Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist Opportunity Northeast Florida
NorTek Medical Staffing is working on a confidential Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist opportunity in Northeast Florida, within the greater Jacksonville / St. Augustine region.
This role will support a new adolescent inpatient unit opening at the end of October. The unit is expected to start with a smaller census and cap at approximately 8 adolescent patients by the end of the year, making this a strong opportunity for a C&A psychiatrist who wants inpatient work without immediately stepping into a heavy patient load.
The client can consider either a full-time psychiatrist or a part-time morning schedule, depending on candidate interest and fit.
