Job Description

Position Summary

The Nurse Practitioner will serve as a core member of the treatment team within a new, 45-bed men’s behavioral health unit operated by Boston Medical Center (BMC) located in the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department’s (SCSD) Jail. In collaboration with a multi-disciplinary team, this role is responsible for providing psychiatric evaluations and psychopharmalogical evaluation and treatment.

This role requires practicing non-judgmental patient centered care and cultural humility in order to care for an impacted patient population who is often marginalized within the healthcare and justice systems.

Individuals who seek full time employment within the department will be considered, and time can be split across multiple department settings.
