Job Description

Why PsychPlus?

The current delivery model for mental health care is broken in this country. PsychPlus set out on a mission to reimagine how mental health care is delivered to every American. Our goal is to provide a digital-first, modern approach to psychiatry and therapy. We provide care both in-person at our offices across Texas and virtually so our patients can be seen at their convenience.

Through a combination of exceptional medical and psychological care and best-in-class technology, we provide an unparalleled approach that serves our patients needs in an integrated way. Join us in our mission to ensure that every person has access to affordable and accessible mental health care.

About The Role

As the Director of Behavioral Health, you will be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of behavioral health services. This role requires an experienced RN with executive CNO background to provide strong leadership, ensure regulatory compliance, and support nursing and clinical staff. You will work closely with leadership to foster a culture of quality care, patient safety, and clinical excellence, while ensuring that nursing staff are properly supervised and supported in delivering patient-centered care.

Responsibilities

  • Provide strategic and operational leadership, ensuring safety, compassion, and patient-centered care.
  • Develop and implement clinical protocols, policies, and procedures to enhance the quality of care for diverse behavioral health populations.
  • Collaborate with hospital administrators and interdisciplinary teams to optimize patient outcomes and operational efficiency.
  • Lead and mentor nursing and clinical staff, promoting a culture of continuous improvement and professional development.
  • Oversee patient safety, quality assurance, and performance improvement initiatives in line with regulatory standards.
  • Utilize data-driven approaches to monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) and drive clinical excellence.
  • Manage staffing, budget, and resource allocation to ensure efficient and effective patient care delivery.
  • Serve as a clinical expert and advocate for behavioral health within the hospital and broader healthcare community.
  • Maintain compliance with all relevant federal, state, and local regulations, including HIPAA and Joint Commission standards.

Requirements

  • Registered Nurse (RN) with an active, unencumbered license in Texas.
  • Minimum of 10 years of nursing experience, including executive CNO (Chief Nursing Officer) leadership in behavioral health.
  • Deep understanding of clinical operations, patient care, and quality improvement in an inpatient and outpatient setting.
  • Proven ability to lead, mentor, and inspire diverse clinical teams.
  • Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with a commitment to patient-centered care.
  • Strong analytical skills, with experience using data to drive clinical and operational improvements.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, hospital environment with complex patient needs.

Perks

Our goals are to find the best, attract the best, and offer a competitive salary—which is why we prioritize the quality of the hire over the number of hires. We offer zero-stress medical, dental, and vision coverage, competitive salaries, and a generous PTO policy. We are excited to tell you about a few "perks” we offer that are unique to Psychplus. We’ve spent time thinking through what it means to be a modern mental health company and how we can better align these additional perks with our mission and values.

Additional Information

The expected base pay for this role will be between $130,000 to $160,000 annually at the commencement of employment. However, base pay will be determined on an individualized basis and will be impacted by location and years of experience. Further, base pay is only part of the total compensation package, which, depending on the position, may also include incentive compensation, discretionary bonuses, other short and long-term incentive packages, and other Psychplus Health-sponsored benefits.

So—what do you think?

If you’ve made it this far, well, we’re excited to meet you too. Just one more thing that we want you to remember: we pride ourselves on our meritocratic, performance-driven culture. We are a startup and move at the speed of light. You might be required to wear multiple hats at any given time. There’s no room for complacency. Your scope of responsibility and opportunity to make a difference will be uncapped at Psychplus, but we need your commitment that you will work tirelessly for our patients, parents, and partners. At the end of day, our team is committed to helping you succeed at Psychplus because when you succeed, our patients succeed, and we get one step closer to solving the mental health crisis. We’re hopeful that this role will give you the experience to go and do whatever you want in life but the fulfillment to make you never want to leave our team. We look forward to solving the mental health crisis, together.
