Symbria has an outstanding opportunity for a customer-service-focused Staffing Coordinator to add to our growing Symbria Rehab Team in Ohio.  In this role, you will coordinate staffing requirements of assigned Rehab/Therapy communities by forming solid work relationships with Rehab/Therapy leaders and existing staff, in a fast-paced - sometimes stressful - environment, address short and long-term staffing goals, identify the full picture of staffing needs and successfully handle the requirements of multiple communities.
