Registered Nurse

Job Title: Registered Nurse

Job Summary:

CASES is seeking a committed and compassionate Registered Nurse to join our Forensic Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) team. This is a powerful opportunity for a nurse who wants to practice in the community, support individuals with complex behavioral health needs, and play a direct role in reducing the harms of criminal legal system involvement.

As part of this mobile, multidisciplinary team, you’ll help deliver a full spectrum of integrated services that support recovery, stability, and independence. FACT clinicians work together to help clients secure housing, build meaningful relationships, manage symptoms, pursue employment, and improve overall quality of life.

In this role, you’ll provide medication management and administration, conduct health assessments, offer counseling and psychoeducation, and promote wellness and recovery. You’ll practice within the core principles of ACT, professional nursing ethics, and regulatory standards; while enjoying the autonomy and variety that community‑based work provides.

This is more than a nursing job. It’s a chance to be part of a team that believes in people’s ability to recover, rebuild, and thrive and to use your clinical expertise to make that possible.

Shift Hours: This position is full-time Monday – Friday from 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM.

Salary: The salary for this role is $100,940 per year.

Location Address: 25 Chapel Street, Brooklyn, N.Y. 11201. Our offices are easily accessible by public transportation.

Workplace Flexibility: Flexible - Staff have the flexibility to complete their workday from home or another suitable space, typically after reporting to the office and/or engaging in field or community-based work.

What You Will Be Doing:

• Deliver at least 80% of nursing services in the community, including medication administration (oral and injectable), health assessments, psychoeducation, and monitoring of medication side effects and adherence.
• Conduct health screenings and coordinate care with primary care, specialty providers, hospitals, shelters, housing providers, and other service systems.
• Collaborate with prescribers, Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), and multidisciplinary team members to support participant health and recovery goals.
• Complete timely and accurate documentation, including progress notes, assessments, and incident reports, in compliance with OMH, DOHMH, and Medicaid standards.
• Use trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and recovery-oriented approaches in all services.
• Participate in team meetings, case conferences, and on-call rotations as assigned.
• Promote integrated care and improved health outcomes for participants with complex medical and behavioral health needs.
• Help ensure we maintain a safe working environment by reporting any hazards or unsafe conditions, e.g., liquid spill in the hallway, to the appropriate facilities staff member or supervisor.
• Any other duties as required by Team Leader and senior clinical leadership.
