How would you like to be part of a team that cares for each other as much as their patients? At Purpose Healing Center, we believe mental health care is most effective when we support not only our patients, but one another.
We know healing happens when compassionate people bring their whole selves to the work. Every day, our team shows up with empathy, expertise, and a shared commitment to helping individuals imagine a life with purpose.
And sometimes, healing comes with a wagging tail. Our onsite therapy dog, Nora, is a beloved part of our community - offering comfort, grounding, and moments of joy to both patients and staff. Whether she’s offering a quiet presence in common areas or a friendly greeting during a long shift, Nora is a reminder that connection and care come in many forms.
We’re now seeking an Overnight Registered Nurse who embodies that spirit; someone ready to lead with purpose, elevate clinical excellence, and help shape the future of our programs.
Compensation: Earn up to $55/hour, depending on experience
Schedule: 6:00 PM – 6:00 AM
We are currently hiring for the following schedules:
- Wednesday, Thursday, Friday (alternating with) Friday, Saturday, Sunday
