, and a genuinely welcoming small-town energy.
But there's a lot more here than little green men:
- Bottomless Lakes State Park — a short drive out of town, with crystal-clear lakes for swimming, kayaking, fishing, and hiking. It's the kind of place locals treat as their go-to weekend reset.
- Spring River Park & Zoo — free admission, an antique carousel, a kids' fishing lake, and enough charm to make it a regular family outing.
- Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge — a haven for birdwatchers, with thousands of migratory birds passing through.
- Pecos Flavors Winery & Bistro — local wine, local beer, and good food downtown.
- Roswell Museum and Art Center — home to work from noted Southwestern painters, right alongside the region's more otherworldly claims to fame.
It's an affordable, close-knit community where your work is genuinely visible and valued — the kind of place where a nurse leader can make a real, tangible difference and actually see the results.
