Job description

Registered Nurse (RN) – Behavioral Health & Community Services

Pittsfield, MA | Full-Time | Berkshire County

About the Opportunity

Arbor Associates is partnering with Berkshire County's largest and most comprehensive behavioral health organization to place Registered Nurses across its programs. With over 100 years of service to the region, this nonprofit operates 26 locations county-wide and touches the lives of more than 10,000 Berkshire County residents each year — including 4,000 children. Nursing roles are available across multiple divisions and service lines, meaning there is genuine opportunity to find a placement that fits your clinical background, schedule preferences, and professional goals. This is not a hospital. It’s something different — and for the right nurse, something more meaningful. You'll work alongside clinicians, psychiatrists, case managers, peer specialists, and direct care staff in a fully integrated, mission-driven environment built around recovery, resilience, and whole-person care.

Where You Could Be Placed

• Acute & Crisis Services A 24/7 Community Behavioral Health Center (CBHC) serving as an alternative to hospital emergency departments for individuals in behavioral health crisis. The CBHC provides crisis response, urgent care, psychiatry, and medication management for people of all ages, regardless of insurance status.
• Community Services (ACCS) Adult Community Clinical Services programs operated in partnership with the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health — including 24-hour staffed residential homes and community outreach through Integrated Care Teams serving adults with serious mental illness across Berkshire County.
• Adult & Family Services Outpatient behavioral health services including individual, couples, and group therapy; psychopharmacology evaluations; medication management; and substance use treatment including opioid treatment with medication-assisted therapy (MAT).
• Child & Adolescent Services Programs serving youth and families across Berkshire County, including outpatient behavioral health, intensive community-based services, therapeutic day programs, and residential care.
• Addiction & Recovery Services Comprehensive opioid treatment programs with medication, psychotherapy, and case management — available across North Adams, Pittsfield, and Great Barrington.

What You’ll Do

• Clinical assessment of individuals served across behavioral health and medical dimensions
• Medication administration, management, and Medication Administration Program (MAP) oversight
• Health monitoring and care coordination for individuals with complex co-occurring medical and psychiatric conditions
• Collaboration with multidisciplinary teams including psychiatrists, clinicians, case managers, and direct care staff
• Patient and staff education on health promotion, symptom management, and wellness
• Documentation and compliance with Massachusetts state regulations and program standards
• Participation in treatment planning and care team meetings
• Triage and episodic care as needs arise across program settings

Why This Organization

• Scope and variety — with programs spanning crisis services, residential care, outpatient treatment, youth services, and addiction recovery, there is real flexibility in where your skills are applied
• Mission that endures — over a century of uninterrupted service to Berkshire County, with deep roots in the community and a stable, well-resourced nonprofit structure
• Integrated, team-based care — nurses here work as genuine clinical partners, not in isolation
• Berkshire County — live and work in one of the most vibrant and scenic corners of Massachusetts, with a strong arts, outdoor recreation, and community culture
• Scale with community feel — 450+ employees across 26 locations, with the organizational depth of a large provider and the mission focus of a community nonprofit
