Job Description: Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner - Mobile Integrated Behavioral Health Program the Wellness Winnie Initiative
About Paragon Behavioral Health Connections
Paragon Behavioral Health Connections is a Colorado technology-powered behavioral health organization offering seamless digital health and in-home services. Paragon offers comprehensive care that is convenient for where people live. Our vision is to provide services to families with complex needs, help resolve challenges, and obtain skills and resources to achieve well-being. Paragons comprehensive services support youth and families through challenges as they step down from inpatient hospitalization, comprehensive support for child welfare-involved families, and services for youth with complex needs including depression, behavioral challenges, trauma, family conflict, and substance use.
We are hiring therapists and social workers licensed and unlicensed in Colorado to be a part of our diverse multidisciplinary team. At Paragon we believe in providing services for the whole family system to ensure exceptional effectiveness. With Paragon you and your team can focus on providing outstanding care for families, while we handle the administrative work (obtaining referrals, verifying insurance, credentialing, billing, support, audits, and compliance).
Why Join Paragon?
We are not regionally based which means we are able to provide services to those in need statewide. This means you can support not only those who live in your region but those who have a harder time accessing care in rural communities of Colorado as well.
- Flexibility: You set your own schedule, and work with the family to determine the best times that work for them and their needs. This is what we mean by meeting the client where they are at. Create your own weekend during the week so you can take advantage of Colorados best activities such as hiking and skiing when there are less people on the trails.
- Clinical Leadership & Support: Paragons executive team includes licensed providers engaged in business decisions and planning, ensuring the provider perspective is always included. They also provide licensure supervision as an added perk of employment and is provided at no additional cost to you.
- Benefits: Company-paid health, dental, vision, short-term/long-term disability, and life insurance coverage available through United Health Care, Delta Dental, and Principal. This ensures you are receiving 100% of your salary well after taxes of course.
- Career Development: Paragon is consistently growing and that means there is room for growth. As we expand our services and community reach, we can tap into different modalities whether it be substance use treatment or early childhood development, and you will be able to grow your expertise in areas of your interest.
