· Maintain accurate, timely, and HIPAA-compliant documentation in electronic health records (EHR).

· Participate in case conferences, quality improvement activities, and clinical supervision.

· Refer patients to higher levels of care or community resources as needed.

· Provide psycho education to clients, families, and staff regarding diagnoses, treatment plans, and medication adherence.

· Remain on-call for shift-based clinical needs as required (depending on assignment site)

Qualifications:

· Current NYS license and registration as a Nurse Practitioner in Psychiatry (PMHNP-BC required).

· DEA license and NPI number in good standing.

· Minimum 1–2 years of psychiatric experience, preferably in community mental health or shelter-based settings.

· Experience working with homeless, marginalized, or high-needs populations strongly preferred.

· Excellent clinical, communication, and organizational skills.

· Ability to work independently and manage caseload effectively during assigned shifts.

· BLS/CPR certification. Preferred Traits:

· Motivational interviewing and harm-reduction skills

· Familiarity with DHS systems or New York City public health infrastructure

· Flexibility to work at multiple DHS sites across the five boroughs
