The Center for Alternative Sentencing and Employment Services (CASES)

For nursing professionals, CASES offers opportunities within its Mobile Behavioral Health (MBH) programs, which include Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) and Intensive Mobile Treatment (IMT) teams. These multidisciplinary teams serve adults with serious mental illness, often with co-occurring substance use disorders, histories of criminal legal involvement, and frequent use of crisis services, shelters, and hospitals. The Registered Nurse role at CASES is distinct from traditional hospital nursing: at least 80% of services are delivered in the community rather than in a clinical setting. Responsibilities include medication management and administration, health assessment, counseling, and psychoeducation to support participant stability and recovery. The position is full-time, Monday through Friday, starting at 9:00 AM. CASES operates across multiple New York City locations including Harlem (4 West 125th Street) and the Bronx, and offers a range of employment types including night shift, part-time, full-time, and internship opportunities.

CASES states a commitment to helping people regardless of background, reflecting its mission to provide alternatives to incarceration and support reintegration. The organization emphasizes evidence-based, community-based, and individualized care, focused on promoting recovery, wellness, and successful community integration for individuals with serious mental illness and criminal legal involvement. Current job postings also include roles for therapists, clinical directors, and outpatient supervisors, indicating a multidisciplinary clinical approach.
