Senior Public Health Nurse - Reproductive & Sexual Health

Senior Public Health Nurse – Reproductive & Sexual Health

This isn't a typical clinic nursing job. As a Senior Public Health Nurse on our team, you'll move between three distinct settings: a clinical environment for STI screening and reproductive health services, a local detention facility (1–2 visits per week), and community outreach events where you'll provide direct services and education.

You'll operate under standing orders from our medical director, obtaining sexual histories, screening and treating STIs, and connecting patients to further care and resources. There's also potential for field-delivered therapy — meeting patients where they are, always with a partner, always safely. The work is high impact with every single patient.

What you'll do day to day

• Conduct STI screening and treatment in clinic and at a county detention center under standing orders
• Obtain complete sexual histories and connect patients to appropriate care and community resources
• Provide reproductive and women's health services, including contraception and STI counseling
• Deliver patient education at community outreach events
• Coordinate care with a multidisciplinary team including our medical director and jail medical providers
• Occasional field-delivered therapy (never alone — always with a partner)

What makes you a great fit

• Nursing license in good standing + public health nursing experience
• Background in women's health, reproductive health, or sexual health — this is where you'll stand out
• Comfortable coordinating across disciplines: physicians, community partners, correctional health staff
• Adaptable when program demands shift — you adjust without losing your footing
• You take pride in the care you give, even when the setting is unconventional
• Nonjudgmental approach with patients navigating complex social and health circumstances
