Description

At Thresholds, we believe in meeting people where they’re at – in their environment and on their journey to recovery. Registered Nurses provide medical and psychiatric support where it makes the most impact – in a person’s community. Working as a Registered Nurse for Thresholds provides an opportunity for work/life balance while meeting the needs of clients who experience mental illness and oftentimes lack access to adequate health care.

Through care planning, assessment, and implementation, you will be an integral part of a client’s growth and recovery. You will work closely with clinical teams including consulting psychiatrists and medical doctors. Part of your role with the clinical team will be providing health education and training on topics relevant to the clients' overall wellbeing.

The culture at Thresholds is collaborative and supportive, providing you with the tools and resources you need for the best client care. Opportunities for training and professional development, including nurse supervision, will deepen your knowledge and expand your clinical skills in harm reduction, trauma-informed care, and other evidence-based practices. This invaluable experience is enhanced by a standard business-hours schedule, with rare weekend and evening appointments.

The Thresholds Homeless Outreach Program (HOP) was established in 1989 to provide assertive outreach, linkage to primary and psychiatric care, and resource referral to people experiencing homelessness along with serious mental illnesses. We are Chicago’s only citywide mental health homeless outreach program, and our primary goal is simple: to get people living with mental illnesses into stable housing and help them recover and regain their lives. We believe it is not enough to simply be available to the people who need our services – we need to bring our services to them.

Homeless Outreach Workers are out in the community in all weather and conditions, which takes commitment and grit. Thresholds will have your back through a collaborative and supportive culture that provides you with the tools and resources you need for the best client care. Opportunities for training and professional development, including clinical supervision, will deepen your knowledge and expand your clinical skills in harm reduction, trauma-informed care, and other evidence-based practices. This invaluable experience will set you up for a variety of career paths and growth opportunities within our organization.
