Lewiston, Maine: We invite a compassionate Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to join a big PEDIATRICS practice in Maine’s second largest city, just 40 minutes from Portland. This highly respected private group dominates the pediatric market in this region – providing care for infants through teens and young adults. They have a busy outpatient practice, with more than a dozen providers practicing in their kid-friendly standalone building, and their pediatricians also provide care for inpatients and attend births in two Lewiston hospitals.

A flexible schedule is available – your choice of part time (3 days/30 hours per week) or full time (4 days/40 hours). Newer providers are encouraged to apply. This is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

At present, two Physician Assistants provide mental health care and medication management for their patients. Since Covid hit, local resources have experienced a decrease in their capacity to provide mental health services for young people. In response, this group is adding another practitioner to support more patients with childhood behavioral issues, and an increasing number of adolescents and young adults who need care in areas such as depression, crisis management and addiction.

You will have an important and rewarding outpatient-only role working with these patients and their families, providing assessments, diagnostics and treatment plans along with counseling and med management. Enjoy practicing in a spacious, modern facility with fully integrated EMR and an experienced support staff. Join a community where caring for young people will have a measurable impact!

You will earn a competitive base salary plus a benefits package that includes paid liability insurance, paid license costs, health and dental insurance, plenty of earned time plus paid holidays, paid leave plus a budget for your CME, and more. Student loan assistance is also available.
