- The Director of Nursing will play a key leadership role in developing protocols, training teams in new crisis-care skills, and helping staff adapt to a modern behavioral health emergency care model
- Lead the development of a new Behavioral Health Emergency Center model by building nursing protocols, crisis workflows, and clinical standards for psychiatric stabilization and withdrawal management
- Guide and inspire nursing teams through organizational transformation, building confidence in new clinical skills and fostering adoption of a modern vision for behavioral health emergency care

- Train and support nursing staff in psychiatric crisis stabilization, suicide risk assessment, de-escalation, and substance use withdrawal management
- Foster staff confidence and competence in new clinical skills and evolving models of care.
- Partner closely with executive, medical, and multidisciplinary leaders to ensure coordinated, effective crisis services
- Promote a culture of accountability, compassion, teamwork, and continuous improvement
What You Bring
- Registered Nurse (RN) with an active Colorado license or eligibility.
- Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) required.
- Minimum of 7 years of nursing experience.
- Minimum of 5 years of nursing leadership experience.
- Experience in behavioral health, psychiatric services, or crisis care environments.
- Clinical experience in psychiatric crisis care, substance use disorders and withdrawal management, dual diagnosis treatment, suicide risk assessment, de-escalation, and behavioral health medication management.
- Preferred experience with inpatient behavioral health units, psychiatric emergency services, behavioral health emergency center models, and leading teams through program development or organizational change.
- Strong leadership presence with the ability to motivate teams, navigate complexity, and lead confidently through change.
