Help keep clinical teams supported, facilities staffed, and resident care moving forward across Western New York.

Elderwood Staffing Solutions is expanding its internal clinical float pool and seeking a highly organized, responsive Clinical Staffing Specialist. You’ll coordinate the placement of clinical employees across Elderwood’s skilled nursing and assisted living communities, balancing facility needs, employee availability, clearance requirements, and scheduling commitments.

This is a fast-moving, multi-site coordination role for someone who can see the full staffing picture, respond calmly when priorities shift, and build strong working relationships with clinical employees and facility leaders.

What Is Elderwood Staffing Solutions?

Elderwood Staffing Solutions, or ESS, is Elderwood’s internal clinical float pool. ESS employees work across approved Elderwood locations to help facilities address open shifts, staffing changes, census needs, and other workforce demands.

As the Clinical Staffing Specialist, you’ll serve as a central connection point between ESS employees and participating facilities—helping place the right staff where they are needed most.

Work Arrangement and Travel

This is a full-time, hybrid and mobile position. Work will be performed from Elderwood’s corporate office in Williamsville and onsite at participating Western New York facilities.

Travel will be more frequent during the initial onboarding period so you can meet key facility partners, understand each location’s staffing needs, and establish strong working relationships. Ongoing facility travel will remain part of the position based on operational needs.

A company laptop will be provided so you can work effectively from the corporate office and while supporting facilities onsite.

This Role May Be a Strong Fit If You:

• Enjoy coordinating complex schedules and solving coverage challenges.
• Can manage frequent changes without sacrificing accuracy or follow-through.
• Communicate confidently with clinical employees, facility leaders, and internal partners.
• Build relationships by being visible, responsive, and dependable.
• Are comfortable working independently from different locations while remaining connected to the broader team.
• Understand when a staffing issue requires immediate attention and take ownership through resolution.

• Gain broad exposure to staffing operations across multiple healthcare settings.
• Build relationships with clinical employees, facility leaders, Human Resources, and operational partners.
• Take ownership of work that directly affects staffing stability and continuity of resident care.
