Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

Founded in 2020, Lavender is the largest nurse-owned and operated online psychiatry and therapy office in the United States. Our extraordinary team of 100+ talented and like-minded people works remotely across the United States, Canada, and the Philippines to collaboratively increase access to high-quality, high-touch mental healthcare.

We are looking for a full-time Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in Pennsylvania who is excited to build a thriving telepsychiatry practice with the autonomy of a 1099 model, while having the infrastructure, support, and patient demand of an established organization behind them.

Lavender is an equal opportunity employer. We are proud to foster a workplace free from discrimination. We strongly believe that diversity of experience, perspectives and background will lead to a better environment for our team and a better experience for our clients. We strongly encourage people of color and members of the LGBTQ+ community to apply. 

The Opportunity

This is a full-time 1099 opportunity designed for NPs who want to build a high-volume practice and maximize their earning potential. At Lavender, you have the flexibility of an independent contractor while benefiting from a robust clinical and operational support system. With strong patient demand, flexible scheduling, and the ability to work a full-time schedule, experienced NPs can have the opportunity to earn $200,000+ annually, depending on their hourly rate, availability, and appointment volume.

Our NPs are able to build their schedules within our operating hours of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week, giving you the flexibility to create a schedule that works for you while maintaining a consistent full-time caseload.

If you're looking for the autonomy of private practice without having to build the practice infrastructure yourself, this could be a great fit.
