We offer ongoing training and development opportunities for licensed and unlicensed healthcare team members, and have best in class clinical resources for training, education, and point of care support.

How you make a difference

The Nurse Practitioner provides on-site medical services by examining referred patients, conducting clinics, rounds, and responding to urgent and emergency situations. The role delivers ongoing medical care by diagnosing conditions, prescribing treatment plans, managing chronic care, and providing Medication Assisted Treatment services, including induction, follow-up, and medication management. The position documents care, orders and interprets labs, adheres to established policies and formularies, and supports continuity and standards of care within the facility.

Key Responsibilities

• Examine patients, conduct sick call, chronic care clinics, and infirmary rounds, and respond to health emergencies.
• Diagnose conditions, prescribe and manage treatment plans, and provide ongoing medical and MAT-related care.
• Conduct MAT assessments, inductions, follow-up appointments, and manage medication continuation and titration.
• Order and interpret laboratory tests and drug screens and utilize appropriate in-house and referral resources.
• Document patient encounters, maintain confidentiality, and comply with established policies, procedures, and standards of care.

Additional Details

Ideal candidates will have strong experience in substance use disorder treatment, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), and chronic disease management, with the clinical judgment to independently assess, diagnose, prescribe, and manage patients in a correctional setting. They should be comfortable with CIWA/COWS assessments, MAT inductions and medication titration, ongoing SUD follow-up, lab and drug screen interpretation, and detailed clinical documentation.

Experience with CalAIM, Medi-Cal, justice-involved populations, and coordinated reentry or continuity-of-care services is especially valuable.

Candidates should also be adaptable enough to support general jail clinic needs, including sick call, chronic care, urgent/emergency care, and multidisciplinary collaboration.
