Job Description - Registered Nurse (RN) Behavioral Health

Make a meaningful difference in your community. 



Easterseals PORT Health is seeking a full-time Registered Nurse (RN) to join our Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Team. In this role, you’ll provide essential, community-based care to adults living with serious mental health and substance use challenges.


This is not traditional facility-based nursing. It’s impactful, hands-on behavioral health work serving individuals where support matters most – in homes, shelters, and community settings.


Voted Raleigh’s Best Nonprofit and Best Mental Health Services two years in a row!



Your Role in Our Mission


As an ACT Team RN, you will work within a multidisciplinary team delivering community-based behavioral health support. You’ll provide psychotropic medication management, holistic nursing assessments, care coordination, and crisis response — all aimed at helping individuals achieve stability, independence, and improved quality of life.


You will develop meaningful relationships with clients, support them through real-life challenges, and ensure seamless continuity of care across community environments. You’ll collaborate closely with psychiatrists, therapists, co-occurring disorder specialists, and other behavioral health professionals to deliver truly integrated care.



Why Join Us?


At Easterseals PORT Health, we invest in your growth, your well-being, and your ability to thrive in your career. You’ll join a mission-driven ACT Team that values collaboration, community engagement, and exceptional care delivery.


This full-time role follows a Monday–Friday schedule with rotating on-call responsibilities. Community travel is required.


We offer comprehensive benefits for benefits-eligible positions.



Compensation & Benefits


Salary Range: $75,000 – $85,000 annually, based on experience


Benefits include:



  • Medical, Dental, & Vision Insurance

  • Paid Time Off + 11 paid holidays

  • 403(b) Retirement Plan

  • Company-paid Life & Disability Insurance

  • Mileage reimbursement

  • Company-issued phone, laptop, and full IT support

  • Employee Assistance Program

  • Eligibility for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)



What You’ll Do


Medication & Clinical Care



  • Administer and monitor psychotropic medications as prescribed

  • Conduct nursing assessments and track symptoms, side effects, and medical issues

  • Document all care and observations in the Welligent EMR


Care Coordination



  • Partner with the team psychiatrist to update medication protocols and care plans

  • Participate in daily in-person ACT Team meetings to ensure coordinated, person-centered treatment


Crisis Response



  • Provide crisis assessment and intervention as part of a rotating on-call schedule


Community-Based Support



  • Deliver nursing care in clients’ homes and community settings

  • Educate individuals on health management, wellness, and medication adherence

  • Advocate for client choice and connect individuals with needed community resources



What We’re Looking For


To be successful on the ACT Team, you should be compassionate, flexible, and comfortable providing care in diverse community environments.


Required Qualifications:



  • Active, unrestricted RN license in North Carolina

  • Experience in behavioral health or mental health (preferred)

  • Comfort working in community-based settings

  • Valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and vehicle insurance

  • Strong communication, documentation, and relationship-building abilities
