Infection Prevention Specialist

Hospital based – Hospital experienced.

Lead the work that protects everyone.

 

Some roles keep hospitals running.


This one keeps them safe.

 

We’re seeking an experienced, mission-driven Infection Prevention Specialist to lead and elevate a comprehensive infection prevention program within a highly respected, community-centered hospital.

 

  • This is not a back-office compliance role.
    This is visible, influential, and central to organizational safety.
  • You’ll shape a culture where patient safety, staff protection, and public health intersect — and where your expertise truly matters.

 

High visibility. High trust. Real influence.
You’ll serve as the subject matter expert and advisor to clinical staff, physicians, and executive leadership — guiding infection prevention strategy across the entire organization.

Community impact beyond hospital walls.
From NHSN reporting and HAI surveillance to collaboration with local health departments, your work extends into the broader community.

Prevention, not reaction.
Lead surveillance initiatives. Oversee flu vaccination strategy. Drive hand hygiene compliance. Support water safety programs. Participate in construction risk assessments to proactively reduce infection risk before issues arise.

Mission-driven culture.
This organization is known for professionalism, integrity, and compassionate care. Staff are truly proud of where they work — and leadership is supportive, approachable, and collaborative.

Quality of life matters here.
Low cost of living. Strong community values. A place where you can grow professionally without sacrificing personal balance.

 

What You’ll Own

  • Hospital-wide infection prevention strategy and regulatory compliance
  • Surveillance and reporting of healthcare-associated infections
  • NHSN reporting and data integrity
  • Education for staff, physicians, and patients
  • Annual influenza vaccination program oversight
  • Water safety and hand hygiene initiatives
  • Infection Control Risk Assessments (ICRAs) for construction and renovation projects

This is leadership grounded in science, data, education, and influence.

 

Who Thrives Here

  • Licensed RN (BSN)  or Master’s in Public Health, Respiratory Therapy, or Microbiology
  • At least one year of experience in infection prevention, quality, or public health in a hospital setting having participated in above activities (MUST HAVE)
  • CIC preferred upon hire (required within one year)
  • Strong analytical thinking and comfort with data
  • Confident communicator who can influence across disciplines

But beyond credentials, the right person:

  • Sees patterns others miss
  • Balances regulatory precision with relationship-building
  • Believes culture drives compliance
  • Understands that prevention is leadership

 

If you want a role where your expertise protects patients, supports staff, and strengthens the entire organization — this is it!

 

Not just policy.
Not just reporting.
Real impact. Every day.

 

FOR IMMEDIATE CONSIDERATION:   Send resume to SUE@THI-SEARCH.com

 

Confidential inquiries welcomed.
