Job description

UpLift – Redefining Access to Mental Healthcare

At UpLift, we believe mental health is just as important as physical health — and we're rethinking the mental healthcare model. UpLift is a multi-sided marketplace, applying technology to empower patients to find Therapists and Psychiatric providers covered by their insurance plan.

While 1 in 5 Americans struggle with mental health issues, only 40% of this group received care in the last year. At the same time, only 30% of therapists accept insurance. UpLift acts as the bridge between patient, provider, and insurer — empowering patients to find the best care for their needs at a price they can afford.

Why Join UpLift

• Competitive pay: Earn between $100-$140 per hour, with access to administrative support and a flexible schedule.
• Expand access to care: Provide psychiatric services to individuals who otherwise may not have access to mental healthcare.
• Collaborative model: Work hand-in-hand with UpLift’s network of licensed therapists to deliver world-class, evidence-based care.
• All-in-one virtual platform: Focus on your patients — UpLift handles credentialing, enrollment, and platform operations.
• Work from anywhere: This role is 100% remote, with care delivered via UpLift’s purpose-built telemedicine platform.
• Flexible commitment: Part-time, 1099 contract position

What You’ll Do

• Conduct video consultations and message with patients via telemedicine.
• Assess, screen, diagnose, and prescribe medication as clinically appropriate.
• Coordinate treatment planning and care delivery with UpLift’s network of therapists.
• Provide empathetic, high-quality care and uphold UpLift’s clinical and service standards.
• Share product and workflow feedback with UpLift’s engineering and operations teams to help improve care delivery.

Who We’re Looking For

• At least one year of experience as a certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) or licensed Psychiatrist.
• Active medical license in North Carolina, in good standing.
• Comfortable prescribing medication when clinically appropriate and permitted by state law.
• Skilled at using online tools and technology to deliver virtual care.
• Previous telemedicine experience is a plus.
• Multiple state licenses and fluency in additional languages are strong advantages.

Important to Know

• This is a part-time, contract (1099) position — not a salaried employee role.
• UpLift will credential and enroll you with multiple health plans to expand access to insured patients.
• All care is delivered remotely through UpLift’s telehealth platform.
• All clinical decisions are made independently by licensed providers in accordance with state telehealth laws and professional standards.

• PMHNP
