Your Role in Our Mission
As an ACT Team RN, you will work within a multidisciplinary team delivering community‑based behavioral health support. You’ll provide psychotropic medication management, holistic nursing assessments, care coordination, and crisis response — all aimed at helping individuals achieve stability, independence, and improved quality of life.

You’ll collaborate closely with psychiatrists, therapists, co‑occurring disorder specialists, and other behavioral health professionals to deliver truly integrated care.

$75,000 – $90,000 annually , based on experience
Benefits include:
Paid Time Off + 11 paid holidays
403(b) Retirement Plan
Company‑paid Life & Disability Insurance
Company‑issued phone, laptop, and full IT support
Employee Assistance Program
Eligibility for
Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)
What You’ll Do
Medication & Clinical Care
Administer and monitor psychotropic medications as prescribed
Conduct nursing assessments and track symptoms, side effects, and medical issues
Document all care and observations in the Welligent EMR
Care Coordination
Partner with the team psychiatrist to update medication protocols and care plans
Participate in daily in‑person ACT Team meetings to ensure coordinated, person‑centered treatment
Crisis Response
Provide crisis assessment and intervention as part of a rotating on‑call schedule
Community‑Based Support
Deliver nursing care in clients’ homes and community settings
Educate individuals on health management, wellness, and medication adherence
Advocate for client choice and connect individuals with needed community resources
What We’re Looking For
To be successful on the ACT Team, you should be compassionate, flexible, and comfortable providing care in diverse community environments.
Required Qualifications:
