The Role

We are looking for a compassionate Psychiatric Registered Nurse to join a community based organization. This is a unique hybrid role blending psychiatric nursing, care coordination, and community-based case management.

Approximately 75% of care is delivered in client homes and community settings rather than a traditional clinic. You will be the primary link for individuals with serious mental illness, helping them maintain stability and move forward in their recovery.


Key Responsibilities

  • In-Home Assessments: Conduct health and mental status assessments in the community or via telehealth.

  • Medication Management: Provide education, monitor adherence, and track side effects.

  • Care Coordination: Collaborate with an interdisciplinary team, including psychiatry and primary care providers.

  • Crisis Intervention: Use trauma-informed clinical judgment to respond to crises; participate in a shared on-call rotation.

  • Community Support: Transport clients in your personal vehicle to medical appointments and provide clinical guidance to LPNs.


Qualifications

  • License: Active Illinois RN license (or eligible within 60 days).

  • Education: Associate Degree in Nursing required (BSN or MSN preferred).

  • Certifications: BLS or ACLS.

  • Experience: 0–2 years of mental health experience; early-career nurses are welcome!

  • Requirements: Valid IL driver’s license, reliable personal vehicle, and auto insurance (100k/300k).

  • Mileage Reimbursement
