Salary: $100 - $100 per hour

A bit about us: This is a specialized inpatient psychiatric facility in Wallingford providing acute behavioral health treatment to adults age 50 and older. The clinical model combines psychiatric and medical care for an older population whose needs often involve far more complexity than prescribing medication and scheduling another follow-up.

The broader behavioral health organization has been serving Connecticut for nearly three decades and works across hospitals, outpatient practices, nursing homes, assisted living communities, and other behavioral health settings.

This weekend opening is intentionally focused: see patients in the facility, coordinate their psychiatric care, and complete the remaining documentation from home. Because clinical notes do not become more insightful simply because you finish them under hospital fluorescent lights.

Why join us?

Earn $600 per day. Weekend-only schedule that can supplement a weekday position, private practice, or other clinical work. Flexible scheduling options. Approximately $1,200 per full weekend when working both scheduled days. Typically only about 4 hours onsite each day with flexible start times. No Monday-through-Friday commitment. Work from one inpatient location, rather than spending the weekend driving between multiple facilities. Focus on direct inpatient psychiatric care instead of building an outpatient panel.

Treat a specialized geriatric psychiatric population where experienced clinical judgment has real value. Join an established behavioral health organization that has operated for approximately 29 years. Work within an interdisciplinary hospital environment rather than practicing in isolation. Opportunity to maintain your inpatient skills while keeping your primary weekday role. Leadership is described as responsive and willing to address employee concerns quickly.

Potential exposure to a broader organization working across inpatient, outpatient, long-term-care, and advanced psychiatric treatment settings.

Many weekend psychiatric positions are called “part-time” right up until they quietly swallow both days from sunrise through dinner.

This is different.

You are typically in the hospital for about four focused hours each day, then you leave and finish the documentation from home. The organization gets experienced inpatient coverage. You still get a weekend.
