The substance use residential nurse will provide consultation and direct support to two 16-bed programs: Wilson House (Pawtucket) and Jellison House (Johnston). Each of these sites offers trauma-informed, person-centered, and evidence-based substance use disorder treatment for up to 90 days. We promote recovery in safe, home-like environments with an emphasis on building strong treatment communities. The RN is an integral member of an interdisciplinary team that together offers counseling, psychoeducational groups, holistic and mindfulness-based stress reduction, life skills, medication management, care coordination, family support, and more.

Specifically, the RN will deliver quality care by:

• Assessing and monitoring clients for behavioral health or medical symptoms in collaboration with the clinical team.
• Reconciling and documenting medication regiments following admissions or medication changes.
• Providing support and education for clients and staff on the impact of substance use and co-occurring disorders on health and wellness.
• Collaborating with referral sources, external providers, and other agency departments as indicated.
• Assisting in safety planning and crisis assessment and support when needed.

We are seeking an empathetic, caring, energetic nurse for this position. The ideal candidate will have a passion for substance use disorder recovery, works collaboratively within a team, demonstrates commitment to utilizing supervision and consultation, and can exercise sound judgment. Given the high degree of respect and autonomy this person is afforded, we invite those with creativity, flexibility, and a solution-focused approach to apply.

Our team appreciates the value of supervision, collaboration, and client-centered care. As a community mental health center, we understand how social determinants of health impact our client's overall wellbeing, and we work to remove disparities and barriers at systemic, community, and individual levels. We value training and growth and, as such, hire new graduates.

Education/Licensing Requirements: Associates or bachelors degree in nursing required. Rhode Island RN licensure required. Language skills compensated: culturally and linguistically diverse candidates strongly encouraged to apply.
