Registered Nurse (RN) - Community Mental Health

$70k - $80k

Prosperity Placement Solutions

Job Description

Job Description

Registered Nurse (RN) – Community Mental Health

Job Details

  • Salary: $70,000 - $80,000 annually

  • Job Type: Full-time (W2)

  • Location: Salt Lake County, UT (On-site / Community-Based)

  • Schedule: Monday – Thursday, Day shift with rotating on-call evening coverage (Medical Sub-Team rotation Friday–Sunday evenings)

  • Clinical Setting: Community Mental Health / field services

About the Role

We are seeking an autonomous, clinically strong Community Mental Health Registered Nurse (RN) to provide critical, community-based psychiatric nursing care for adults living with serious mental illness. Working as a fully integrated member of a multidisciplinary team, you will act as the vital bridge between psychiatric and medical care.

Because this role operates directly out of the community rather than a traditional clinic setting, you will have the clinical autonomy to operate independently in unpredictable environments, ensuring that our clients' physical health receives the same meticulous attention as their psychosocial and psychiatric needs.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Lucrative Compensation & Perks: Competitive $70k-$80k base salary with annual merit increases and performance bonus opportunities.

  • Unmatched Work-Life Balance: A robust paid time off program with increased accrual over time, plus 15 paid holidays annually (and yes, that includes your birthday!).

  • True Impact: 100% of your time is dedicated to direct service with program recipients, averaging at least 18 hours of direct client contact per week.

  • Supportive Environment: Benefit from highly supportive leadership and a collaborative clinical environment alongside a Program Manager, Psychiatrist/Prescriber, and SUD counselors.

Key Responsibilities

Clinical & Client Services
  • Community Medication Management: Administer psychotropic medications to clients in community settings, including directly observed oral therapies and long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LAIs).

  • Health Monitoring & Assessment: Conduct independent nursing assessments (vital signs, physical health screenings, and psychiatric symptom observations) directly in the field.

  • Laboratory Coordination: Manage laboratory monitoring protocols—ordering, tracking, and communicating results for metabolic panels, clozapine monitoring, and lithium levels in coordination with the Psychiatrist.

  • Continuity of Care: Coordinate with primary care physicians, specialists, emergency departments, and community health partners to ensure seamless physical healthcare integration.

  • Client Education: Partner with clients to provide guidance on chronic disease self-management, medication side effects, nutrition, and preventative care.

Team Collaboration & Administration
  • Daily Interdisciplinary Meetings: Participate in daily team meetings, delivering healthcare status updates and contributing to comprehensive, shared treatment planning.

  • Informal Leadership: Provide medical consultation, health monitoring advice, and safety protocol guidance to the broader interdisciplinary team.

  • Compliance & Documentation: Maintain detailed, compliant documentation of all nursing contacts and health assessments in the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) according to county, provider fidelity, and agency standards.

Qualifications & Requirements

Education & Experience
  • Degree: Bachelor's Degree in Nursing (BSN) from an accredited program is required. (An ADN with equivalent high-level clinical experience may be considered).

  • Experience: Minimum of two (2) years of clinical nursing experience. Preference is given to backgrounds in psychiatric nursing, community mental health, inpatient psych, or crisis services.

  • Preferred Skills: Experience administering long-acting injectables (LAIs), working with co-occurring substance use disorders, and familiarity with Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) protocols.

Licenses & Certifications
  • Current, unrestricted Registered Nurse (RN) license in the State of Utah (Required).

  • Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing Certification ( RN-BC ) through the ANCC (Strongly Preferred).

  • Active CPR / BLS Certification (Required).

  • Valid Driver's License

Knowledge & Core Competencies
  • Deep clinical knowledge of psychotropic medications (antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, antidepressants, and anxiolytics) and their side effect profiles.

  • Familiarity with co-occurring medical conditions common to serious mental illness, such as metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.

  • Working knowledge of the Utah Nurse Practice Act and UNA ethical standards.

  • Demonstrated ability to function independently in community settings, exercise sound clinical judgment, and respond calmly and effectively in crisis situations.

Full Benefits Package

  • $70,000 - $80,000 base salary (DOE)

  • Annual merit increases and bonus opportunities

  • Robust PTO program with increased accrual rates over time

  • 15 Paid Holidays annually (including your birthday)

  • Comprehensive Medical, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance

  • 401(k) Retirement Plan with employer match
