If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and meet hard challenges head-on, this is the role for you.

The role

We are seeking a Medical Provider [NP, PA] to provide whole-person care to people struggling with addiction. This includes treatment of substance use disorders in our opioid use disorder (OUD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) programs, and medication-assisted treatment in collaboration with our behavioral health team. Through our Responsive Care services, you will provide comprehensive medical and mental health services to our members, similar to urgent and primary care services. We are a growing organization looking for people to grow with us. A candidate who is caring, dedicated, and possesses strong communication skills and a true desire to help others will fit well here.

You will interact with members and families, referral sources, field staff, and partner community-based organizations. You will work with licensed counselors to support members’ individualized recovery journeys. Your work will help members receive quality care in their communities and improve outcomes.

We offer care to our members between 9 am – 8 pm Monday through Friday, and 1 pm – 5 pm on Saturdays. Full-time, part-time, and hourly positions are available.

This is a remote position, with potential for hybrid care in the communities we serve. All candidates must reside in-market unless otherwise agreed.

• Co-facilitate group therapy and medical education meetings with a licensed counselor.

• Several years of experience in addiction medicine, psychiatry, primary or urgent care.
• Strong compassion for people and communities affected by addiction.

• Excellent time management and attention to detail.
• Strong work ethic and team-oriented, with the ability to multitask.
• Proactive, flexible, and inquisitive approach to improving care delivery.
• Extensive experience with electronic health records and telemedicine.

It would be great if you have

• Experience managing substance use disorders in pregnant individuals.
• Experience working with diverse populations and understanding cultural, social, and economic factors affecting care.
• Experience with mental health conditions and willingness to travel locally in North Carolina.
