This community-based behavioral health and social services organization delivers psychiatric and intensive case management services to adults through supportive and project-based housing programs. Rather than operating from a single traditional outpatient clinic, clinicians travel to scattered-site supportive housing locations to provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and follow-up care to adults receiving intensive behavioral health services. The multidisciplinary team includes case management staff, RNs, and NPs to support coordinated, continuous care delivery.

Los Angeles offers a range of attractions suited to varied interests. Iconic landmarks include the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Hollywood Sign, and Griffith Observatory, set within a 4,200-acre urban park. Cultural destinations such as the Getty Center, the La Brea Tar Pits, and the LA County Museum of Art complement beaches along Santa Monica, Venice, and Malibu. Theme parks including Universal Studios Hollywood and Disneyland, along with neighborhoods such as Beverly Hills and Downtown LA, provide further variety. Access to Catalina Island is available via boat from San Pedro.

Clinicians in this role will provide part-time outpatient psychiatric services for an adult population within a community-based supportive housing setting, working day shifts totaling 10 hours per week on-site, inclusive of travel time and note completion.
