We are seeking a compassionate, skilled, and dedicated Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PNP) to serve as a long-term shift provider within DHS facilities across New York City. This role involves providing comprehensive mental health assessments, psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and crisis intervention services to individuals experiencing homelessness, many of whom present with chronic mental illness, substance use disorders, and co-occurring conditions.

· 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
