About the role

Clinicians are a critical part of our care team at Ophelia. As an Advanced Practice Practitioner, you will provide clinical care to patients receiving medication for opioid use disorder and a narrow suite of mental health conditions (depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc…).

You’ll work closely alongside other clinicians, triage nurses, and administrative care coordinators to deliver compassionate, evidence-based treatment to patients with OUD.

We offer compassionate, non-stigmatizing support for patients, act as a liaison and advocate for them, and ensure patients receive appropriate care as their needs evolve. Depending on role type, clinicians conduct Intake visits and/or follow-up visits, and work within a team-based approach model of care to deliver high quality care to our patients. We have multiple different clinical role types depending on your experience with MOUD, and through our team-based model of care we provide a strong support system to ensure that you and our patients feel comfortable and supported.

Conduct behavioral health / psych evals for the suite of psych services we treat (depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.)
• Monitor/Medication Management: systematically track treatment response and monitor patients for changes in clinical symptoms and side effects, treatment adherence, the effectiveness of treatment or complications, and prescribe or queue the appropriate medications
• Education: provide patient education on OUD and MOUD
• Charting: Document all patient encounters in Ophelia’s EHR in a timely and high quality manner

Compensation range

Please note that total compensation is a base salary & benefits package. Base salary rate is based on experience prescribing MOUD.

We set compensation based on the level and skills required for the role. We value pay transparency and equity, and are committed to fair pay. In order to prevent pay disparities and reduce time spent in negotiations, we take a “first and best” offer approach: this means we’re not holding any compensation back from our candidates, and you can feel confident that our pay is fair and does not vary based on the strength of someone’s negotiation skills.

Compensation is dynamic at Ophelia: as long as the company performs well and meets our targets, there will be opportunities for increased compensation annually. We’re happy to discuss this approach and our bands if you have questions during the interview process.
