About The Position

Ophelia helps people end their opioid use and restore their quality of life with respect for their time and dignity. Our mission is to make evidence-based treatments for opioid use disorder (OUD) accessible to everyone. Ophelia is a venture-backed, healthcare startup that helps individuals with OUD by providing FDA-approved medication and clinical care through a telehealth platform. Our approach is discreet, convenient, and affordable. We've been successfully operating in 14 states for almost six years and we're excited to continue our growth. We are a team of physicians, scientists, entrepreneurs, researchers and White House advisors, backed by leading technology and healthcare investors working to re-imagine and re-build OUD treatment in America.

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. Our Clinicians 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.

Our patient care hours are Monday - Friday 9-7pm and Saturday and Sunday 9-5pm, with our weekend coverage provided only by our most experienced providers! We will work with you to determine your ideal schedule within these hours.
