A bit about us:

This is a specialized inpatient psychiatric hospital in West Hartford 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
Approximately $1,200 per full weekend when working both scheduled days
Typically only about 4 hours onsite each day
Complete your remaining documentation from home after leaving the facility
No Monday-through-Friday commitment
Work from one West Hartford 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.
