About The Position

Steadfast Health is hiring an experienced Advanced Practice Provider for its growing Nashville clinic. This is a new, growth-driven role rather than a backfill. The provider will practice in an evidence-based addiction medicine model, working alongside two other APPs and a multidisciplinary clinic team that includes therapists, a medical assistant, an LPN, a Peer Recovery Specialist, and a Clinic Manager. A Medical Director is available for collaborating physician support. Streamlined workflows and dedicated clinical support are intended to help the provider focus on patient care. The role provides Office-Based Addiction Treatment (OBAT), medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) services. The provider will conduct 60-minute initial visits and 20-minute follow-ups and manage a panel capped at approximately 80–100 patients. The schedule is Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Central Time, including a daily morning team huddle and a protected one-hour midday break. There are no nights or weekends. Steadfast describes the role as a sustainable work environment with work-life balance, mentorship, CME funding, ongoing paid training, and leadership pathways. The position offers the opportunity to help shape the clinic’s growth and deliver low-barrier, non-punitive, harm-reductionist substance use disorder care. Candidates with lived experience in recovery, or personal or family experience with addiction and recovery, are welcome to apply.
