Job description

Who we are:

At Better Life Partners, we provide what it takes to heal from addiction. Wherever. Whenever.

We work alongside community-based organizations to meet our members where they are, no matter what recovery looks like to them. By combining virtual and in-person counseling, community support, and access to life-saving medication, we help people move beyond addiction to find belonging, love, and purpose.

If you’re looking to roll up your sleeves and meet hard challenges head-on, then we’re looking for you.

Our team is seeking a Medical Provider [NP, PA] to provide whole-person care to people struggling with addiction. This includes treatment of substance use disorders in our opioid use disorder (OUD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) programs, providing medication-assisted treatment in collaboration with our behavioral health team. Through our Responsive Care services, you will provide medical and mental health services to our members, similar in scope to urgent and primary care services. We are a growing organization and are looking for people to grow with us. An ideal candidate will enjoy new challenges and thrive in a changing environment. If you are a caring, dedicated professional who possesses strong communication skills and a true desire to help others, this is the position for you!

The role:

In this role, you will interact with members and families, referral sources, field staff, and the local community-based organizations with whom we partner. You will work side by side with our licensed substance use and mental health counselors, helping our members find their way through their individualized recovery journey. Your work is essential to the members and your constant feedback will be expected to help them have the best outcome possible. Your support will allow members to receive quality care in their communities and help make a better life within reach.

Your work will combine telehealth and potentially in-person care at partner sites within the community. We offer access to care to our members between the hours of 8:30am-8:30pm Monday through Friday, and from 8:30am-5:00pm on Saturdays.

• Performing medical evaluations and initiation of medications for OUD and AUD
• Diagnosing and treating medical and mental health complaints at the level of a primary or urgent care provider
• Co-facilitating group therapy and medical education meetings with a licensed counselor
• Demonstrating and communicating the core values of Better Life Partners
• Participating in Better Life Partners and their community research and public health partners' research and data collection efforts
• Collaborating with Better Life Partners’ interdisciplinary teams on case management and care coordination efforts
• Adhering to professional and ethical work standards
• Maintaining compliance with Federal, state, and local regulations
• Attending and engaging in regular training and company meetings

You are a good fit if you have:

• Maine License as a Nurse Practitioner, or Physician Assistant
• Active DEA in states in which you hold a license
• Several years of experience in the practice of addiction medicine or psychiatry, primary or urgent care
• Strong affinity with and compassion for people and communities suffering from addiction
• Willingness to travel locally in Maine
• Excellent time management and strong attention to detail
• Exceptionally strong work ethic
• Team player with an “all hands on deck” attitude, organized and able to multitask
• A flexible, proactive, and inquisitive approach to improving care delivery processes
• Extensive experience with electronic health records; experience with telemedicine

It will also be great if you have:

• Additional state licenses in New Hampshire, Vermont, and/or Massachusetts a plus
• If no additional state licensure, desire to become cross licensed in the states we operate in
• Live within a commutable distance to our Portland/Scarborough office
• Availability for weekend and/or evening shifts

Work location requirements:

• BLP operates in hybrid and remote work environments, which allows us to better meet our members and partners where they’re located. Candidates applying for this role must be willing and able to travel locally within the communities we serve and/or travel to onsite meetings as expected in coordination with their department and business needs.
