Job Description

Are you a licensed Psychiatric Technician or Vocational Nurse in California looking to make a real difference in the lives of others? Join the dedicated team at Ventura County Medical Center (VCMC), where you'll provide compassionate, hands-on care to psychiatric patients in our Inpatient Psychiatric Unit under the direction of physicians and registered nurses.

This is more than just a job, it’s a unique opportunity to combine psychiatric and medical nursing skills in a dynamic, team-based environment. Unlike the Hospital Technician I and the Health Technician series roles, this position allows you to provide comprehensive care within your full scope of licensure, helping individuals on their journey toward stability and wellness.

At VCMC, we are proud to be a fully integrated public healthcare system committed to serving the whole community—especially the underserved and those who face barriers to care. More than 75% of our patients come from this “safety net” population, and we need compassionate professionals like you to help fulfill our mission of equitable, high-quality healthcare for all.

Be part of a team that’s changing lives every day. Make a meaningful impact in psychiatric care.

WHAT WE OFFER:

• Educational Incentive: An educational incentive of 2.5% for completion of an associate's degree, 3.5% for completion of a bachelor's degree, or 5% for completion of a graduate's degree.
• Bilingual Incentive: Incumbents may be eligible for bilingual incentive depending upon operational need and certification of skill. Proficiency levels by exam are $0.69/hour (Level I), $1.00/hour (Level II), or $1.32/hour (Level III).
• Certification Pay: $0.813 per hour based on scheduled work week hours for each qualified certification up to a maximum of five (5) certifications. One of the five certifications may be paid at $2.00 per hour for a National Certification. List provided in the MOA, Exhibit 9.
