Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

At Better Life Partners, We provide what it takes to heal from addiction. Wherever. Whenever.

Better Life Partners has a specific mission—to help any underserved individual achieve a healthier life filled with belonging, love, and purpose. We do this by working alongside community-based organizations and delivering high-quality care directly to our members. We run a highly agile and mobile organization focused on innovating healthcare while staying true to our values.

Our Mental Health team is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (currently licensed in MA) to provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and to design and implement treatment plans for our members. The majority of members have a dual diagnosis and are receiving dedicated, group-based treatment for substance use disorders in addition to the individual mental health care you would provide. If you thrive in a dynamic remote environment, have an affinity for working with people with dual diagnosis, and have worked in non-traditional settings such as prisons/jails, shelters or street outreach, this is the role for you!

In this role, you will interact with members and families, referral sources, field staff, and members of the local medical community. You will be a resource for members and community partners, guiding them on the path to recovery. You will work side by side with our licensed counselors, helping our members find their way. Your work is essential to the member and your constant feedback will be expected to help them have the best outcome possible. Your vital work will allow members to receive quality care in their communities and help make a better life within reach. Most of the care will be delivered via telemedicine, though we anticipate delivering in-person care in Western Massachusetts.
