Now hiring for two tracks: Hospital-Based Consult (IPC) & Outpatient Clinic
At Steadfast Health, we're on a mission to deliver hope, healing, and long-term health to those experiencing substance use disorder, through best-in-class addiction treatment and an unwavering belief that lasting recovery comes from partnering with our patients as respected equals in their care journey. We're a passionate team striving to raise the standard of compassionate care for our patients, and we know that to do that, we must care for our people first.
We're growing across the continuum of care and currently hiring Advanced Practice Providers for two distinct tracks— a hospital-based inpatient consult (IPC) role and an outpatient clinic role.
Both offer the chance to practice at the top of your license inside a collaborative, physician-backed, harm-reduction model. Review both below and apply to the one (or both!) that fits your background and interests.

Role Summary
Hospital-Based Consult (IPC): You'll practice at the top of your license in our hospital partner settings, providing a compassionate, evidence-based addiction medicine consult service that fills a critical gap in SUD care. You'll serve as a primary point of contact for hospital providers, delivering timely consultations, treatment recommendations, and mission-driven support to patients — working closely with attending physicians, hospitalists, nursing staff, and case managers, with physician backup readily available.
Outpatient Clinic: You'll practice at the top of your license in a supportive, evidence-based addiction medicine model, collaborating closely with physicians, therapists, and peers to deliver coordinated, compassionate care to a full patient panel. With streamlined workflows and dedicated MA support, you'll spend more of your day doing what matters most: caring for your patients without distraction.
In either track, you're not just joining a care team — you're helping shape the future of addiction treatment.

- Demonstrate flexibility and proactive problem-solving in a dynamic, fast-paced environment
- Continuously pursue learning opportunities to stay current on addiction medicine best practices
- Passionately support Steadfast's mission to provide low-barrier, non-punitive, harm-reductionist SUD care

Outpatient Clinic specific:
- Diagnose and manage SUDs and associated comorbidities, embodying the Steadfast patient-first ethos

- Pioneer novel ways of improving access and care for disadvantaged, marginalized populations
- Create a warm, welcoming environment that fosters trust with patients and communities
- Provide occasional cross-coverage for inpatient consult APPs as needed

- Comprehensive medical and/or psychiatric evaluation and management experience in SUD treatment
- Strong knowledge of SUD diagnoses, medications, and treatment modalities
- Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to build trust with patients and collaborate across teams

Hospital-Based Consult (IPC):
- Minimum 1–2 years of hospital-based clinical experience strongly preferred (Internal, Family, Emergency, or Hospital Medicine background a plus)
- Ability to confidently navigate hospital systems, workflows, and interdisciplinary teams
Outpatient Clinic:

- Demonstrated ability to work independently and manage a full patient panel with minimal ramp-up time
Benefits (both tracks)
- Medical, dental & vision insurance
- Flexible time off with generous PTO, floating holidays, and paid volunteer days
- Re-Fuel Days: 4 additional paid days off annually for mental health, rest, or CEU activities
- Continuing education: annual CEU stipend plus ongoing paid training
- AI-enabled EMR documentation to reduce administrative burden
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP): free, confidential access to therapy, legal, financial, and wellness resources
- MA/LPN and Peer Recovery Specialist support so you can practice at the top of your license
- Collaborative care model with physician backup and therapist support
- 401(k) with up to 5% company match
- 100% employer-paid short- and long-term disability and employer-sponsored life insurance
- Clinician-led leadership, including Dr. Mac Stephen (Co-Founder & CCO), Morgan Schlundt, PA-C (Head of Medical Operations), and Ashlee Lewis, FNP (Director of APP Development & Hospital Partnerships)
- Ground-floor opportunity to help shape how we grow
(Outpatient track also includes: 60% of premium coverage detail, manageable panel sizes, protected daily time for recharging/supervision/collaboration, and protected time for clinical huddles)
Physical Requirements
Both roles require the ability to move throughout the care setting (hospital units or clinic space), manual dexterity and fine motor skills for exams and documentation, clear verbal/written communication with patients and teams, the ability to occasionally lift or move up to 25 pounds, and visual/auditory acuity sufficient to assess patients and respond to clinical situations — including calmly handling urgent or emotionally charged moments.
