Join the ACT Team as a Psychiatric RN – Use your psychiatric skills to impact the stigma of mental illness and make a Difference in the Community! NOT your typical nursing job. Get out of the box with US!!!!
Are you a compassionate, dedicated psychiatric RN looking for a career change from bedside to community where you can make a difference in clients’ mental health in their own living environment?
Do you want a change of pace from the confines of inpatient care, expand your autonomy and be part of a dynamic, community-focused team? This position is responsible for the FULL care of participants in the ACT (Assertive Community Treatment Team). This evidence based model has extensive and positive outcomes. Be a part of our change!
Access Behavioral Health Services is looking for a passionate Psychiatric RN to join our Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Team that provides expert care to individuals with serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI) right in the heart of the community!
At Access Behavioral Health, we believe in meeting people where they are – not just behind an office desk or at the bedside. Whether you're in the field or in the clinic, you'll be providing care much like you do in the hospital but you’ll have the time to spend with each client that demonstrates the genuineness of your care. Our clients face complex challenges, and you’ll be part of a team-based approach that assists them over the roadblocks which makes recovery possible without the hospital re-admissions.
You became a nurse for challenging, rewarding, and truly meaningful work, here is your opportunity to dive in?
Position: Psychiatric Registered Nurse (RN)
Location: Boise, ID (Community-based & In-office)
Pay: $33.00 - $40.00 per hour
Schedule: Full-time with paid trainings. Flexible hours that can be scheduled to meet needs, but 40 hours per week is expected relatively consistently.
Expected Hours: 40 hours per week
Why You’ll Love It Here:
Competitive Pay: $33 - $40 per hour, with full-time hours and career growth.
Comprehensive Benefits: Health, dental, vision, life insurance, paid time off, 401(k), and more!
Career Development: Flexible scheduling and opportunities for professional growth, tuition reimbursement (HRSA when available), and additional training.
Flexible Schedule: We look forward to working with you to meet your needs and offer a balance between work and life.
Positive Work Environment: Work with a fun, passionate, and supportive team that values collaboration and growth.
Community Focused: This isn’t your typical "stuffy office" job. You'll be out in the community, providing hands-on care to those who need it the most.
What You’ll Do:
- Community-Based Care: Provide vital nursing services to individuals in the ACT Team who are dealing with serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI). You'll get out of the office and directly engage with clients where they live, work, and interact.
- Collaborate with the Team: Work with an interdisciplinary team of professionals (including social workers, therapists, and case managers) to develop and implement care plans, manage medications, and provide essential mental health support.
- Medication Management: Assess, educate, and manage medications for individuals, ensuring timely refills and coordination with other medical providers.
- Crisis Support: Assist with crisis interventions, provide risk assessments, and help clients access inpatient care if needed.
- Client Education: Provide education to clients and staff on medication, mental health, and wellness in both group and one-on-one settings.
- Comprehensive Support: Help clients develop healthy coping mechanisms, navigate resources, and foster a strong support network, while tracking progress and adjusting care plans as needed.
- Community Engagement: Represent Access Behavioral Health in a positive and professional manner within the community. You’re not just providing care—you’re building relationships and making a lasting impact.
- On-call Support: Be part of a humane on-call system to support the ACT Team in the field when needed.
What We Need from You:
- Active RN License: Must be licensed as a Registered Nurse in the state of Idaho.
- Experience: One year of psychiatric or behavioral health experience is preferred.
- Reliable Transportation: You’ll need a valid driver’s license, insurance, and a vehicle (or access to a company vehicle).
- Strong Communication Skills: You’ll need to engage with a diverse range of clients, family members, and professionals, and be able to communicate clearly and empathetically.
- Ability to Learn: Knowledge of community-based interventions, and mental health service delivery models is helpful, or be willing to learn quickly.
- Team Player: Must be able to work well within a multidisciplinary team and collaborate with colleagues to provide comprehensive care.
- Crisis Intervention: Ability to perform risk assessments, develop safety plans, and provide crisis support when necessary.
Why This Job is Different:
This isn’t your typical office job. Yes, you’ll have some time in the clinic, but most of your time will be spent out in the community, providing real-time support to individuals who need it the most. You’ll work closely with individuals facing serious mental health challenges and substance abuse issues, and you’ll make a difference in their daily lives.
Working on the ACT Team means collaboration is key. It’s a team-based approach where everyone brings their expertise to the table. Sure, it can be challenging at times—helping clients manage complex needs—but it’s also incredibly rewarding and interesting. The team’s goal is to provide comprehensive care that meets each person’s unique needs, and you’ll be there to help make it all happen.
