Job Description

Evolve Behavioral Health Services is seeking a skilled, experienced, and committed Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (APRN PMHNP) to join our Little Rock Midtown team. This role is essential in providing integrated psychiatric, behavioral, and psychosocial services to a diverse patient population. PMHNPs in this position work in a collaborative environment while maintaining appropriate autonomy within their scope of practice.

The role follows a hybrid model with both onsite and telehealth visits. Providers can expect a steady schedule consistent with a high-volume behavioral health setting. Most clinics operate Monday through Thursday from 7:45 a. m. to 6:00 p. m., supporting a four-day workweek. Behavioral health therapists are on-site, and support staff is available; however, the PMHNP will handle a substantial portion of their own administrative responsibilities.

  • Collaborate closely with medical, behavioral health, and pharmacy teams to ensure coordinated, patient-focused care.
  • Conduct evaluations, follow-up visits, and medication management within the PMHNP scope of practice.
  • Complete timely documentation, manage day-to-day workflows, and handle administrative tasks independently.
  • Support continuity of care and contribute to collaborative treatment plans.

Qualifications

  • Graduation from an accredited nursing school and recognized Nurse Practitioner program.
  • Current Arkansas PMHNP licensure.
  • DEA license required.
  • Basic Life Support certification; CPR and ACLS required. (American Heart or Red Cross)
  • Experience in psychiatric or behavioral healthcare appropriate to the role.
  • Strong communication, organizational, and interpersonal skills.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and electronic systems.
  • Ability to prioritize, problem-solve, and work independently.
  • Willingness to travel occasionally; primary location is Little Rock Midtown.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary.
  • Four-day workweek.
  • Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, life insurance, and 401(k) retirement plan with company match.
  • Discounted medical and dental services for employees.
  • Productivity incentives.
  • Potential eligibility for National Health Service Corps (NHSC) loan repayment programs, depending on federal qualification criteria.
