Overview:

Nurchure Staffing Solutions is seeking a dedicated Locum Tenens Psychiatrist to join a community-based mental health diversion program in Los Angeles.

• Diagnose and manage the mental health needs of adults with forensic histories.
• Prescribe, dispense, and monitor psychotropic medications on a temporary basis.
• Document responses and adjust care plans accordingly.
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team on assessments, treatment planning, and interventions.
• Participate in daily case consultations to ensure coordinated care.

Qualifications:

• Commitment to community psychiatry and patient advocacy.
• Experience in forensic or field-based psychiatry preferred.
• Strong communication, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to manage time effectively and work independently with attention to detail.
• Proficiency with EMR systems, email, and Microsoft Office tools.
