Description

firsthand supports individuals living with SMI (serious mental illness). Our holistic approach includes a team of peer recovery specialists, benefits specialists and clinicians. Our teams focus on meeting each individual where they are and walking with them side by side as a trusted guide and partner on their journey to better health.

firsthand's team members use their lived experience to build trust with these individuals and support them in reconnecting to the healthcare they need, while minimizing inappropriate healthcare utilization. Together with our health plan partners, we are changing the way our society supports those most impacted by SMI.

We are cultivating a team of deeply passionate problem-solvers to tackle significant and complex healthcare challenges with us. This is more than a job—it's a calling.

Coordination: Coordinate care with patients’ other providers to ensure seamless health management.
Training: Develop and deliver training on basic medical topics for peer mental health workers and social workers.

Triage Nurses should have:

Strong triage and prioritization skills, with the ability to rapidly assess and determine the appropriate level of care.
Problem-solving expertise with a creative, patient-centered approach.
Ability to provide condition-specific patient education and self-management guidance.
Adaptability to varying team cultures and processes.
Empathy, compassion, and approachability in patient and team interactions.

Required experience includes:

Active RN license through a Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) state and willingness to obtain licensure in non-compact states.
Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) or Associates of Nursing (ASN)
At least 3 years of Emergency Room (ER) experience
Experience working with populations facing challenges such as serious mental illness, behavioral health conditions, and/or substance use disorders

$80,000—$80,000 USD
