Overview
📍 Lake County, IL (Beach Park / Libertyville)
At AOR, we provide compassionate, community-based mental health services that empower individuals to take ownership of their recovery. We’re hiring a Psychiatric Registered Nurse to join our Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team in a unique hybrid role blending psychiatric nursing, care coordination, and community-based case management
.
Approximately 75% of care is delivered in client homes and community settings rather than in a hospital or clinic. You’ll support individuals with serious mental illness and co-occurring disorders through assessment, medication education, crisis intervention, and ongoing care coordination—helping clients stay stable, out of crisis, and moving forward in recovery.

- Provide medication education, monitor adherence and side effects
- Coordinate care with psychiatry, primary care, and community providers
- Participate in treatment planning, recovery goal setting, and case coordination
- Transport clients in your personal vehicle to medical appointments and community-based locations as needed
- Respond to crises using trauma-informed clinical judgment; participate in shared on-call phone rotation
- Support coping skills and independent living skill development
- Provide clinical guidance to LPNs and collaborate closely with the interdisciplinary ACT team
- Document services accurately in the client management system
- Active Illinois RN license (or eligible within 60 days)
- Associate Degree in Nursing required (BSN or MSN strongly preferred)
- BLS or ACLS certification
- 0–2 years of mental health experience preferred (early-career nurses welcome)
- Valid IL driver’s license, personal vehicle, and auto insurance (100k / 300k)
- Make a real impact helping clients avoid hospitalization and maintain stability
- Enjoy a non-hospital, community-based nursing role with autonomy and variety
- Work with a supportive, collaborative ACT team
- Full benefits: medical, dental, vision, life insurance, PTO, parental leave, referral program
- Multiple bonus opportunities
If you’re a nurse ready to make a difference beyond the hospital walls, we’d love to meet you.
