  • Develop initial care coordination and behavioral support plans
  • Collaborate closely with nursing staff who will provide ongoing monitoring and patient support
  • Communicate with supervising psychiatrist as needed
  • Maintain timely and accurate documentation within the EMR

 

Qualifications

  • Licensed and certified as a Physician Assistant or PMHNP in Texas (required)
  • Experience in geriatric psychiatry, long-term care, or dementia care strongly preferred
  • Experience with cognitive assessment tools and behavioral management strategies
  • Comfortable delivering care via telehealth platforms
  • Strong clinical judgment related to polypharmacy, fall risk, and medication safety in older adults
  • Ability to work collaboratively within a team-based care model

 

What We Offer

  • Fully remote work environment
  • Consistent daytime schedule and strong work-life balance
  • Supportive administrative, nursing, and psychiatric leadership team
  • Flexible compensation structure 
  • Opportunity to make a meaningful impact in an underserved geriatric population
  • Minimal administrative burden with strong clinical support

 

About the Role

This is an excellent opportunity for a clinician who values relationship-based care, thoughtful medication management, and team-supported treatment for medically complex older adults.

 

What Will Set You Apart:

  • Experience working with older adults or in geriatric mental health
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills with a compassionate, patient-centered approach
  • Bilingual in English/Spanish is a plus
  • Established relationships within your local community

Benefits & Compensation

  • Extremely competitive salary
  • Full-time position with comfortable visit lengths
  • Supportive clinical and administrative team
  • Opportunities for professional growth, leadership, and meaningful impact within a mission-driven organization

Schedule

  • Monday – Friday FT position
  • 2 patients per hour plus very minimal supervisory expectations

How to Apply
