Amae Health • Charlotte, NC

About The Position

Amae Health is a Series B, venture-backed Public Benefit Corporation that delivers specialty outpatient care for people with severe mental illness. We build and operate high-acuity, in-person clinics nationally.
Our model integrates psychiatry, therapy, primary care, dietitians, and community support under one roof. It has proven itself as the most effective in the country, which is why we collaborate with leading health systems including NewYork-Presbyterian, Cedars-Sinai, Mass General Brigham, Novant Health, and CommonSpirit to extend our care to where it’s needed most.
But what makes us fundamentally different is that we are also building the science and technology layer that this field has never had. We are developing proprietary clinical protocols, designing novel measurement science, and engineering an AI data science platform purpose-built for the complexity of severe mental illness. Every patient interaction generates data that feeds back into our protocols, our technology, and our understanding of what actually works.
We reduce hospitalizations. We improve stability. We keep people alive and in their communities. We help our members gain purpose and meaning.
We are hiring a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) (full- or part-time) to join our growing Charlotte, NC clinic. You’ll be part of an interdisciplinary team dedicated to delivering personalized, compassionate, and high-quality care for individuals with serious mental illness (SMI).
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at Amae, you will play an integral role in our collective mission to become the center of excellence for SMI care. In alignment with Amae’s holistic wrap-around care model, you will co-manage a panel of complex members through behavioral health assessments, diagnosis, treatment recommendations, treatment planning, clinical treatment, medication management, and follow-up planning.
Working within a collaborative and shared decision-making model, you will partner closely with psychiatrists, therapists, peer specialists, primary care providers, and community partners. As a patient advocate, you will help members navigate the health and social services systems in Charlotte and work closely with patients to address problems, answer questions, gather and provide information and advice, and connect patients to resources and community supports.
Rooted in trust and rapport, you will initiate, establish, and maintain relationships not only with patients but also with families as you care for members of Amae Health.
A provider who thrives at the intersection of clinical best practice, innovative care models, and the latest technology, caring for complex patients is your north star. Curious and inventive, you ask the questions that lead us beyond the status quo and take great pride in being part of an organization that is moving the needle for SMI care.
If you are excited to work side by side with a dedicated, compassionate interdisciplinary team building a center of excellence for SMI care, we would love to hear from you.
