  • Assess and document medication effectiveness, potential complications, and any side effects.
  • Develop personalized strategies to promote medication adherence and overall wellness.
  • Contribute to individualized treatment plans and participate in daily ACT team meetings.
  • Provide on-call crisis intervention services as part of a rotating schedule.
  • Document all client interactions and care in the Welligent EMR system.

Why Join Our ACT Team?

Community Impact: Deliver care directly in homes, shelters, and community spaces—helping individuals build stability and independence.

Collaborative, Holistic Care: Work alongside therapists, housing specialists, and peer supports to address the full spectrum of health needs.

Patient Advocacy: Go beyond traditional nursing by empowering and educating clients to take charge of their well-being.

Professional Growth: Gain ongoing training and development within a mission-driven organization that values your dedication and growth.

  • Salary: $70,000 – $85,000 annually (based on experience)
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • 403(b) Retirement Plan
  • Paid Time Off + 11 Paid Holidays
  • Mileage Reimbursement
  • Company phone, laptop, and IT support
  • Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) qualifying employer
