State Now Hiring Numerous Clinical And Patient Care Positions

Last updated on Wednesday, November 28, 2018

(INDIANAPOLIS) - The NeuroDiagnostic Institute and Advanced Treatment Center, Indiana’s newest state psychiatric hospital opening in spring 2019, is hiring management and staff nurses, social workers, behavioral health recovery attendants, recreational therapists and many other positions across the hospital.

The NDI is undergoing final construction on the campus of Community East Hospital in Indianapolis. Upon opening, it will be operated in partnership with Community Health Network and will be a key component in the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration's initiative to modernize and re-engineer Indiana's network of state-operated psychiatric hospitals.

"This is an exciting time for our agency and the ideal time to join our state psychiatric hospital system as one of the first employees at the new NDI," said Jerry Sheward, M.D., who will serve as superintendent and medical director. "This new facility is a crucial part of our re-engineered statewide treatment system, where we will introduce novel models of care, using modern genetic and imaging techniques to deliver more precise diagnoses, faster stabilizations and effective treatment plans for incoming patients."

A description of open positions may be found on the NDI's website, or at www.fssa.in.gov, along with information about how to apply. The positions being hired will begin with extensive training at Larue Carter Memorial Hospital in Indianapolis and then transition to the NDI in 2019. This planned transition will allow employees to be better-equipped in delivering expert neuro-diagnostic evaluations designed to move patients more efficiently and effectively into the most appropriate treatment settings within the community or state mental health system.

Nurses and behavioral health recovery attendants will work a 12.5 hour shift, three times a week. The state of Indiana is an equal opportunity employer, offering a comprehensive benefit package.
