Embark on a transformative journey as a Behavioral Health / Psychiatric Registered Nurse in Brattleboro, Vermont, where compassionate care meets a community that genuinely values well-being. In this role you will partner with psychiatrists, therapists, social workers, and support staff to deliver patient-centered care for adults and adolescents navigating acute psychiatric crises, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma-related conditions, and complex care plans. Your clinical expertise will guide thorough assessments, risk and safety evaluations, evidence-based interventions, crisis stabilization, medication administration, and precise, compassionate documentation. You will play a pivotal role in developing individualized recovery plans, de-escalation strategies, and collaborative education for patients and families that builds coping skills, resilience, and meaningful, sustainable progress. You’ll care for patients across shifts, contributing to a predictable schedule that supports continuity of care and caregiver well-being. This opportunity begins 03/23/2026 for a flexible duration of weeks, with guaranteed hours of 36.0 per week and a competitive pay range that recognizes your dedication and clinical excellence, with weekly pay between $2,113 and $2,177. The position is designed to offer professional growth within the behavioral health specialty, enabling you to refine assessment techniques, deepen psychopharmacology knowledge, and develop leadership competencies as you mentor peers and new graduates.

Location benefits: Brattleboro sits in the heart of Vermont’s scenic landscape, offering a blend of small-town charm and accessible outdoor recreation. You’ll enjoy fresh mountain air, easy access to hiking, biking, and the Connecticut River, plus a vibrant arts and dining scene that enriches everyday life outside the hospital walls. Vermont’s slower pace can support deeper patient relationships and reflective clinical practice, while proximity to regional medical networks provides strong collaboration opportunities. Beyond Brattleboro, the Vermont region offers diverse communities and care settings, allowing you to experience a variety of patient populations and behavioral health programs within a supportive statewide framework. And for those drawn to exploring nationwide opportunities, the program also presents the potential to collaborate with teams across the U.S., broadening your professional footprint while anchoring your practice in a region known for its safety, community values, and access to outdoor splendor. Note: The hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary. Final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.

Role specifics and benefits: In this role you’ll conduct patient evaluations, monitor clinical status, administer medications in line with best practices, implement therapeutic interventions, and document progress in electronic health records with accuracy and compassion. You’ll participate in multidisciplinary rounds, contribute to care planning, and coordinate transitions of care with inpatient and outpatient teams. There is strong potential for professional growth within behavioral health, including opportunities to pursue certifications, expand crisis intervention competencies, and assume greater responsibilities such as charge nurse duties or peer supervision roles as you gain experience. The position also includes a compelling benefits package featuring a signing bonus to recognize your immediate impact, housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary housing needs, and extension opportunities that provide continuity and the chance to deepen your relationships with patients and colleagues. Comprehensive support is a cornerstone of our program, with 24/7 assistance available to traveling clinicians, dedicated clinical liaison support, and a robust network of mentors and peers to help you navigate clinical challenges, adjust to new settings, and maintain work–life balance while delivering exceptional patient care.
