More about Southcoast Behavioral Health
The campus is opening a new unit and hiring into eight-hour evening and night patterns, including temp RN contracts that can convert to full-time and RN Supervisor nights with rotating weekends. You carry a personal panic alarm; safety is named a top priority for patients and staff. Benefits run through Acadia Healthcare and include medical, pharmacy, FSA, HSA, vision, dental, voluntary STD/LTD, EAP, and related financial supports. If you are benefits-eligible at 30 or more hours a week, tuition reimbursement goes up to $3,000 per benefit year, and postings list MA Student Loan Repayment eligibility. Peers often mention a supportive, collaborative team on the floor. Career growth is a thinner story here. Staff describe limited advancement, unclear paths, and feeling undervalued, and reviews also flag uneven management and high workload against limited PTO. You weigh steady psych census and concrete education supports against those ceilings before you apply.
