Director of Advanced Practice Psychiatry

Millions of people across the country are navigating mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and eating disorders, but too often, they’re met with barriers to care. From limited local options and long wait times to treatment that lacks personalization, behavioral healthcare can leave people feeling unseen and unsupported.

Charlie Health exists to change that. Our mission is to connect the world to life-saving behavioral health treatment. We deliver personalized, virtual care rooted in connection—between clients and clinicians, care teams, loved ones, and the communities that support them. By focusing on people with complex needs, we’re expanding access to meaningful care and driving better outcomes from the comfort of home.

As a rapidly growing organization, we're reaching more communities every day and building a team that’s redefining what behavioral health treatment can look like. If you're ready to use your skills to drive lasting change and help more people access the care they deserve, we’d love to meet you.

To maximize our impact on the youth mental health crisis, we need to build out our team of psychiatric providers. This is not possible without leadership opportunities for everyone, hence the position of Director of Advanced Practice Psychiatry. This role is for PMHNPs who want to step into management and hire their own team of PMHNPs who directly report to them. This role involves ongoing direct clinical work with our client as well as an administrative role that involves attending/contributing to weekly operational meetings and hiring then managing other PMHNPs. 

As a Director/Manager, you will be tasked with building out your own team of PMHNPs by running that recruitment process, then supervising and meeting  with them weekly in 1:1 sessions to discuss cases. To allow for adequate time to supervise, clinical time will decrease 1 hour for every direct report (max 5 direct reports).  Of note, if a collaborative agreement with a physician is required, a Medical Director will do that and meet with the PMHNP monthly.

We’re a mission-driven team working to expand access to life-saving behavioral healthcare for people who need it most. Across all departments, we collaborate to deliver meaningful outcomes and build a more connected, effective model of care. If you're inspired by our mission and excited to help transform the behavioral health landscape, we encourage you to apply.
