I left my job as a supervisor in January because of my manager.

I left my job as a supervisor in January because of my manager. She did not give me specific directions or expectations, provided ambivalent answers when I requested advice and lied frequently to cover her basis. The director and HR knew about her poor management and rude style, but did nothing. I said enough after two years! I am actively searching for a new role preferably remote, however, I don’t want to supervise staff if possible. I will enjoy working in a team doing projects, or as a data analyst. It would have to be as entry level because I don’t have a strong Project background, although I informally conducted small projects successfully. Any other ideas as of roles that allow me to work more independently? I have a MHA degree with 5 years of management experience and 15 years in clinical. Thanks in advance.

    Sorry to hear about your job departure!
    It's brave of you to walk away and I commend anyone who chooses what's best for them. Respect on that.

    Now as for independent contributor role options, you have wide options. Have you looked through Fairygodboss' job board? They also have a resume drop coming up soon, so I would submit your info there.

    There are quite a few remote job boards out there, and healthcare / healthcare management is booming right now. I'd say google up some local + virtual hiring fairs in that industry. I would also search for remote job boards and that should lead you to a few options as well.

    While you search for job, look at ways you can grow your skillset too. Take that cert you want, go to that workshop to network...all I'm saying is...you've gotta keep putting yourself out there. Go to LinkedIn and post about what you're looking for next. Search for recruiters on LinkedIn who are hiring for healthcare management roles. You've got this!!

    Good luck to you!! I hope something exciting finds you soon.

    not sure what area you've worked in the past, but have you considered anything in long term/skilled care? there's a ton of opportunity in this arena on LinkedIn.

    I have not, but certainly will look into this. Thanks!
