Experience: 2 years of experience in mental health or emergency nursing preferred.

Job Description

The Crisis Receiving Center is now open. It’s a 24/7 facility serving up to eight individuals at a time who are experiencing behavioral health crises: an alternative to the emergency department, with a maximum stay of 23 hours.

What that means for you, day to day: a manageable client load, a team of three to five staff working alongside you on every shift, and the ability to actually know the people in your care. If you’ve been carrying twelve patients on a med-surg floor or running between rooms in an ED, this is a different rhythm.

Annual Salary – $80,000

**CHCS believes in the importance of work-life balance, we offer generous leave time with paid sick & vacation time plus seven paid holidays and five paid float holiday time to our full-time staff and pro-rated time for part-time staff.**
