Overview

Are you an experienced Registered Nurse passionate about youth mental health and community support? We're looking for a School-Based Clinical Care Coordinator (RN) to join our team and deliver compassionate, integrated care directly within a school setting. This role is designed for someone who thrives in multidisciplinary environments and is committed to advancing mental, emotional, and physical well-being for youth.

You’ll be a key connector—working closely with families, educators, mental health providers, and community partners to ensure youth receive the timely, coordinated care they deserve. While primarily based in a school, flexibility to provide care in the community when needed ensures families are supported holistically.

• Guide families through insurance navigation, financial assistance programs, and appointment coordination

• Use trauma-informed, youth-centered approaches to build trust and rapport
• Recognize early warning signs of emotional distress and intervene appropriately

Documentation & Compliance

• Maintain detailed and secure records of services, outcomes, and communication in the EHR
• Ensure care plans and documentation meet organizational standards and HIPAA guidelines
• Submit timely caseload inventory logs; assist with billing readiness by completing NPI registration and affiliation

Community Flexibility

• While school-based, this role may require care delivery in homes or community settings when necessary to meet the needs of youth and families

Qualifications

• Active RN license in the District of Columbia
• Experience working with youth, particularly in school or behavioral health environments
• Strong foundation in mental health care, trauma-informed practices, and care coordination
• Excellent communication, documentation, and team collaboration skills
• Familiarity with electronic health record systems
• Completion of NPI registration and provider affiliation prior to start
• Ability to work flexible hours and in varied settings as needed

Make a lasting impact—where care meets community.
