Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

Every day, people across Albuquerque face impossible choices between health, housing, safety, and survival. For more than four decades, Albuquerque Health Care for the Homeless has stood alongside our community’s most vulnerable neighbors, providing compassionate care, creating pathways to stability, and championing systemic change. More than 5,000 people each year find support through our integrated model of care, but our impact extends far beyond the walls of our clinic. Through advocacy, partnership, and innovation, we are working to transform the systems that drive homelessness and build a community where everyone has the opportunity to live with dignity, health, and hope.
We are currently looking for a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who is passionate about working with our clients. Our ideal candidate will be adept in psychiatric care, related pharmaceuticals, and substance use disorder treatment.
Our treatment model is integrated with other departments and agencies and the candidate would need to be a strong team player. We believe that there are many pieces to a person's wellbeing and we need a candidate with this holistic approach. The candidate would need to be comfortable in the clinic as well as treating in part of our mobile teams; we have a treat first model that incorporates onsite treatment in outreach settings. Our ideal candidate would have working knowledge of harm reduction philosophies and would be able to embody these ideas with clients.
Compassion for and an understanding of the wide variety of issues for those experiencing homelessness is a must. Trauma is an underlying issue with most of our clients and we need a candidate that has a working knowledge of trauma informed care. Our clinic operates in a shared client model so the candidate would be comfortable sharing clients with multiple practitioners.
We have walk in hours as well as scheduled appointment times for clients. We have no on call hours. Our team is very passionate about public health and our population. If you would like to join a dynamic team, we invite you to apply!
