At Reema Health, we believe that a personalized, community-based approach to care makes it easier for anyone to access the things they need to make their lives better. We know that life’s challenges often exist because the systems built to help are a burden to navigate. We believe building a relationship with a real person — someone who listens, meets our members where they are, and understands the community— can ease those burdens and effectively connect members to health care. Our mission-driven and member-focused company is seeking an experienced and self-motivated Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner to serve the behavioral healthcare needs of our members.

The Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner is an integral part of our team, helping lead the creation and implementation of behavioral healthcare for our members. At Reema, we believe integrating social and clinical care is the most effective way to support member wellbeing. You’ll see members in an outpatient clinical setting via telehealth. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team made up of Therapists and non-clinical Community Guides to collaboratively provide a holistic approach to member health and support you to work at the top of your license. Our approach is to provide the right amount of care at the right time for each of our members.

Reema is expanding our service delivery into behavioral healthcare, so we are looking for someone who is comfortable helping create the details of our care model within the ambiguity of a fast-paced startup. For the right person, this position has the potential to grow into a leadership role.

• Assess and diagnose behavioral health conditions, both chronic and acute.

• Support post-discharge planning to prevent readmissions
• Provide medical evaluation of patients who are experiencing psychotic symptoms or may be at risk from alcoholism, drug abuse or addiction
• Use EMR to manage member care and coordination with multidisciplinary team
