About The Position

CLFC Healthcare and Communications is recruiting a Registered Nurse for a steady, Monday-to-Friday assignment at Wayne County’s outpatient mental and behavioral health clinic in Lyons, New York. The nurse works on-site with psychiatric prescribers, therapists, and care managers to provide medication management and ongoing behavioral health nursing care. The role pays $52.00–$58.00 per hour, with the rate based on experience and relevant skills. The schedule is five 7.5-hour days, totaling 37.5 hours per week. Some shifts may extend past 5:00 PM when the clinic is open late, no more than twice per week. There are no overnight, weekend, or holiday shifts. This is a W-2 hourly, per diem contract assignment. Pre-authorized overtime is paid at time and a half. If the clinic cancels a confirmed shift two hours or less before it begins, four hours are paid. Orientation is paid at the nurse’s rate, and pay is issued weekly on County-approved time. CLFC arranges and pays for fingerprinting, immunizations, screening, and license verification. Paid sick leave accrues under New York law, and professional liability insurance covers every shift. The role also includes reimbursement for New York license and CPR renewals, support for continuing education and certifications, and up to $1,500 per year in tuition assistance toward a BSN. A $500 referral bonus is offered for bringing a nurse or aide onto the roster. Program terms are provided in writing before acceptance. Scheduling is managed through the BRIDGE App, which confirms schedules, sends added or changed hours for acceptance, stores license and certification records, and provides expiry reminders.
