Nurse Practitioner (NP)
About This Role
We are looking for a Nurse Practitioner to join NWC on a contract basis to provide neurodivergent-affirming assessment and ongoing medication management for neurodivergent adults. This is not a high-volume, transactional role, we are looking for a practitioner who approaches care holistically and understands that medication management for neurodivergent adults is inseparable from identity, experience, and context.
This role offers a starting rate of $126 per hour.
Assessment at NWC will be grounded in the CARES framework, Collaborative Understanding, Accessibility, Recognizing Intersectionality, Empowerment, and Strengths Recognition, a neurodivergent-affirming model for collaborative psychological assessment. The NP joining NWC will be expected to apply this model in practice.
