Typical responsibilities, not a specific posting

The points below describe what employers commonly ask of this role. A real opening will differ, and BEGHR will give you the actual detail before any introduction.

• Separate clinical sessions from protected leadership time.
• Define authority over standards, mentoring and clinical decisions.
• Explain reporting lines, budget input and measures of success.

What to send

A recruiter can only act on what you actually tell them. Give enough that a role can be matched to you without a second round of questions.

• Your resume, the role you want and the geography you would work in.
• The states you hold a license in, and your availability.
• Anything that rules a role out, such as no overnights or no relocation.

Working in the Chicago area

Keep City of Chicago community areas separate from suburban municipalities across Cook, Lake, DuPage, Kane and Will counties. Evanston, Oak Park and Naperville are municipalities, not Chicago neighborhoods. Coverage on this site is limited to Illinois; a hospital in Indiana or Wisconsin falls under a different state licensing board. Let candidates judge their own travel against actual shift times.

Plan Illinois credential checks before the start date.

Assign a person to verify license status, record the date and resolve questions with IDFPR. Check any additional specialty credentials required by the employer with the issuing organization.
