You will act as a liaison with external agencies to streamline the treatment process, ensuring clients receive appropriate referrals to additional medical and specialty services as necessary. Your expertise will be instrumental in promoting client health through strategic planning of care management and multidisciplinary collaboration with physicians and other healthcare professionals.

As the Nurse Manager, you will be accountable for meeting various compliance requirements including medication inventory management, upholding security protocols, performing physical examinations, and conducting urinalysis screenings per program guidelines. Additionally, you will participate in performance improvement initiatives and generate detailed reports to support continuous quality enhancements within the medical department and affiliated recovery residences.

This full-time position offers a competitive salary along with a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, vision insurance, a 401(k) retirement plan, and generous paid time off accrual. The role presents excellent opportunities for professional growth and the satisfaction that comes from contributing to a critical public health mission.
