RN- Health Care (Full-Time

Description Make a meaningful difference in your community. Easterseals PORT Health is seeking a full-time Registered Nurse (RN) to join our Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Team. In this role, you’ll provide essential, community-based care to adults living with serious mental health and substance use challenges.

You will develop meaningful relationships with clients, support them through real-life challenges, and ensure seamless continuity of care across community environments. You’ll collaborate closely with psychiatrists, therapists, co-occurring disorder specialists, and other behavioral health professionals to deliver truly integrated care.

At Easterseals PORT Health, we invest in your growth, your well-being, and your ability to thrive in your career. You’ll join a mission-driven ACT Team that values collaboration, community engagement, and exceptional care delivery.
