We are seeking an experienced Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a strong background in geriatric psychiatry to provide on-site behavioral health services within skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and long-term care facilities. As the fastest growing provider of psychiatry services to the nursing home and LTC sector in the Northeast — and now expanding into multiple states beyond the Northeastern region — we offer seasoned clinicians the opportunity to practice at the top of their license within a stable, high-demand environment.
This is a financially lucrative opportunity designed for advanced providers who are confident managing complex geriatric cases, polypharmacy challenges, and neurocognitive disorders. Our model allows experienced Psychiatric NPs to build consistent patient panels, establish themselves as behavioral health leaders within facilities, and further catapult their careers in the geriatric psychiatry space.
We offer a robust clinical infrastructure supported by Senior Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners and on-staff Psychiatrists for collaborative case discussion and high-level clinical support when needed. Leadership understands the realities of advanced practice and remains accommodating and respectful of providers’ personal responsibilities, promoting balance while maintaining clinical excellence.
