Description:
HIRING BONUS OPPORTUNITY! At Jefferson Center, it is our policy and our mission to be inclusive and mindful of the diversity of everyone who comes through our doors. We are passionate about building a community where mental health matters and equitable care is accessible to all races, ethnicities, abilities, socioeconomic statuses, ages, sexual orientations, gender expressions, religions, cultures, and languages. Jefferson Center is seeking a Nurse Practitioner to join our Recovery Clinic, a substance use focused collaborative care team. Our phase-based care model will help people thrive by continuously revolutionizing healthcare delivery, using a data-driven and team-based approach. Phase-based care is an interdisciplinary treatment approach rooted team collaboration, data, and measurement, where each member contributes their expertise. The latest team-based clinical practices and tools are employed to help those in need get better fast and maintain their health and wellbeing long-term. We seek to offer our community access to the best behavioral health, substance use, and wellness services starting on the same day they are requested, without exception. We will achieve this while simultaneously creating a work environment where our team has the autonomy, support, and tools to be wildly effective, satisfied, and engaged at work. Brief Description of the Recovery Clinic: The Recovery Collaborative Care team provides immediate, non-crisis substance use and recovery support and therapeutic services for adults 18 and older. This includes Indigent clients and clients with Medicaid or Kaiser insurance. The Recovery Clinic team provides wraparound clinical services from care coordination, initial and concurrent assessments, individual therapy, case management and medication management services. The Recovery Clinic provides services both in-person and virtually Monday through Thursday. As a Nurse Practitioner, you may be a good fit for our team if your values and goals align with ours: Values The people we serve want choice in how they receive services, and it is our job to honor choice. The people we serve have complex challenges and a team model best supports solving those complex challenges. Showing health improvements via measurable outcomes is an important responsibility of providers, both to the people we serve and to those that fund those services. Goals While our use of the phase-based care model has many goals, there are three primary objectives worth emphasizing: (1) dramatic reduction in wait times for accessing care and wait times between interventions in the initial phase of care, (2) increase our resilience to industry wide staffing shortages and record high community demand, and (3) decrease staff burnout.
