Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

The Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner is a hybrid full-time clinical behavioral health position responsible for the continuity care of a panel of adolescent clients in a residential setting for the care and treatment of psychiatric disorders. The Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner will assess new clients admitted to residential care, work with the interdisciplinary team on diagnosis and treatment options, and manage their psychiatric care from admission through the duration of their care. The Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner also addresses co-occurring conditions directly when appropriate, as well as via referral and care coordination with outside providers. The NP participates actively in regular clinical team meetings and quality improvement activities and collaborates with our program psychiatrist, psychologist, therapists, nurses, case managers, and direct care team members.

The full-time position offers a comprehensive, competitive benefits package, including Continuing Education, as we foster lifelong learning and development. The Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner will enjoy ultimate flexibility and a balanced caseload, providing care in person and virtually three days a week and phone consultation throughout the week.
