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.

The role

Our team is seeking a Per Diem Medical Provider (NP, PA) to provide substance use 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. We are a growing organization 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!

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 9 am to 8 pm Monday through Friday, and from 9am to 5 pm on Saturdays.

• 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

• Massachusetts License as a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant
• Active DEA in state(s) in which you hold a license
• An LLC or PLLC
• Several years of experience in the practice of addiction medicine
• Strong affinity with and compassion for people and communities suffering from addiction
• 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:

• Comfortable and capable of managing the following:
• Urgent & Primary Care

• Mental health conditions

In addition to a competitive compensation package, we’re offering the chance to be the change you wish to see in your community. Help us work toward a future where everyone can have a healthy life filled with belonging, love, and purpose.
