Behavioral Health Sales Nurse

Los Angeles, CA

Skilled Physicians Group is a mission-driven physician organization bringing expert behavioral health and psychiatric care directly to residents in skilled nursing and long-term care facilities across the country. We are committed to serving the most underserved patients in healthcare — and we are growing.

We are looking for a clinically credible, personable, and courageous nursing professional who is ready to make a meaningful impact in the behavioral health community. If you have a nursing background, a natural ability to connect with people, and the courage to step into new opportunities — we will teach you everything else.

The Role: Behavioral Health Sales Nurse

This is a relationship-first role built for nurses who are ready to take their clinical expertise beyond the bedside. You do not need to be a seasoned sales professional. What you do need is a genuine passion for behavioral health and psychiatric care, the confidence to walk into a room and build trust quickly, and the heart to advocate for patients and facilities who need our services most.

We will provide full training and ongoing support to set you up for success from day one.

Key Responsibilities

• SNF and LTC Partnership Development: Build meaningful relationships with skilled nursing facility administrators, directors of nursing, and regional leaders to introduce and grow Skilled Physicians Group's behavioral health model
• Clinical Conversations: Use your nursing background to speak confidently about psychiatric outcomes, psychotropic medication management, and the clinical and financial value our behavioral health services bring to SNF and LTC partners
• Territory Development: Identify high-potential skilled nursing and long-term care facilities in your region and thoughtfully prioritize outreach based on behavioral health need and partnership fit
• Relationship Management: Nurture long-term relationships with facility partners built on trust, clinical credibility, and consistent follow-through
• Operational Collaboration: Work closely with our psychiatric physician and PMHNP team to ensure a smooth transition from new partnership to active behavioral health service
• Performance Goals: Work toward clearly defined goals with the full support of our training and leadership team behind you every step of the way

What We Are Looking For

We are not looking for a traditional salesperson. We are looking for a clinically grounded professional with the heart of a caregiver and the courage to step into a new challenge.

• Clinical Background: Active or former RN, LPN, or psychiatric nurse with experience in behavioral health, skilled nursing, long-term care, or post-acute settings
• Personable Nature: A natural relationship builder who can walk into any room, connect authentically with people, and leave a lasting positive impression
• Courage and Confidence: The willingness to step outside your comfort zone, introduce yourself to new facilities, and advocate boldly for the value of our behavioral health services
• Behavioral Health Knowledge: Familiarity with psychiatric evaluations, psychotropic medication management, behavioral interventions, and the mental health challenges SNF and LTC residents face daily
• SNF and LTC Familiarity: Understanding of how skilled nursing and long-term care facilities operate, their behavioral health pain points, and the pressures their leadership teams face
• Growth Mindset: An eagerness to learn, grow, and develop new skills — we will provide the sales training and tools you need to succeed
• Travel Readiness: Willingness to travel within your region 4 to 5 days per week to build and nurture new partnerships
• Education: Associate or bachelor's degree in nursing required; additional behavioral health, psychology, or healthcare management training a plus

We Will Train You

We believe the best behavioral health sales professionals are not born in a sales office — they are born at the bedside. That is why we invest heavily in training and developing our team. When you join Skilled Physicians Group you will receive:

• Comprehensive onboarding and sales training tailored specifically for clinicians
• One-on-one mentorship from experienced behavioral health sales leaders
• Ongoing education on our psychiatric care model, PMHNP services, and SNF and LTC partnerships
• Tools, resources, and scripts to help you navigate every conversation with confidence
• A supportive team culture that celebrates your growth every step of the way

Why Nurses Thrive in This Role

• Your clinical credibility opens doors that traditional sales reps simply cannot
• SNF administrators and directors of nursing trust and respect nurses immediately
• You understand the behavioral health burden on SNF and LTC staff and can speak directly to their daily challenges
• Behavioral health is one of the most underserved areas in skilled nursing — your advocacy makes a genuine difference
• You bring authenticity and compassion to every conversation — and that is what builds lasting partnerships
• Your courage to advocate for patients at the bedside translates directly into advocating for facilities in the field

• Bonus Structure: Performance-based quarterly bonuses tied to partnership growth and account activity
• Full Benefits: Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
