Nurse Supervisor

Description

Behavioral health nursing is not background work. It is the connective tissue of care - the place where medication management meets human complexity, where clinical judgment and compassionate presence are equally required.

West Central Behavioral Health is looking for a Nurse Supervisor who understands that.

We are a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) serving individuals and families across the Upper Valley and beyond. Our nursing team sits at the center of integrated, multidisciplinary care - working alongside psychiatrists, clinicians, case managers, and primary care providers to deliver treatment that is safe, whole-person, and genuinely responsive to each client's needs.

In this role, you will shape clinical practice, and help build something lasting. You will supervise staff, oversee medication management, serve as the critical link between patients and providers, and contribute to quality improvement efforts that make care better - not just for individual clients, but across the agency.

If you are a nurse leader who believes that behavioral health care done well can change lives, we want to hear from you.
