Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in Bennington, Vermont at Balanced Wellbeing

Balanced Wellbeing Nationwide provides psychiatric care to older adults in skilled nursing and assisted living facilities across several states. Our psychiatric nurse practitioners deliver compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to residents who need it most. They do it with strong clinical leadership and the mentoring to grow.

This position combines in-person visits at skilled nursing and assisted living facilities in your area with telehealth visits from home. You’ll build relationships with facility teams and residents face to face, and use virtual care to stay flexible and keep your caseload consistent. Your mix of on-site and telehealth days is set with you during onboarding, based on the facilities you cover.
