Clinic Manager - Hyperbaric Medicine & Practice Operations

Position Overview

We are seeking a hands-on Clinic Manager with a strong clinical background (e.g., MA, EMT, RN, LPN, Practice Manager, or similar) to own and operate the day-to-day performance of our hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) center.

This is a player-coach role that combines leadership, operational oversight, practice administration, and direct patient care. The Clinic Manager is responsible for ensuring the center runs smoothly at all times—with clear communication, strong team alignment, operational excellence, and a consistently high standard of patient experience.

The successful candidate is someone who takes full ownership, communicates proactively, and is comfortable stepping into any part of the operation—including supporting HBOT sessions—to keep the center running efficiently.
