About The Position
AWS is seeking a passionate Registered Nurse to join our Behavioral Health Home (BHH) program. If you are looking to step away from traditional hospital shifts and transition into a consultative, office-based setting, this role offers a highly stable daytime schedule without nights, weekends, or on-call demands. In this role, you will partake in our team-based approach for clients managing severe mental illness alongside chronic, complex physical health conditions. You will collaborate daily with a multidisciplinary team consisting of a Clinical Lead, Nurse Care Manager, Team Leads, Case Managers, a Peer Support Specialist, and two Psychiatric Consultants. This position is focused on medical consultation, interdisciplinary collaboration, health education, and client advocacy.

- Comfort navigating Electronic Health Records (EHR) and standard office software for data-driven care coordination.
