Job Description

Nurse Manager (RN) – Outpatient Behavioral Health Clinic

Contract (3–6 Months, Potential to Convert)
Full-Time | On-Site | Pittsfield, MA
Presented by Arbor Associates

Arbor Associates is seeking an experienced Nurse Manager (RN) for an outpatient Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CBHC) in Pittsfield, MA. This is a hands-on leadership role supporting a high-acuity outpatient population within a small, collaborative clinic environment.

The Role

The Nurse Manager oversees triage and level-of-care decisions while remaining clinically active. The clinic supports up to approximately 20 patients at a time, many transitioning from inpatient or residential treatment into outpatient care. This role combines direct nursing work, care coordination, and light team leadership, with minimal day-to-day supervision.

You’ll work closely with a limited number of providers and supervise a very small support team (typically one to two staff members, including oversight of the medication screener). Strong clinical judgment, organization, and independence are essential.

Key Responsibilities

This role includes overseeing triage and acuity assessments, supporting level-of-care determinations, supervising the medication screening process, and completing nursing tasks such as medication reconciliation, order management, and patient education. You’ll help coordinate care across providers and services and support patients during critical transitions from higher levels of care.

What We’re Looking For

We’re seeking an RN with a strong clinical background and confidence working with high-acuity populations. Prior supervisory or management experience is preferred, even with small teams. The ideal candidate is reliable, proactive, and comfortable making independent clinical decisions in a fast-paced outpatient setting.

This role is not a fit for candidates who require close supervision or lack confidence managing acuity and workflow.

Requirements

An active RN license is required. Experience in behavioral health, outpatient settings, or care coordination is strongly preferred.

Position Details

• Job Title: Nurse Manager (RN) – Outpatient CBHC Clinic
• Employment Type: Contract (3–6 months, potential to convert)
• Schedule: Full-time, on-site
• Location: Pittsfield, MA
• Compensation: Competitive contract rate (range to be confirmed)
